    Going into the New Year back on pace for a 45 win playoff team. Coach didn’t stutter when he said it: I’ve never not been in the playoffs.

    Once the backcourt catches up, look out.

    Feels good to beat a good team again.

    Last time we beat even a decent team was on Dec 8 against the Nuggets.

    Mavs last night don't count of course.

    What a game! Defense absolutely locked in there at the end. Pelicans looked flightless.

    Alright, I'll start. I hope Jalen Green gets his jumper back from Santa this Christmas.

    Those last five minutes were a defensive Masterclass.

    Who says Bari is a bust??

    Who says Alpi can’t anchor a good defense??

    A tough road win against a fully healthy playoff team says otherwise
