No, not funny.

Thad's been throwing up bricks all game. Its hard to believe he's shooting over 50% on the year.

This game proved how Rubio can be a horrible shooter and still impact wins. Towns was playing like shit until the end of the 1st half when Rubio gave him 4 easy points. Now he is confident and dominating. Rubio just knows how to run a team. Great win.

Finally we routed an opponent. I'm glad I'm not a Nets fan. They are terrible, devoid of much young talent and traded away their 1st rounder this year and another year.

A lot to like today!

Wiggins back to primarily SG has been good. The combination of using LaVine at backup PG in the 1st half and Miller in the 2nd half is a reasonable compromise between development and winning.

The Dieng-KAT combo has been good. It makes for a solid front court after KG gets his token minutes, and also makes the integration of Pek into the rotation much more seamless with either Dieng or KG playing PF alongside Pek.

Rubio and Wiggins have been playing very well. Shabazz gets the short end of the stick, but he just has to wait for KMart to be moved.

I like the chemistry we have evolved into. Hopefully they can keep it going.

Nice win boys. Nice problem to have when your bigs are making all the outside shots. Nice to blow somebody out, especially Brooklyn asshats.

Nice. Nice. Nice!

Great win. Defense once again was key to the win. Our offense has been incredibly consistent lately. Here are our last 9 games' point totals in regulation (we hat two OT games in this stretch):

103
106
114
100
101
100
102
99
100

You can almost book us for 100 pts per game. Yet we won only three of these games because we didn't defend well enough. This team isn't going to win with prolific offense, so the key for us is the defensive side of the ball.
