Hahaha. No kidding. I've never been so hard on Gorgui and look what he did. I can get even meaner.

I missed the game tonight and just started watching the recording of it. We're down 10-2 and watching it I'm surprised we eventually won the game, much less by 18 points. We should be down by more at this point given all the open threes we've allowed them. Then there was KAT passing up a wide open three, which eventually led to a terrible missed contested two by Wiggins. It will be interesting to see how we turned this around. :)

Didn't watch but Davis got ejected and towns got in foul trouble so we played defense (I kid I kid)

I'm LST now but based on the box score looks like Bazz is out of the rotation.

Also thibs is saying FU to all us and says you think I play guys to much well I will only play 8 guys now

This was the inevitability. You can't have it both ways. We had a winning record playing 10 deep but people were still mad. So now he's switching to playoff lineups in November. Get well Teague and Belly.

Just caught up with this one.

- Big win against another Western Conference playoff contender, further strengthening our record within the conference.

- That was one of Wiggins' better all-around games. He was hitting on his full arsenal of shots (many of which I feel are ill-advised). Good to see his 3-ball go in. That is really big for him.

- Tyus effing Jones ladies and gentlemen! Man, that dude just knows how to play and is a cold-blooded thief. Just really impressed with him.

- Going to an 8-man rotation literally forced Thibs to do what a number of us have been calling for - leave 2 or more starters on the floor at all times. I feel bad for Bazzy, but he's had 20 games to get his crap together. We can't afford to keep trotting him out there.

- Dieng finally coming through with a big game. Good to see.

- KAT got some much needed rest. He mostly struggles against the Pels and Gorgs was doing great.

I have to admit, I did not expect a win. I'm impressed with this one.

Thibs actually made some decisions for the betterment of the team tonight.

He staggered Wiggins and Butler. One of them was on the floor at all times with the bench.

Dieng was great, so thibs rewarded him for his play and left Kat on the bench for most of the 2h.

Bazz didn't see the floor.

We're getting through to him! (or more likely, injuries and Bazz's poor play finally forced his hand).

Now here are two other suggestions. One, it's OK to play Bjelly at SF in certain situations. Two, it's OK to play Tyus and Teague together in certain situations.

DeMarcus Cousins tally tonight:

- 4 embarrassing flops.
- 2 attempted trips.


[Note: Tyus Jones just does little things throughout the game to help his team. Good for him.]
