Seven over .500! I'm getting lightheaded with the thin air up here!

Outside of letting the Suns back into the game it was another nice road win! Jimmy is an absolute stud!

It was a great win. I love Butler but I can't say enough about Taj. He is always doing the right thing on both sides of the ball. He bailed us out at the end of that game when Jimmy went hero ball and bricked it.

Didnt see the game (I'm sitting here in a cafe in Nazereth!), but great to hear Taj was solid again. And Butler just keeps getting better...32 points on only 19 shots. Also nice to see Wig go 8-17, although no free throws is worrisome...get inside, Wig! Looks like the bench was terrific...collectively a plus 47 in 64 almost respectable minutes. Sounds like Belly practiced hard two days ago, so he has to be back soon...that's only going to add to the bench's effectiveness and provide some much needed rest for old man Taj!

Thought he was so good that I didn't even need to comment on him. And he played point guard for the majority of the game. Remember all those wonderful debates whether it was Murray vs Hield or Murray vs Dunn? I think those are some of the board classics!

I remember those debates. I was a Hield guy with Murray as my second choice followed by Dunn. With hindsight, Murray would now be my #1 with Dunn a close 2nd and Hield 3rd.

It's still early on all those guys. I think it's been surprisingly up and down for all 3.

Anybody else been feeling as though the number of good minutes per game as a team has been increasing steadily since this thread was started? I'm not trying to suggest a connection, only saying the my feeling has been increasingly positive, and not just because they've been winning. They still have regular bad stretches and let teams back into the game, but the flat out ugly stretches seem to be decreasing as a percentage of each game. Maybe it's just the winning, or the joy in watching Jimmy being Jimmy, but my attitude regarding this team has improved significantly the past couple weeks!

The easy stretch is over. Bucks will destroy your optimism real quick tonight!

Yep that was a good debate. I was definitely a Buddy fan. I think all 3 will be around in 5 years.

Agreed. Murray had some pretty nice moments in that Wolves game. He was the guy I would have picked out of the 3 and Dunn was the guy I wanted least. We are still a long way from knowing which guy will be the best. It was just a few weeks ago Lyles was just some young former UK that was a non-factor and the last few weeks he has been a terrific offensive player much like I thought he MIGHT have a chance to be.
