We beat the cavs tonight. With a combined 5 points from Crowder and Olynyk. This team has guts. I love this team.

We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Finally! We've been playing it well but I'm calling it now this team is going on an absolute tear

i think they already are on a tear. they have won 8 of the last 9 games.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I'll take a team that plays together and with spirit over 2 guys any day of the week.  Superstar players can be detrimental to development.  I'm honestly concerned about what we are going to do with all these picks for that reason.  I love how this team is developing. We can blow it in a variety of ways.

If there is one thing I hate about the internet and have never agreed with it's the focus on the other stuff instead of what we have and getting better as a team.  More in a positive sense.  Players don't play well at times but it doesn't mean we should trade them.

Or bring in players that hurt chemistry.  We have to be very careful what we do in that regard.  Whoever we bring in we have established a culture where that player has to be more a part of what we are doing.

As Jeff Van Gundy said - if you want a team that plays hard, get players that play hard.  This team has some terrific grinders.  Can't get over that Smart play on Mozgov.  When you keep battling like they do, good things are going to happen more often than not.

I understand but the beauty of how this team is set up is that we could possibly trade for a star without giving up any of our main rotation players. This isn't like when the NYK traded everything for Anthony. We can keep our chemistry and still add talent.

Oh I agree.  Imagine if we could get Cousins or a guy like that.  Or even Howard and get them to play to their potential and be a part of this culture and spirit.  We want that guy to put us over the top in ways but not destroy that spirit though.

Super talented players play down sometimes is all. If we are too talented. We want that fighting spirit in ways to put us over the top.  Not the superstar.

We want to beat the lebrons of the world in ways and shock the world.  It's hard to explain. We want to be that underdog in some fashion.

It feels so good when we do.  Not just because we are supposed to.

David vs Goliath.  RAWR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great team win. I'm hoping we get up and eventually secure the 3rd seed. We can beat the raptors in a series and be eastern conference finalists. Thats pretty impressive at this stage of the rebuild. Stevens is amazing. Isaiah Thomas is amazing. The chemistry on this team is amazing. I love this team.

Yep. Tonight I stopped dreaming about multiplayer trades. Let's just see what the best single player that David Lee and picks can get us, and keep everybody else for the rest of the season.
