Folks mocked my enthusiasm, but tonight's win proved we are going to win a lot of games.

Amir Johnson is okay for shooting threes. He had a lot of time and once a much shorter guy arrived too late to get in his face. If Amir can hit them a little off-balance, we are in great shape.

I think Amir and Horford should play on different units. It seems like an obvious decision. Both may have started out as power forwards, but they are clearly built to dominate the middle.

Zeller is good to eat minutes. That's about it. He is a coin flip of a player. Chicago was toying with him at the beginning. He has to seize this opportunity or he will always be a scrub at the end of the bench. He shows no fight on defense. Olynyk surpassed him.

I'm guessing Kelly is back in a week or two. Mickey will have to eat minutes here and there.

The team is stacked while missing Al Horford, Kelly, and I don't know what happened to Jae.

I think we are going to go on a Butler March Madness run winning a lot of close games while people heal. Tomorrow night sounds difficult, but maybe if we win that one the schedule gets easier.

We need Olynyk. Bradley and Isaiah need to stay injury free. We are actually down to the end of being good with guys out. We can't lose anyone else or then we'll be relying on guys like Young, Mickey and Jackson to miraculously become instant rotation players and NBA competitive.

It seems like Zizac will be signed and join at the end. Zeller's gone anyway after this year is perhaps an easy prediction.

Gerald Green is probably due thirty points off the bench if Jae's out.

Keep the faith. You don't want to act like a downer then jump on the bandwagon later.

I can't believe how underrated our players are by their own fans.

Zeller stinks, but he fills in time.

I'm not giving up on 65 wins, but the best case scenario is everyone is healthy for the playoffs and not rusty.

We almost won it all one of the last Big Three years by coasting through the season and then turning on the switch.

Marcus Smart is a great player. Jaylen might grow faster with other guys injured. Jordan Mickey made the classic rookie mistake tonight. He stepped in bounds before making the outlet pass. But maybe one of these games coming up he'll have a breakthrough game. I noticed James Young got only one minute despite our players dropping like flies.

I see Tyler Zeller led the team with a +10. That shows how much I know. We'll get  it done. People critiqued our lack of rebounders. I said we'd do it the old-school way as a team. That is happening. People who watch a lot of games know what I'm talking about.

After the short-handed C's get stomped by Cleveland tomorrow, what will be their pace then? ::)

That's an excellent point. I'll just move the field goalposts back a few easy games coming up.

My ultimate excuse is the injury card. I do not want to use it. That would be giving up.

We are somewhat hanging around with the Cavs. This could help us in the long run. Now we know Zeller and Jerebko aren't that good and Brown must get his minutes. We need Horford and Olynyk. I can't believe people attacking Amir Johnson, Smart, Olynyk and some others. Those guys are capable of being part of a winning team.

And as I complain about Zeller, he cruises in for a dunk. We're only down 12 late in the third.

I am not sure about your math, but a 3-2 record would still be solid, all things considered. That gets baseball teams into playoffs.

The leads down to eleven.
