My god did we need that win more than anyone else in the league. Literally, the only good news we've gotten since christmas day.

Is this the start of things to change? I sure hope so

TP for positivity.  This is a good win for the team.  We still have a lot of things to iron out, but if this team was ever gonna suck, it was gonna be in the dog days of the midseason.  I see high energy, I see players getting healthier, and we've got a new sparkplug coming in tomorrow.  The real season starts now...

Another positive spin:

Today's game showed us exactly why we need Nate Robinson.  I found myself wishing he was with the team in that fourth quarter.

So with Nate on the floor today, do you think that our winning margin would've been more than one?

What does Nate do better than Eddie?

Dribble, pass, penetrate, and shoot from anywhere that isn't behind the three point line.

He does not shoot as well coming off screens, but we won't run plays for him like that so that's not a huge issue.

He's a reasonably good dunker as well

Not in actual games, except in break away situations.

Eddie House's 3PT Shooting Percentage This Season= .383%

Nate Robinson's - 3PT Shooting Percentage This Season = 375%

One is a freak athlete and one is a spot up shooter.

Nate Robinson can also actually finish inside.  He's made 6x more shots inside this season than Eddie House.  He adds an extra element to our second unit.

He's also a better passer / ball-handler (even though that's not his strength).

He's got new car smell. Don't underestimate new car smell.
