Isaiah has elevated his play to a level I never thought it could go

Amen to that.  He is really the main reason for our outstanding play. Everyone is feeding off of him.  Go IT.

He had taken it to a very high level lately, 52 highly efficient points one night and then 15 assists or whatever it was the next.  In the playoffs last year, ATL just sagged into the paint and didn't let him get to the paint, daring someone else to beat them.  Last night he showed that that strategy may not work this year.  To me, that is a significant hurdle to have gotten over.

The biggest thing with Twinkle Twinkle is that he's inarguably been a closer for us lately.  That's been one of the key things people said this team lacks... a guy who you can trust to put the ball in the hoop late.

We caught some breaks with Conley and Hill being ou, a starting PGs being out will change any team's dynamic. But I'm impressed with our boys I'm looking forward to seeing how we attack Toronto next Tuesday in a battle for the #2 seed.

Last night was a pretty solid win over an upper-echelon, better-record-than-us .600+ team, but nobody is talking about it. Why is it that we only complain about not winning .600, yet when we do, nobody acknowledges it?

Next Friday, the 13th, is another chance for us for us to prove it against the Raptors.

It is weird. We have been playing very very well since we have been at full strength and it just feels like some fans are waiting for things to go wrong so they can dump on the team.

It's because we all grew up as Red Sox fans, as well. ;)

That one took me a minute to get, but I like it
I'm bitter.
