First time in a long time they have been 4 games over .500

i truly believe it is the improved defense that is doing this. and tonight, they moved the ball up the court quickly just about every single time. that was nice.

Bench sucked tonight.

Deep bench sucked. Richardson Schroder, and Grant accounted for 29pts.

44 bench points.

I don’t consider Romeo deep bench. He’s way ahead of Pritchard, Nesmith, And Bruno.

Ime, put everyone in wholesale when 4 of those guys hadn't been on the court all game and haven't seen the court in a while against guys that were playing all night. These guys need to get time here and there so they'll be ready when we need them. Good win. I hope it's wire to wire against Orlando!

Right but I agree with Scal that NBA pros should know how to beat a press.

[Silas]

Our 3 and D guys, Josh and Grant played well again.  The rest of the bench not so good.

[radiohead]

Can we pull Grant and put Jabari.... oh, right. 

I wonder what Jabari’s been up to nowadays? Congrats and TPs everyone!

Less than 20 minutes a game is deep bench.

It was really only bad when Ime went with wholesale deep bench line up.

[colincb]

Cs moved up to 8th place in the East.

watched on tape delay.   tonight's hot takes:
- great third quarter by Tatum.  good fourth quarter too.  first half was ok.
- JB - good start followed up by a weaker game
- Timelord was fantastic
- GWill, Schroder and JRich were all solid off the bench again for us.
- Defense was fantastic until the bench brigade came in
- bench brigade was inexcusably bad at the end.  just inexcusable.  Romeo's solid work earlier in the game became a distant memory with his participation in that debacle.

The team has a chance to make it out of the play-in round and possibly make some real noise in the first round of the playoffs depending on who they match up with.  that's provided they continue on this upswing

Hopefully someone picks him up. I liked Jabari.

We could very well pass the Nets if we beat them in 2 matches. Who thought about that 1 month ago ?  Toronto is hot and has a better coach but I don't know if they will sustain this rythm after ASG.

Hope for a remontada and à top 5/6 rank. Lets go Cs there is some place in this eastconf

They let the Celtics get hot! League is in danger

There’s a reason those guys haven’t been seeing the court, and we saw it in the last four minutes.  That said, I liked that Ime stuck with them instead of putting back in the starters.
