1-4 over our last 5 and we're playing Minnesota, the 20-20 team which is currently on a 4 game winning streak. All 4 of those wins have been by multiple possessions, and 3 of them have been victories of at least 15 points or more; blowouts. Now, admittedly, two of those games were against OKC and one was against Houston, but we are not really a team in a position to be looking down on those guys right now. You can't scoff at a team blowing out OKC when you're only 1 win better than OKC are.

Let's see which Pels team turns up.

The door is wide open for the Pels to comfortably be in the 9/10 spot before all star break. Nobody in the bottom dweller group can separate. And the next their up includes teams like minnesota/clippers/lakers.

In other words...WEAK.

It's time to string some wins together. They should have beaten Toronto. They really need to win tonight and get moving.

One of these years, the opponent will not shoot 70% from 3 every game.

NAW is a better team player making assist than trying to score points.

Peak NBA reffing with the phantom foul.

Call what you see ffs

This team needs a legit lead guard in the worst way. Our offense is so stale.

BI is so freaking clutch.

BI!!!

I’m so happy for BI. He loves his team.

BI was the best player on the floor with 33 and 9 assists. He'll never have teammates complaining he needs to pass the ball.

Thinking Basketball is pretty much wrong on every prediction they made about him as a Laker.



So glad they beat the Minnesota Currys. Next up the LA Currys. Terrance Mann will go 8 - 10 from 3.

They've got to do something about this shirt. Put color in the paint or something. Jesus.

BI for sure has and is learning to be clutch. This team may not be greatly talented but they sure fight tooth and nail. Not sure if Zion deserves this team. He just seems to be too self centered and only really cares about what his family/camp has to say. He does not strike me as a team first player. Maybe he'll prove me wrong , I hope so

Great win! Graham just couldn’t hit much tonight. But these men play for each other and you can feel it. Very refreshing.

What a game to watch ! Great TEAM win!

Isn't this all we were asking/hoping for years ago? A team even if not winning but giving 100% effort to the enjoyment of the fans watching.

Graham is the ultimate streaky bench player. He is not an NBA starter. He and NAW are bench players. We should have kept Ball if we could not use that money on a true lead PG.
