Nice to see a glimpse of this team's potential. Great win on the road to snap an ugly two game skid and in spite of Wade going off for an unconscious 35 points.
What a great win after a tough week n
Thanks Knicks!
I saw JH offense tonight, way more Pnr
This feels like a game we lose in yrs past. Wade goes off, we get out rebounded and out shot on the freethrow line. Bulls go on a major run in the second quarter to take the lead after we go up by 15. We kept our pose, shared the ball, and grinded out a great win.

Tons of PNR's...Particularly Rose and Noah. Worked just about every time.

That's what I've been ranting about. I think he said F it. I'm gonna do this my way.

we need a coach like that. Big Props to jeff
that was a nice flash tonight to see what this team can do... esp when you make kp the man by giving him the rock. hopefully we can build off of this and keep competing, keep getting better.

This is why I liked the hire. Haven't seen on the court what Hornacek did in Phoenix, until tonite.
Great team effort, play like this in we win 50+ games
What a game. No complaints. Rose and Noah going off the court with Noah poking at Rose was an iconic moment. This team can be really good. I wish it was Sunday.

Yeah and that two point guard line up to close out the game was great. Definitely looked like a Hornacek team tonight.

Was just thinking that?!? Where is that cat?!? Radio Silence. How many assists does DRose have, 10? game winning And 1 and pass to Melo for 3! Don't hear any chirping now?!?
Nice not to have the game thread spammed with Rose hate.

He'll see an uptick in minutes if we can play with Rose, Lee and BJ in a 3 guard
At times both Rose and Jennings showed how much pressure they can put on a defense. Also, Rose has been able to get to the basket but tonight he really seemed to have regained his touch once he got there.
This weekend won't suck! Enjoy.

This season will depend on how Jeff controls MelRose

no weekend should suck because of the result of game. However its definetly a nicer feeling
All things considered - which is all the new faces and Rose/Noah missing most of training camp and preseason - looking at these first 5 games, going 2-3 ain't all that bad. Every single team we have played so far is a team that should be above .500 or a playoff team in the league.

A bad loss would've definitely ruined my mood. I was so happy to see Hornacek and the team regroup and get back to playing uptempo and with better spacing, ball and player movement in the halfcourt. For those that assumed they couldn't do it is say TAKE THAT!
No really tho it's about this team playing the right way. When they do they will have a chance to win every game.
Melo and Rose have to set up the bigs early on and trust them in games. It's all about team work. At the same time, it also was refreshing to see what the starting 5 can do when given more minutes. We likely won't get to see this on a consistent basis, which is where you see Noah, Rose, Lee play this much.
Really smart of Hornachek to call out the team for not getting the ball to KP. Paid dividends right away.
