Do we need JB OF COURSE. But I’ve said this about every small ball dominate PG. Like AI in Philly, Leon has to figure out how to build around JB and JB has to adapt his game and pick his spots, like crunch time. I don’t think JB at PG is the answer to a chip. I think we need a tall eric snow type ball handler and defender to play with JB. A role I thought Mikal would play. A role I think Deuce can play depending on matchups.

Interesting post game interview by Josh hart.

Def enjoyed this one cause it'll probably be years before we beat that team again once they get back Haliburton, Siakim and a top pick! Hart was so good!

It’s all par for the course. He will be fine. Rookie stuff.

Offence looked a lot better w/o JB. More ball movement, faster pace, and less one on one stuff leading to stagnet offence.

Didn't we score 140 something points with 45 assists against Denver WITH Brunson just a few games ago?

Always feels good to beat the hicks! Savor it guys cause it's not going to happen much moving forward. Hated the defense in the first half and you can tell Brown let them have it at half time. The defense was a lot better in the second half and we held the hicks to 47 points (19 in the fourth) when they scored 64 in the first half.

Game ball def goes to Hart! 5/5 from three and 12/13 overall! OG was also dominant! 4/5 from three and 10/13 overall! KAT was also really good and had some nice defensive plays and showed some moves we haven't seen much this season including step backs and one foot fades ala Dirk. GTA5 finally hit some threes and played some nice defense. Clarkson with another solid game off the bench. He's earned minutes in the rotation.

Mikal continues to struggle shooting but I thought he played well everywhere else. He just needs to keep playing. Slumps happen and he'll snap out of it.

And for some of you who are even hinting that we are better without Brunson, CUT THE CRAP! We'd be a play-in team without him! Some of you are so short sighted!
