ksun247 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 That was a hard fought game. Should have never went to OT, but a win is a win. On to the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The one downside is that overtime is less than ideal on the front end of a road back to back. They have another game essentially on the same day that this one ended. I'm anticipating a lot of shots falling short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Then get back after it in Minn. Edited March 11, 2017 by STBonecrusher21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 My temptation is to be frustrated that we're having to claw for wins over weak teams recently but then I remember that Boston lost to one of those same teams tonight, and to another a few nights ago. Lo and behold, those narrow wins over weak western teams are why we're now the #2 seed, and breathing down Cleveland's neck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even harder on these 4 in 5 road trips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I could swear I saw a thing on ESPN where at 8:27 they were going to talk Wizards. But then they started talking college basketball and haven't shut up about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 A two point win is as good as a 20 point win in the end. Â I'll take them any way they'll come. Â Â Tonight's game is the Greek God of schedule losses. Â If we win, we're playing with house money. Â But it's going to be real difficult to win if we don't play better defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Feels a little crazy that Wall is already passing these guys on scoring lists. Â It doesn't seem like he's already been here 7 years at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 One more thing, March marks the beginnings of silly season in the NBA.  A lot of times the teams that are "tanking" actually start stealing games off good teams because they put their young players in and they start playing hard against exhausted line ups.  They play lose and without any pressure.  And the good teams are trying to eke out wins and rest their guys as much as they can and are basically holding out for the playoffs.  Back when we sucked, we were always good for like a 6 win run during the final stretch which ruined our lottery position.  Point being, we can't take these end of season wins against teams way under .500 for granted.  Probably going to be a battle in almost every single game from here on out.

Going Commando Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Moving into the two seed (even if it's only for a day) has got me rethinking the possibilities for the season.  The one seed is legitimately within our reach.  LeBron's teams have an odd tendency of ending up in the two seed during the regular season.  I think we need to push as hard as we can for the one seed.  We control our own fate if we get it.  We won't face Cleveland in the second round.  Home court all of the way.  We'd have a real shot at the Finals.

Going Commando Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Minnesota has the best defensive rating since the AS break. Â They've been playing like a playoff club recently. Â These next two are going to be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
