OKC got blown out by BOS. Wolves one game up on OKC. Beat DEN one more time than we have a good chance staying in first.

48 points is the largest margin of victory in a very long time right?

Really liked the effort from the third unit, tonight. I’ve been critical in the past, so nice to see them bringing energy!

I feel for the Raps forum right now. They're going through what we went through 2009-11.

Luka really is an offensive machine.

Efficient! And better than the guy Toronto started at center.

Chris Finch said "Taking care of Business" in his post game interview.

Monte Morris had a great line tonight!

25 MIN, 5-8 FG, 3-5 3P, 4 RB, 5 AST, 1 STL, 2 BLK, 0 TO, 13 PTS

That’s a hard working man. Hope we can afford him next year!

Be honest. Are you Finch’s burner account?

By far my favorite Luka. In 2nd place is the Luka in the Suzanne Vega song.


I like it! Great song.

I think we beat Chicago by 50 or so in 2001. That's a long time indeed.

I can't imagine we'll have any trouble signing him. He loves it here and has found a home. He won't command a fortune.

AAAARRRROOOOOOOOO!!

I love to see those stats sheet by Naz and Morris: during the playoffs the contribution of the second unit is fundamental and this gives me hope.

I still can't believe we are living a season like this!!!
"...I want to compliment him, we all expected that he would take up the game, we have prepared the plan race on him, we have doubled. And, as usual, he did what he wanted..."

If only we could have done that this year. Heck, I am not greedy, I would take two wins equaling 50. Or even 20. As long as it was two wins ;)

Those two CHI losses definitely hurts. We would be in great shape to finish first if not for them. Thanks to the Lizards, we now have the second best point differential in the league behind BOS. Our "points given up" lead is back to 2 pts ahead of NYK
