Game 18 | Nuggets @ Cavs | Wednesday, December 4, 2013 | 7:00 PM ET

But the nitpicking made no sense.

They're a mediocre team. So? We were 5-12. Getting wins against any team is an improvement. I'll worry about beating "good" teams some other time.

Then, it was a back to back. Well we've probably had the most back-to-backs this season so far and I don't remember anyone using that as an excuse?

And besides, they were on a 9 game win streak.

im happy but fuck...if this team had even a decent SF!!! shit wouldnt have to run that 3 guard shit, no gee at the end

probably not possible but if we could put luol deng on this team without losing too much...i dunno

Shouldn't that account be called "FauxMikeBrown"?

Not holding my breath, but these last two games, something different is going on with the offense. Something better.
Also, holy cow, our bigs dominated, absolutely dominated tonight.

Bynum, Thompson, Varejao:
41 rebounds, 16 offensive rebounds, 7 blocks, 49 points, +14 +/-

compared to

Faried (only 4 rebounds!!), Hickson, Mozgov:
18 rebounds, 9 offensive rebounds, 2 blocks, 30 points, -16 +/-

Our bigs were two offensive rebounds away from matching their total...
Thompson and Varejao played with fire, and were abusing them on the glass! Bynum these past two games has been looking a lot more aggressive on his post moves and maneuverability. Some of his shots haven't been falling still, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing out of him. Better body language too.

It Is called what I been saying Brown runs a Inside out half court Offense where the Bigs can blossom. Not like SA but alike the Guards are there to be ready for a spot up three. Exception Is Kyrie who like Parker often dribbles and runs Into to much traffic but he has to pass out better and he has the past few games. This Is why Waiters off the bench makes sense. Not saying Brown Is even on the same level as pop. But playing with good bigs Is something the guards need to learn better. I saw Dion and sometimes Kyrie buying In and even jack, Bynum frees up TT more If the guards play Into the system and play and you saw that tonight. TT seems to finally learned how to play with AV and Bynum and It was amazing to watch.

First time this season where I've actually enjoyed the game.

 

[Green Lantern]

This was a nice win..first back to back wins this season.

 

[The Oi]

The biggest news of the night was that anyone acknowledged Huber.

Two great wins against two very good teams, especially with Denver being on a hot streak right now (was).
