Winning in regulation would help. We've had 3 of our 7 games go to OT.

Function of playing the Celts tonight.
With Garland back, I think those mins go down immediately against lesser opponents. Cavs should be able to Cavalanche and sustain leads without him.

Haven't even blown teams out yet...just the Bulls
This team at its peak will be running some teams out the building

What part about DG’s absence don’t you understand?
Felt like a playoff win tonight - what an intensity great game.
Despite being 11-39 (28% from downtown), shooting 42% from the field, our bench scored only 16 points, our defense and intensity stepped up again in the 2nd half especially the 3rd quarter.
Levert was 1-5 from 2, made 3 huge 3s, played 46 hard minutes tonight guarding Tatum and Brown. The defense he played tonight was really good in my opinion.
What hurt us in the 1st half was Mobley picked up his 3rd foul in 7 minutes of play, Boston was able to get easy buckets. Our intensity wasn’t there and they had wide open 3s. In the second half Mobley was there on both sides of the floor, contesting shots, rolling, hitting those nice hook shots, and aggressive on the boards.
Donovan started out 4-14 from the field and then hit 7-13. Some of the shots he hit was impressive and was well needed when we required a bucket. Loved his defensive intensity in that late 4th/OT against Tatum in some stretches. He knew some plays when it was switched on Garland to guard Tatum but Donovan immediately recognized to switch right away and guarded Tatum to force not one but 2 bad shots.
It wasn’t a good night from the bench scoring. The bench with Cedi, Wade, and Love combined 0-11 from 3. Normally that is a loss but we still find ways to win. This team is deep, full of heart, and will find ways to win. Not Dean Wade’s best night offensively but he was able to contain defensively.
And finally welcome back DG! It felt so good to have a true PG back making it easy for Mobley and Allen to find open shots underneath. That area was missing when DG was gone. Loved the alley-pop from DG to Spida! There’s going to be so much more of this as the season goes on. 3 steals in that first half was great. 12 dimes tonight and Garland and Donovan are still learning together. One day Donovan will pass to Garland on that last play of the 4th quarter. With Donovan and Garland hitting those 3s at ease, it makes the team so much easier.
This team is very talented and is still not at its peak. That is the scary part of this team.
6-1, win on national TV, we are dangerous.
