That is amazing win

Not nearly as many comments when there’s a good win. I swear a certain portion of the “fanbase” only comes on X to keyboard bash the team after a loss

Team dub. Played great basketball on fundamentals and didn’t get distracted by the 3s by Bucks in the first 3 quarters. Great hustle plays by Scottie and Santi. Rest up and get ready tomorrow.

Is it just me or does the team play more unified and is more productive without Ja in the line up?
