Spo now tied for seventh in playoff wins with Sloan. Ahead of him are Auerbach, Brown, Rivers, Pop, Riley, and Jackson. Think of the wealth of great players those coaches had - some of the greatest names in the history of the NBA.
Great win! Just overshadowed by stupid injuries. After Tyler, its Dipo...and possibly (not hoping) Jimmy maybe out next game. Next man up. Injuries happening every where. But part of basketball. Just takes out a lot, very deflating 😥😔
Our A plus team showed up on this night . After tonight I believe we put some gear in the deer. Were they taking us for real.A shame about Dipo.his last drive to the basket before being injured was lightening quick.Gabe is such a difference maker even when his shots are not falling he gives it all.Love is another one that does all of the little things that count.
Dipo showcased super athleticism ability with crazy on ball defense and D-Wade prime style explosive drives. Sadly ala D-Rose his body can’t handle that many explosive tweaks :(
Six players in double figures. Well rounded attack. Hope for the best for Dipo. Hope Butler is okay for next game, but if not, resting him isn’t terrible.
I guess this is a lesson for our league respected coach that you actually can win starting 2 g leaguers and playing Duncan. (We need a sarcasm font here! 😂)
Crowder getting very little run with Giannis hurt is kind of a confusing coaching decision. Especially when you see them killing Miami on the board with big lineup. Keep it up Mike.

Other than the potentially devastating news about Dipo, a totally exhilarating payback victory!
So sad for Dipo
