I loved bringing in Early.

Fish has them playing hard.

If Melo was more himself and once Afflalo is back, this team could be very interesting.

seraphin is awful. Selfish POS

Afflalo here tomorrow and I am finally really excited.

Melo was a really mixed bag tonight. Great first half, so many issues with his second half. He is playing MUCH better defense overall which should not go unnoticed.

That said that Melo ISO at the end made me want to gouge my eyes out. That and Calderon on D. Should've done defense/offense sub.

Otherwise can't hate on pulling out the W.

He can't control melo's shot selection especially during games.

Those quick shots like 4 or 5 seconds into the shot clock had me screaming so loud my baby daughter started getting scared.

Melo basically made my baby scared.

not giving up. He played but limited and that is the way it needs to be now. He breaks the offense and has Zero value in the half court sets.

Guys were playing hard for him at the end of last year, too.

A more professional group this year...perhaps more self-motivation, but this has been a scrappy group at times, and I think you have to give the coaching staff some credit.

he won't because that and jose sucks is what he stands on.

If you can't give fisher credit for this team ballin then you are just not being fair and don't get it.

Fisher is also starting to play guys that he trusts more minutes.

He trusts LT and even Lou and Jose because they don't break the offensive sets.

Coaches always have their favorite players who others might not appreciate- Thomas is that guy on this team, although folks seem to be understanding what Fisher sees in his game, so the under appreciation might not continue much longer.

Yeah, and they don't make dumb turnovers. Jose gets beat by almost every PG, but he plays smart and doesn't turn the ball over. Only 9 team turnovers tonight. On the road, against the playoff tested and division champ Raptors... that's pretty good. Also a sign of good coaching to my mind - keeping the turnovers down.
