Great win. Some guys really stepped up. 6-1 at home is huge.

This is the bottom line. The team has talent and we r winning games, it's really that simple.

I wouldn't says he is abusing thes epgs. rose has had issues with defense and passing as well

Nah Rose is playing well against TOP PG's as he has his entire career. He's not perfect but would you prefer Jose? LOL

I have given Rose credit lately but its not like he has been 2012 Rose. He has made some big shots the last couple games so he deserves props for that though

Like I was saying.

Lets see if he can continue it consistently

WHAT??? Rose has been playing better as he got comfortable! WTF have you been watching?
Calm down and breathe. I meant being a closer. I have praised Rose the last week or so.

There is no way in hell, even if we were in this game, that we would be able to close it out last year. Charlotte was playing their best game; they were at 100% efficiency and we still beat them. Took their biggest blows an fought back. We finally have a pg in DROSE that could break down a defense and take over a game, and also hold his own defensively. Last year, Jose was getting eaten alive out there, especially down the stretch. Our squad looks legit!

Agreed on all counts

Plus he wasn't exactly given many good looks. He is still our best overall player IMO. We don't win without him most of the time

They were doubling him in the post and he had foul trouble. We don't win this game without Rose or Melo either. It's TEAM

They don't win without Melo. Nice to have two guys that coaches are focusing. Exciting to hear that Clifford said teams can't just focus on Melo they have to plan for KP as well.

Team is starting to click, we're really fortunate that we're winning without having to worry about Noah's health. Nice luxury to have right now.

Difference is:

1) legit PG play that could break down a defense and defend (biggest deficiency last year)
2) KP becoming a superstar right before our eyes on both ends of court.
3) Coaching is WAY MUCH BETTER! We could now win close games now and out execute teams.

He has been a closer the last two games. He did miss training camp.

No **** its about the TEAM. I praised Rose and Melo too. However defense wins and KP provided it bigtime with foul trouble

This. Tomorrow will be a really big test. Charlotte has a great home court. Hopefully Nalod can out cheer all of those Hornet fans.

Yes I know. Again I'm not bashing the guy...I have given him props lately. I just get pissed when I get accused of "not watching" or "being a hater" just because I point out a mistake/issue

Melo also had three assists in the last 3min of regulation and OT - including the huge one to KP for 3 that kept them in it and set up Melo's game winner. That was some vintage Dad Melo 4th quartering and OTing.

Also, Rose is really blossoming in his role here. And bonding with Melo. He and Melo had a serious man hug after the win.

Kudos to baby Willy too! Came in late in the 4th and made some big layups under the basket. He is slowly usurping Noah at Center down the stretch.
