Great win. But, a pyrrhic one for losing Tyler. Unless Giannis is going to miss a lot of games too, it is hard to envision us beating the Bucks in a series. Still, a lot to be thrilled about, Jimmy was magnificent, and had a lot of solid support. And special kudos for Kevin Love, who turned back the clock to his Minnesota days. We wouldn't have won without him.
Our heaters pulled off a great upset.Jimmy keeps telling us it's playoff time and I just kept saying yeh man blow smoke up someone else's butt.They lost home ct.advantage.Hope that Mr.Hero is going to get well asap.
i did not recognize this team.where has this been all year.this is how me and pat thought the team would be. had to wait about 84 games to see a complete game.keep it up boys
Great nice game
