A whole lot to NOT like about that one. But take the win, move on. No such thing as a bad win.

Crazy last minute. Ashworth gave it away but somehow caught an all time good bank. One of the most ridiculous W’s ever.

Especially on the road. Especially with the gauntlet they face these next 5 (now 4) games

2nd play of the game. Great sub by Mac. Then put Green to throw in the ball at the end

And you KNOW that 99.9% of Jays nation was screaming at the tv asking why in the world he would put Miller in for the first time all day in that crucial situation. And then, again …

These guys really all seem to have bought into Mac’s mantra of having to be ready whenever your number gets called.

Sometimes you win a lucky one, that was one of those times. I think we deserved that blown timeout call because of how much we had been hosed by the refs, from the lousy 2nd foul on Ashworth to the flops and many uncalled push-offs and body contact. Just a bad officiated game that affected both teams in many ways. Need to play much better to leave Providence with a win on Wednesday. Couldnt hit free throws or threes and had many bad turnovers but still somehow won.

At the end of the year, it's a W in the win/loss column. Won't matter how it got there, so we'll take it.
Would have been a interesting stat if our # of turnovers exceeded our 3 point percentage. We weren't far off!
