This is going to be a long night...

Crash needs to cash in those open corner 3s.

Or drive the baseline.

 

[RoyToy]

Grab a fucking rebound Aldridge

God damn

 

[illmatic99]

Thomas was useless. Bring Batum in.

Aldridge has 0 rebounds. WTF man. Get on it.

Grab a fucking rebound Aldridge

God damn

I love Aldridge, he's my favorite player; but leaders step their game up where their team needs them. The lose of Camby means Aldridge needs to focus on rebounding.

 

[magnifier661]

Batum finally

 

[B-Roy]

We're lucky they're bricking open threes too.

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum is finally in.

 

[magnifier661]

We're lucky they're bricking open threes too.

We would have been down by a big margin

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge is playing like garbage

 

[B-Roy]

Wow, I'm going to be perfectly honest.

We suck right now. Like, REALLY suck.

 

[magnifier661]

Aldridge is playing like garbage

Yes he is. I've noticed that about him on a b2b. You would think this is when he should do much better. He isn't boxing out, not even trying to rebound. It's really pissing me off.

 

[magnifier661]

Wow, I'm going to be perfectly honest.

Awful and I'm usually very optimistic. We need a second wind or something. Lagging bad!

 

[Darkwebs]

Jamal hits his first shot, baby!

 

[DUB]

We've never been good at boxing out in recent seasons, and I don't understand why.

Camby being out is really highlighting this.

 

[magnifier661]

Difference between Wallace and Batum is Batum can hit that corner three

 

[Darkwebs]

Everything Lowry throws up is going in. WTF?

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum is deadly from corner 3. Love it

 

[DUB]

Maybe Nic's outside shooting can make up for Camby's rebounding.

 

[B-Roy]

No defensive pressure, but at least the bench is making shots.

 

[magnifier661]

I wanna see Wallace playing PF and Aldridge at center and Batum playing SF. Hope that gets some burn

 

[Darkwebs]

LMA is having the opposite start of last night's game

Hopefully a better finish? (crossing my fingers)

Hey Aldridge

Those continuous 20ft shots are cute

 

[B-Roy]

Hey Aldridge

He didn't want to take those shots. He wanted to pass to Nolan last time who ran down the baseline and ignored him for some reason.

 

[illmatic99]

Someone needs to introduce Nate and Aldridge to tapes of Amare.

He never rolls!

Yes, but it's partially because his screens SUCK ASS.

I don't even know if you can call it a screen.

 

[illmatic99]

One pace to getting out rebounded 56 to 12. Wow.

 

[RoyToy]

Craig Smith is a good player

 

[VenomXL]

Nice block Nic.
