Games not over yet.

Nates paranoia games? WTF?

Being paranoid is good. You don't want to assume you have the game with 5 minutes to go unless you're up 30.

5 games is seven nights, whatever

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nobody broke 35 minutes. All good.

 

[TripTango]

Can we take a bottle of distilled Rose Garden with us on the next road trip? I really like this home team.

Big leads get blown. Not on Nate's watch though. This is a good thing. The Pippen/Sheed Blazers and Drexler/Porter Blazers blew huge leads a lot. So frustrating. Not Nate's guys. Be happy.

I like that @OKC team, as well.

or try to build a little confidence in your younger guys, and that can pay big dividends later on

First win scoring under 100?

 

[RoyToy]

No one wants to watch you shoot Batum

Pass it to EWill

 

[TripTango]

Yes, but the other @ games have been pretty foul...

 

[Nikolokolus]

Chris Johnson could foul out ... that would be something to see.

They're getting to play. Just not as quick as you like. And they got plenty of time in Phoenix.

you don't get it, that's ok

 

[magnifier661]

Nice ugly win. We better clear shit up though

 

[KingSpeed]

Good win. 5-0 at home. 6-2. I expect us to win the next two. Then the season begins.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Damn you Nic!!!!! You just denied people a gastronomical delight for something as crummy as sportsmanship!! LOL

 

[magnifier661]

Marcus is funny!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We'll come out in the second half and put these fucks away by 20!

It's like I had a crystal ball.

 

[Nikolokolus]

So ... Eliot Williams/Nolan Smith vs. Crawford. Who you got by game 30?

 

[julius]

Felton and Crawford combined for 3 of 19.

 

[BlazerBeav5]

Just by that post game interview you can really tell how much this team likes playing together. Wallace jokingly throwing the towel over Matthews head and Camby walking by saying he played great tonight. Gotta love it.

 

[KingSpeed]

You don't get it. If you let starters a sigh of relief that early, subs come in, and cut the lead to 10 with three minutes to play, starters maybe have to come back. Then starters are cold. And we possibly lose. I remember us blowing a 24 point home lead and losing to over a Posey-led Grizzlies back in the Pippen days. It was awful. Notice that doesn't happen anymore? Be happy.

 

[magnifier661]

Bump!

 

[RoyToy]

It's really Nolan vs Crawford since someone has to be the backup PG

And Crawford by a mile

 

[crowTrobot]

barring kobe going crazy in last 9 minutes LMA gets his first ESPN top performer

 

[KingSpeed]

So ... Eliot Williams/Nolan Smith vs. Crawford. Who you got by game 30?

Crawford. Guaranteed.

 

[magnifier661]

Felton and Crawford combined for 3 of 19.

Man Felton and his blown layups, and crawfords forced shots. Still like them better than miller and Fernandez. I suspect their game will go close to their averages.
