WTF is this.

 

[Scalma]

If Meyers doesn’t play tonight he’s definitely getting traded soon.

 

[Jade Falcon]

You get a turnover....you get a turnover....YOU ALL GET A TURNOVER!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Mo needs to spend some time sitting down and thinking about his game for a bit...

You know that will ruin his fragile psyche

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Is anyone getting tired of Holdahl's constant criticism of the team? It's like I am listening to someone from the forum read their posts on the air.

It's annoying and taking me out of the game.

What do you want him to say? We're not playing very well.

 

[BonesJones]

Box out Ed... why the hell did you run to the front of the rim? Box the fuck out.

These past 3 halves, we've failed on simple fundamentals, such as boxing out, not fouling a jumpshooter, etc.

It's pathetic. That's stuff you get pulled out of High School games for. That's stuff that you learn in Elementary School.

That's what's frustrating with the team. They can get a great win at OKC without Dame, and then they get too jaded and lose focus, thus not being able to execute even the simplest of fundamentals.

Our defense is also back to last years levels recently. This team can't focus on both sides of the ball. It's either/or. It's rather pathetic.

 

[Shaboid]

Wow, just started watching. We are getting smoked!

 

[rotary111]

One of Bazz or Dame should be in at all times.

 

[BonesJones]

Yay, pull-up mid-range jumper.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

What do you want him to say? We're not playing very well.

It's been every game on this road trip. He doesn't say anything positive even when someone does something good.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, just started watching. We are getting smoked!

And it's not even legal in Louisiana!

 

[illmatic99]

How does this team go from that gem of a performance in OKC to this shit?

 

[BonesJones]

@KingSpeed So this game was going to be easy huh? Then why are we already down 16?

 

[BonesJones]

How does this team go from that gem of a performance in OKC to this shit?

Because they can't consistently execute the fundamentals. It's why I don't like Stotts.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame+Nurk pick n' roll is the only good thing about this game.

 

[BonesJones]

That's a goaltend wtf

 

[illmatic99]

Dame looks totally useless right now. I don't know what game Hurd is watching

 

[riverman]

Block and dunk by PC was awesome!

 

[BrianFromWA]

damn, Chief needed to give that up about 4 different times

 

[SlyPokerDog]

It's been every game on this road trip. He doesn't say anything positive even when someone does something good.

This is probably therapy for him. He's never allowed to write anything negative about the team, Olshey always give the scoops to Woj. And he's doing his best to tank the radio broadcast so they don't try and replace Wheels.

 

[BonesJones]

Holiday is fucking killing us.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Good play and good rebound Pat !

Fuck dame is off tonight

 

[illmatic99]

Come on Damian. Make a fucking shot. You're WIDE OPEN

 

[BonesJones]

C'mon Dame

 

[illmatic99]

FINALLY

 

[SIeepwalker]

Fuck dame is off tonight

Right on cue !!

 

[SIeepwalker]

Damn Chief

 

[BrianFromWA]

@KingSpeed So this game was going to be easy huh? Then why are we already down 16?

Obviously you're not well-acquainted with Eric's friend JinxSpeed. Sometimes he takes over the account.

Best explanation it seems I am going to get.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame is short-arming.

When he's off, this is usually the problem.. he doesn't follow through all the way.

Right when I was typing it, he followed through all the way and hit the shot.
