[Scalma]

He seems a little slow mentally tonight.

yeah really slow..

 

[Scalma]

This forum is mentally slow when it comes to Nurk.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Boston seems kind of lackadaisical, don't they?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Woof. This is Boston WITH their stars? We have an excuse for our record.

[BlazerBeav]

It's on the alternate Root station.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

what is Nurk doing?

 

[illmatic99]

timeout is two possessions late. again

 

[BlazerBeav]

timeout is two possessions late. again

Yeah, the momentum had clearly shifted. Gotta be better with that.

Now we are screwing around!

 

[James lamphear]

Sometimes we go into fazes that we just don't play good basketball and when that starting to Billups need to call timeout before it's get out hand.

 

[DUB]

Nurk is pissed with the refs. Talking to them when he got hit instead of getting back on defence, shaking his head when Ant didn’t get the and one, throwing his arms up when Boston gets a soft call. He really needs to not let it bother him so much, and focus on the things he can control.

 

[Cugel]

CJ really hates passing.

 

[BlazerBeav]

17-2 run. Not great.

 

[twobullz]

17-2 run. Not great.

27-7 run now really not good.

 

[illmatic99]

this is 100% on chauncey not realizing when to take timeouts to stop runs

 

[Cugel]

Zero defense. 20 2 run?? gtfoh. PASS CJ please!

 

[DUB]

Ant isn’t getting into a good rhythm because he constantly defers to CJ.

 

[THE HCP]

Sometimes we go into fazes that we just don't play good basketball .

Ya, like October - January

 

[illmatic99]

some of these possessions... woof

 

[blazedanugz]

CJ is so selfish man.
If I were him I would be embarrassed…if I was his teammate I would scream at him

 

[OneSport3]

CJ shooting 3-9. This is the old CJ we all know. There is no reason Ant should be deferring to CJ.

 

[DUB]

Only one turnover in the second quarter after six in the first, so it’s good we tightened that up. Our three point shooting has cooled off, but Boston’s has only marginally improved, so we’re still in the game. The first five minutes of the second half will be crucial, we need to come out of the locker room switched on, and ready to play.

 

[Strenuus]

At least he takes timeouts.

 

[Strenuus]

Ant isn’t getting into a good rhythm because he constantly defers to CJ.

This is why ant is gonna be the "best player on a bad team" type of guy.

Trade.

 

[wizenheimer]

giving up a 27-7 is poor strategy

 

[KSF-ERIC]

This is why ant is gonna be the "best player on a bad team" type of guy.

Like Dame, you mean?
