[Titan]

Refs taking over this game

 

[VenomXL]

Yet another foul.

 

[illmatic99]

Roco has to hit these wide open wing threes.

 

[Cugel]

Get Giles in there

 

[VenomXL]

Couple of BIG threes by Melo to end the half.

 

[LayneStaley]

Man I don’t get Stotts substitutions.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Melo as the catch and shoot guy is good. Do that.

 

[B-Roy]

Melos best asset is as a spot up shooter.

 

[Tince]

Despite giving up 6 FTs in the last 2 minutes, we're lucky to be up double digits.

 

[illmatic99]

This is all Melo should be doing. Catch and shoots all day.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Why is kanter and nurk out??

Nurk had 3 fouls.

 

[bobf]

Melo should only be taking 3’s and at he rim.

 

[riverman]

We kept them from getting 70 at halftime....I like our chances!

 

[Chris Craig]

Melos best asset is as a spot up shooter.

That is the Melo I want to see. Not ISO mello

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Couple of BIG threes by Melo to end the half.

That's his best usage; most efficient and doesn't mess up the offensive flow.

 

[Chris Craig]

Have we heard anything on Hood

 

[riverman]

Melo is going to help us win some games this season...good to seem him find a groove tonight shooting. CJ is ballin' out!

 

[bobf]

Jesus Stotts don’t be so freakin conservative. Play Giles. Free Harry. Whatever you want us to call it. Just put him in for God sake. He doesn’t have cooties.

 

[riverman]

Have we heard anything on Hood

what happened to Hood?

 

[PCmor7]

I don't know what Stotts is thinking leaving Jones in there with 3 fouls. Then again, I don't know what Jones was thinking with 2 fouls doing what he did to get 3 and 4.

Ant really needs to have confidence in his handle to take 2 or 3 penetrating dribbles, if only to get the defense to rotate and maybe open up someone else. He gets the ball on the wing and he's either shooting it or holding it for 4 seconds and passing it back around the perimeter.

 

[James lamphear]

What I see on defense we not very good individual defender and there no rim protection at all. But we doing better challenging the outside shot but without a guy that can rotate to covered the rim when our center on the premieter it's not good. Really the only one shooting ball well is CJ.

[James lamphear]

Dame was in with Melo. Why you need Melo to score? He’s one of the bad defenders surrounding better players.

You need more one shooter when Dame getting double team.

 

[Chris Craig]

what happened to Hood?

Apparently he got hurt

 

[James lamphear]

Roco has to hit these wide open wing threes.

He pretty streaky shooter.

 

[riverman]

Apparently he got hurt

crap

 

[Haakzilla]

Apparently he got hurt

...need more details ASAP

 

[Chris Craig]

crap

He left in the second quarter. Wasn't on the bench

@B-Roy said he left in an emergency substitution

 

[DUB]

Dame with a good all round game - 13/4/7

 

[Tince]

Jesus Stotts don’t be so freakin conservative. Play Giles. Free Harry. Whatever you want us to call it. Just put him in for God sake. He doesn’t have cooties.

Nobody loves the players on the end of their bench like us Blazer fans.
