[Nikolokolus]

Yea, Outlaw has ONLY been playing for 6 seasons as a pro. Give him 12 and we might have our 2nd option!

He's got unlimted upside.

 

[Darkwebs]

Caron Butler or Gerald Wallace for xmas, please KP.

I think KP might wait until near the trade deadline to pull the trigger on any deals. He probably wants as much time as possible to evaluate our players and how they mesh with one another. Also, as the trade deadline approaches, Raef's contract may become more and more valuable.

 

[Kaydow]

I keep trying to remind myself how incredibly young this team is, but damn these growing pains over the next couple of years are going to be painful to watch at times.

You said it. These guys make my stomach turn at times, even when they win.

 

[MARIS61]

and gave it immediately back...

Roy came in, took the ball out of Sergio's hands, and then we gave some points back, Sergio left for Blake and we gave more points back, then eventually due to TO mostly we got it back.

 

[craigehlo]

This is Roy's team. If he doesn't find a way to be effective in the 2nd half either by scoring or passing, we are done.

His passing has been terrible though so I'm not too encouraged.

 

[craigehlo]

Nene owns Oden

 

[Darkwebs]

Oh my god! Oden fouls again?

 

[santeesioux]

That was fast.

 

[Darkwebs]

great shot by Blake, then the steal. Terrific!

 

[craigehlo]

Batum needs to sit. I'm not a big Martell fan, but he can't come back fast enough.

 

[HOWIE]

This is going to be another grind it out game

 

[santeesioux]

These nitpicking refs just don't let Oden get into his groove, if he even looks at a guy wrong, it's a foul.

 

[Darkwebs]

We're lucky Martin missed 2 FTs. Now Aldridge is earning FTs. Woo hoo!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Batum with the Jarret Jack special.

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum is making some rookie mistakes.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Oden needs to go back to the bench. He was doing a lot better against the opponent's second team.

 

[santeesioux]

Oh SHit

 

[Darkwebs]

Maybe that knock on the head will get Roy going. It worked for Outlaw last season, I believe.

 

[blue32]

Seriously, we are playing like a bunch of fucking school girls....Jesus christ....where is our toughness?

on the bench due to refs blowing their whistles

 

[Kaydow]

Yeah, that's the problem . . . the refs.

He's out of position. He doesn't move his feet. And he goes for every block.

THAT's why he gets in foul trouble.

 

[santeesioux]

on the bench due to refs blowing their whistles

[video=youtube;sUVfDvIP2EQ]

Sorry, had to.

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy got mad. Spin move and the lay in. Heck yeah!

 

[Darkwebs]

We need to learn how to draw FTs like our opponents.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nicolas. For fuck's sake.

 

[Kaydow]

Is this the varsity or JV??

 

[craigehlo]

Blake 2 turnovers and a foul the last couple possessions. Is he still on the Nuggs payroll?

 

[Darkwebs]

Wild sequence that ends with a rookie turning it over. Ugh.

 

[craigehlo]

We need to learn how to draw FTs like our opponents.

If that's a skill that can be learned, Nate can't teach it.

 

[Darkwebs]

Travis, baby!
