Not to bitch, but we get no calls for contact and they get them automatically.
 
Gee, the big line-up without Miller is actually on an offensive run. What a surprise!
 
Someone has to step on the sideline at least once a game. The ghost of Jarret Jack.
 
I'm loving Batum on the boards. Let's get the lead heading into the half guys!
 
Well, that was lame. Oh well, I'll take a one point deficit.
 
ROFLMAO at the timeout to set up the play before halftime. Nate is a fucking joke.
 
Roy gets hammered. Still, what a comeback. Seemed like a lost cause about 20 minutes ago.

I don't believe that. I think it's all mental though, and whether he can commit to making those adjustments.

Brandon's strength has always been his ability to create shots for himself with his dribble, with the shape his knees are in he can't do that anymore ... and turning himself into a classic, catch-and-shoot wing isn't as easy as you make it sound, it takes years of practice for a player to become NBA proficient at a skill, and with practice time at such a premium during the regular season those kinds of adjustments aren't likely to materialize unless he puts in lots and lots of reps in the off-season.

He had a 20-second timeout that he couldn't carry to the second half. May as well use it. :dunno:

Obviously, but I was making point that the play he drew up is the same fucking play every time he calls a timeout. It's a Roy iso. It's garbage and ineffective.

He looked pretty good against Phoenix. Successfully scored at the rim three times and got to the rim even motor draw 9 free throws. He lights up when Miller is gone. He hasn't lost it all.

He's hit three or four shots at the end of quarters this season.

Against the worst defensive team in the league ... I'm not saying we won't see flashes from time to time of the old Roy, but his days as an every-game superstar are behind him and that's a huge problem for a team that is pretty much built around him being a dominant isolation scorer and facilitator.
 
*yawn*

You know this pace wont maintain with Nate at the helm.
 
Matthews is all over the court tonight.

And ... great pass by Miller!
 
Fucking hell guys, I knew that was going to happen.
 
He sure wasn't set very well on that charge.
 
Man I've got such a mancrush on Wesley.
