    Yeah, if we are going to need Nick in the playoffs we need to get him some consistent playing time during the regular season to get him more comfortable. Not sure how much he would be playing the playoffs but you never know.

    You left out outstanding defense on John Wall. His offense will come. Look at how many games its taken Prigioni to get comfortable on offense. This is Nicks first game in ages with consistent minutes.

    I like the way he is able to put up a good shot through contact in the paint. Dat core strength...

    That block was AMAZING! Almost unbelievable. John Wall is lightening fast.

    Terry only played 19 minutes today. McHale wisely limited him with a game tomorrow night. He'll probably do the same when we play Sactown on Wednesday since we have Dallas the next night. Also, by the end of this week we should know for sure what the status of Bev is.

    Not to pile on, but good lord man think before you speak. He looked like a good fit out there. He has some jitters, but honestly in time he might fit like hand in glove. His job at AZ was to be the man, all he needs to do here is feed the Beard and play defense. He did just that today. Prigs had an amazing stat line tonight, did you see him on defense at all? I watched the game and I didn't even see it.

    Give the kid some time and his fruity pebbles will start to jitter and make us all smile. He's a blessing in disguise and he will be valuable.

    The crazy thing is the team is missing key players to the rotation and still find a way to get the Ws. Johnson just needs some PT to get it going on the O side of the court. He will get his chance in the last 9 games remaining in the season. Once healthy this team will be a tough out in the playoffs.

    The thing is, this guy put up numbers Canaan would have, but actually played defense, and people here want to crucify him. Mind you, a lot of these people are the same people who thought Canaan was the second coming of MJ.

    Good game? Lol. You dudes are so damn bias. If Bev put up that same stat line you'd declare the worst pg ever. Nevertheless, Johnson did play good D today. Kudos to the rook

    A 3rd year starting PG held to a different standard than a 4th string rookie who hasn't even played 200 minutes in the NBA? That's crazy talk!
