    Sit out as long as he needs. He needs to be healthy in playoff and in long run.

    Yeah, true. Howard just needs to practice on post up game more. Asik and Howard need to reduce turnovers.

    After this game it should be a walk in the park until the SA game.

    So better assistants. But he picked them... I am saying.

    If we can just beat San Anton we could have a nice win streak

    The Hawks aren't pushovers. And the Nets are terrible, but I always worry about those trap games.

    Fair enough, that's exactly why I thought we brought him in, to inspire these players to play his brand of hard-nosed, maximum effort, leave it all out on the floor, team basketball.

    Basically the Memphis Grizzlies on defense, mixed with Morey's offense.

    Well these players sure don't remind me of Kevin McHale.

    Actually sorry. Morey picked 85% of them. McHale gets to pick exactly one of his assistant coaches.

    I don't bash Howard's defense but forcing the ball to him just slows our game which is moving and passing he misses to many shots is not a great passer and turns the ball over

    Dwight is in a unique situation where he's got Shaq crucifying him every week on TNT. Its a combo of Shaq's and Dwight's insecurity. Blake Griffin gets it also to a lesser extent, and so did Amare. I think its just that Dwight has the... uh childish mentality to let it affect his game. Amare wanted to break out of Nash's shadow and prove he was more than just a finisher, but he never let it stop him from getting easy points.

    Kobe was just gonna be Kobe. Much like Harden here. Nash's shot off screen has always been money. Way more efficient than Howard's post up brick or turnover. If Howard's open Nash would feed him period. It's his ego and childish attitude limited his ability in LA.

    If we hadn't blown that 18-point lead against the Mavs, we would've just won our 6th in a row. It shows how good this team could be if they ever learn how to close.

    Lin really didn't play a good 2nd quarter. He played a good 1st and 3rd quarters.

    It looked like a defensive lock down and close tonight. Am I being to optimistic?

    Thank you! I try to keep telling these fools that Harden is a Boss!

    People just know how to use the eye test but unfortunately some of these fools have Glaucoma!

    When this team puts together a string of "complete" games they are going to blow people out. Right now they are mostly farting around.
