    Dmo just looks so much better than Tjones out on the court. He has a more natural feel to the game.

    Indeed. We need to play with desperation.

    Yup, he is not tall enough to effect his shot and Young knows it.

    Mchale is horrible at recognizing when playing 2 point guards is a bad idea.

    Brewer should have been put in and told to shut Young down.

    The only good news is that the team can't play much worse than this and they're only down four points. Also Lin looks like he doesn't care. He's making zero effort on D.

    he's making contested jumpers over him. People need to understand the difference between bad defense and good offense.

    Nick Young can just rise up and get his shot on Lin. The guy is 6' 7" SF.

    It is tough to run when the opposition keeps putting the ball in the basket.

    Brewer didn't seem to do much when he was on Mchale pulled him out pretty quick.

    Why does Lin position body sideways playing defense? The guy he's guarding just goes by him on his right side every time. There is no rim protector so it makes no sense to let the guy take it to the rim.

    Dmo looks better defensively tonight and is actually setting good screens on offense

    Okay fair enough it's a mismatch, but then coach needs to put someone else on young.

    Lin's one of the best people out there right now. Despite not being considered one of the top 3 players on this team, y'all seem to crutch on him a lot.
