    I'm cheering extra hard for a blowout, too. Flight White is going through maintenance and will be ready for lift off soon

    They know fronting will only slow down Yao but not the others.

    Fronting also tires their big men. It makes sense.

    Look for them to front in the 2nd half.

    It would be nice to see a James White highlight dunk today.

    does Grizzle lose the hope for post-season?

    36% vs 26% isn't exactly "supposedly," it's just a fact. brooks is also a better overall scorer. lowry is damn good at passing and finding people. lowry runs well with the second unit, leave him there. brooks scoring is nice with the first unit, especially playing off yao and using yao's picks. plus, we've been looking for continuity all season long. now is not when you change the starting lineup for fairly similarly-skilled players and create another distraction.

    I thought Yao blocked more than 3 times. Well, it's just how they record his blocks anyway.

    both losses were at the Grizz and I believe Violet Palmer were one of the refs in 2 of those games.

    They had a different coach then, It seems like this guy prefers less physical play.

    Main reason why we lost to them in the last 2 games, because they were much tougher than us.

    I thought this game would be much closer, but they look soft out there. Marc Gasol is still aggressive but only on offense.

    Griz are probably tanking, and doesn't want to win. The owner probably told the coach to lose.

    nowadays we effectively reduce our turnover and that's one of huge improvements

    He doesn't know how to fully utilize his speed yet, once his lane is cut off, he has difficulty figuring out what to do next. That's why his 2 pt efficiency isn't that high, in fact, his 2pt percentage is lower than 3 pointers.
