    "Overall, Durant scored 32 points on 12-for-18 shooting "

    Laughs before he leaves seeing the idiotic banter continue in Clutch forums among the elite dummies calling the shots on who we should keep and praise after every loss.

    Battier is the goodest for holding Durant to 32
    Yao is gonna bounce back dont trade him
    Tmac has no trade value
    Amare Stoudemire is not a Superstar
    We dont need Carmello


    The idiocy. Oh the idiocy. Cant take all of that apparent high level of brain power in here.

    This basically sums what my opinion of Bud has always been. When his shot is on, he is useful as a reserve. Otherwise he is worthless.

    I laughed last year when people said they wanted him to start this season over Shane. I had a feeling he might hit the wall, though not this hard. Bud has to decide how much work he is willing to put in to get better. My guess is not much. Maybe these struggles will teach him a lesson about dedication.

    My sentiment as well. Nothing new at all. Just a media person took the time to watch the games and meticulously break a matchup down to validate what people here have seen.

    Say what we will about Rosen, he's not gonna cheat anyone short on his basketball opinions. So its decent supporting 3rd person perspective

    And the interior D also. This was posted before the Yao news, I'm just now seeing it. :confused:

    Scratch THAT plan for post defense!

    Now poor Budinger has to work on an island. Knew Budinger has had his struggles, but its alarming how bad the struggles are giving it a closer look.

    It did not indicate how Budinger played against his 2ND STRING counterpart, though. Or if anyone mentioned it, I havent read all the thread yet to know.

    People may not agree with me but I feel that Chase's defense has led (more so than others) to a lot of our losses this year. Last year when he was hitting his shots he wasn't as exposed but this year, especially in a lot of the tight games we've been in, opposing teams have gone on big offensive surges when he has entered the game late in the first/early second and late third/early fourth quarters. Not saying he is the sole cause because we've also had a lot of power forwards go off against us that could hit the 20 footer early in the season but his man has always gone off and if it wasn't his man, it was usually poor rotations, poor challenges or poor boxing out that led to bench scrubs exploiting our second unit. Our starters would come back in and usually have a big hole to climb out of when our starting unit is already usually outmatched. I'm down on Chase and certainly glad we made the acquisition in Terrance Williams. For anybody to say "Hey, look what he did against Sacramento" keyword is "Sacramento."

    Good write up by Rosen.
