    Thank god Martin has snapped out of his haze a bit, because we'd be down 10 otherwise.

    Nobody is untouchable, McHale should tear every single player a new one tonight and the whole team should run laps around Toyota Centre for an hour after the game.

    Valorita, DD, and Leon were right all along: Patterson plays very small for a big guy.

    Greg smith and Thabeet are on our roster, active or not..

    why have Morris and T-Will if you aren't going to play them

    Once again: He didn't play small last season. He played pretty big. He got injured. He hasn't been the same since. He has shown flashes of his athleticism returning, but his confidence lags behind. Eventually he will be playing big again.

    Thabust is injured I think. But I do agree, SMITH SHOULD BE FREED

    Thabeet is not an NBA player, he's a 7'5" stiff. Smith is incredibly raw and fouls every other possession. T-Will is a short SF and Morris is not any bigger than Patterson/Scola.

    We have been getting out-rebounded the last 3 games.

    While Lowry is better in defense and rebounding, J Lin is better in controling the pace of the offence. Our problem in offensive side is PG can't create easily shoot for other players, and others have to jump shot a lot.

    McHale said in an interview that usually when we are getting out-rebounded he throws Hill in, and Hill goes and grabs 8 boards and things are happy again... with Hill injured we are a very weak rebounding squad any time Dalembert is off the floor.

    Unfortunately Smith is not a great rebounder from what I've seen. He doesn't seem to have a good sense of positioning or the right kind of assertiveness on the low block.
