Swift is the best forward we have. bu gundy refuses to give him any substantial minutes.

Why can't JVG put Head and leave DW in there? Both are shooting well for now, and we need the ball to go inside to Yao so when the defense collapses on him he can dish out for wide-open jumpers.

I don't understand either why Swift is not getting the vast majority of the minutes, because the guy is hustling and playing well.

Derek Anderson should be benched for that stupid ass decision. When are down 4 and have momentum and Yao has good position in the post and calling for the ball, you don't pull up and take stupid shots in those situations.

Of course, Billups hits a three right after that. What a momentum killer that was.

Why did DA try to drive and pull up for a jumper when Yao had sealed his position for like 3 seconds and called for the ball?

And then he compounded the situation by failing to rotate on defense and allowed a wide open 3.

JVG may cut DA tommorow... there's nothing he does out there that looks promising. He isn't even giving full effort in a game that he should be trying to prove himself, since he was demoted to the bench.

DA is just a pathetic player right now.

I don't know about you guys, but Wesley's not half bad running the point tonight.

Beautiful pass by DW! Nice move by Swift!

KEEP THIS F***ING LINEUP IN THE GAME!

I think DW has done a better job at PG than Rafer has ever been, at least he's a steady hand.

Can't we freakin box out? How many points would we be up if we didn't give up all those second chance points?

Because nobody else can come close to guarding Prince... DA can at least put a hand in his face (and have that hand actually reach his face).

wtf, how is it that for the last 2 games we have no problems getting defensive rebounds the whole game until we need stops, then the offensive rebounds just become automatic.

2 straight possessions we could've narrowed the gap and gave them multiple shots, both times letting evans score.

This is by far DW's best game this season. I love his energy tonight! He's been diving for loose balls, sticking to his defender, and running all the fast breaks.
