    Man those Raptor announcers love Voskul for some reason. Um, he has 0 points, 3 fouls, and suddenly he is a defensive god. "Look at that box out! Look at that box out!" Uh, yeah, boxing out is pretty fundamental. Like, "Look at that layup! Look at that layup!"

    I have a feeling we won't see Tmac in the second half, he looked to me like he was laboring out there because of his knee.

    Because we know if they keep playing like this they won't be in the playoffs.

    And this really makes you think how good/bad this coach is.

    T-mac needs to sit till he gets better. The uncertainty about whether he's gonna play is messing up the chemistry.

    I say let brooks and wafer get more pt so they can develop a bit. If t-mac can get better, then let him come back

    That is exactly what i was yelling at the TV during the first half. I am ashamed to be a fan of this lifeless team right now. Lifeless and playing with no idea of what they want to do.
    If the second half is this bad, i think i may vomit while watching it.

    Let Tmac come off the bench. Start Artest.

    It must be the weather for T-mac's poor play...

    Well, to be fair, I think it is mainly because of our poor 3 point shooting. Yao was always doubled after that.

    Les can easily ask coach to move Aaroin Brooks into the starting lineup in the place for T-Mac. It will be much more cheaper and I am sure Brooks can do the same things TMac does.

    If Tracy does not have it, Coach should take him out. Tracy was just moving slowly on the court. You can't play 4 on 5.

    Rick adelman is the type of coach who trusts his players too much. I would say we are a below average basketball iq team. We don't have smart enough players to make good plays on a consistent level. It is the coach's responsibility to tell the players where to go, and how to run sets.

    Agreed. And Brooks can do better than TMac does.

    You know, one player's play can also affect others' play, especially if this player gets paid more than $20M a year.

    One idiot announcer used to do the Memphis Grizzlies games. He has always been annoying(Mike Delvin).

    If we lose tonight, I don't see any chance that we can take a win on this road trip.
