    I watched John Lucas III in the NBDL, he is lightning bug quick and fearless.....

    I think he may be a starting PG in the NBA someday soon.

    I would not mind having him as the backup 1...his energy level and BB IQ is a lot better than Moochies.

    TMAC not play very well until last 3 min he looked like the best player in the world.

    I dont want to blame Wesley, GS whole team shoot 38%, and we still lost.


    I think it states: they are better team

    I think the issue is: our offense is exceptionally putrid.

    It doesn't say much about the Rockets v. the Warriors. We're missing too many players to evaluate the overall quality of the team. All you can do is evaluate the players who are playing and how the coach adapts. Unfortunately, I don't think these games reflect well on either the players or the coach.

    True, but if were in with a even remote chance when yao returns, i would'nt discount us out.

    Do you faint now? where do you put L. James or B. Kobe? Don't mention the players at other position.

    We lost this competition because he disappeared in the first three quarters, and he shot too much when he's ice cold. He needs to develop his BB IQ and his leadship if he ever wants to be the best player in the league.

    10/28 is not a good shooting percentage and 2 ast is not for a good ball handler who handles the most of possessions. Today is one of his off day, hopefully he will go through soon as Swift develops.

    I agree with you, why not give this young man more minutes in this game, he's very quick and DW cannot defense Davis. Look his second rebound, he ran from the right corner to the left corner to grab it. and he had 2 rebound and 1 ast in less than 1 minute and a half, which is not too bad in the clutch time.

    Tracy is better then Lebron or Kobe. KG or Duncan or probaly the only better players i see infront of him.

    BTW, if it was'nt for tracy, we would have lost by 30. he scored 12 pointss in the last 2 minutes to get us close.

    I went to New Year party, missed the game. Looks Swift played well again. That's really good. How he was doing during the game truly?

    He shot some 35%, if he could shoot all the shoots we had tonight, we still loss this game. What's the point, this is a team game, not a boxing, you have to know how to utilize your teammates you have. Juwan and Stro performed good, but we forgot to use them even more since GSW's inside is not that good.

    Good effort near the end, TMac got 2 pretty good looks. Swift had another good game which is very nice to see, Alston looked pretty good out there as well. I guess this game shows how important it is to hit your FTs.

    You're talking as if Swift or howard were'nt used at all. the point is, the only person who was capeble of getting us back into the game was tracy. he had a bad first 3 quarter,but steppedb up like every player does in the 4th. go look at kob's shooting Field goal in the last quarters. he has the lowest field goal % in the entire league in the 4th quarter. before you hate on tracy, think.

    I was in chat for 1q, but then collapsed to sleep off the flu. Yuck!

    Seems like we were a fouling machine - they had six more shots and six more pts from FT's.

    The diff?

    A few more games and Wes may be playing about 10 less mpg and Head and Lucas might be working the floor more with Rafer. We get faster. DA and Barry come back and we start cutting Rybo's mpg and give Tmac a little more rest - fewer 41 minute games.

    We may actually have some offense. :eek:

    Nice to see Deke hit his shots tonight.

    will we ever have a pg that can actually get assists? well now that i think about it, recipients have to score to complete an assist. what a mess our team is at the moment. i hope lucas picks up the system quickly.

    Yea, and stats tell everything. :rolleyes:

    TMac uses his teammates MUCH better and is not as much a ballhog as Kobe (and TMac has less talent around him right now) and Tmac has learned to put his team on his shoulders in key moments of a game, unlike LeBron (as of now).

    Yes, TMac is above Kobe and LeBron.

    I wouldn't say that T-mac is the best player in the league. But there's no doubt that he's the most unstoppable when he's feeling it. That's why it's so important to have Yao around. He can score and carry us when Tracy is off. Keeping the game close so that when T-mac gets into one of his grooves, the team can pull away, or close out the game.

    You know why yao and tracy complement eachother so well? Yao keeps us in the game for the first 3 quarters and then tracy explodes and takes over the game in the last over get us over the hump....

    Lebron is better, but Kobe is just a ballhog. Looking strictly at stats, Kobe gets more points and turnovers(which is not good). TMAC has better stats in asts, rebs, blocks, fewer turnovers.
