    Thank God for that!

    I still think Brooks will be traded by the deadline. I just hope with whatever roster changes happen, we still end up with the same camaraderie.

    I thought that was her. Good work indeed!

    There are quite more than only a few that want Brooks out, numerous discussions about it, now they're back on his bandwagon, it's great stuff to read ;)

    To be frank, AB was one of the main reasons we got into that hole. We were down by 1 when he came into the game. He proceeded to turnover the ball 2 times in a row, got burned by Wall..he dished it out for a 3. The next defensive position, Wall burned him again and got to the FT line. This was at the end of the third quarter.

    We started off bad in the fourth quarter as well and went down by 10. I'm glad he ended up playing well and he helped us make the comeback but he still has a long ways to go imo..

    Clutch,

    A lot of guys are raving about Hill's play last night. Got a video highlight clip of him?

    Thanks for the vid, Clutch!

    Excellent chemistry between Brooks, Lowry, Martin and Battier on those plays. Brooks and Lowry did a great job in finding the open man, especially in that last play of the vid, where Brooks gives up a 3-point shot and passes to Martin for an even better 3.

    And was that BUDINGER making a crucial defensive stop??? Holy cow.

    what a great game, the crowd really turned out and made some noise.
    Rowdies did a great job.

    I was in the upper deck and saw the rowdy with the "On your Feet!" trying in vain to get some people to stand up late in the game. He shoved the sign right in front of two people sitting down, behind some fans that were standing, they couldnt see anyway, and they still wouldnt stand up. Great effort, and very intertaining.

    Awesome pass from Miller

    Saw this on yahoo By Dan Devine

    <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AehZNN7MDX0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AehZNN7MDX0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

    Quote from Dan Devine:
    "Backpedal after a teammate's shot attempt to take away the opponent's cherry-pick opportunity on the break. Respond to the offensive rebound by making yourself an outlet option at the arc. Calmly step into an in-rhythm 3-pointer from about two feet behind the line.

    Lull the defense into a false sense of security. Drop a perfect lob right into Courtney Lee's(notes) hands as he passes the basket. Notch another sweet assist and pay some penance for a three-week-old shoulder block. Smile sagely, knowing as you do that you totally meant for this to happen exactly as it did, and that if anyone doubts you, you'll hit them with the slow pump fakes, make them laugh and distract them.

    Typical Brad Miller(notes) stuff, really."

    While that's nice to watch, I wonder if it is really a pass or an AIR BALL.

    Cheers, whatever works :grin: .

    Definitely an airball. Lee was in the right place at the right time. Great awareness

    LOL.. he clearly missed that shot badly and was smiling at Lee for bailing him out! Miller would never admit to that tho, just like Deke never committed a foul in the NBA :grin:

    I'd say it was a shot, just by watching Courtney Lee react I think it was a shot. It seems as though he was going in for a rebound then speeds up to get the ball. If this was all planned then wow that's some chemistry because I didn't see any eye contact before Brad shot the ball.

    Freeze frame this at 5 seconds and tell me that there wasn't a better option available than Lee on this play. That is....if you could trust Hill to catch the ball.
