    Good to see GSW beating Bulls. Bulls play @ Portland on Monday... I can see them bouncing back against them.

    No, you want the Bulls to beat the warriors too. They're right behind the Rockets and have 1 less loss.

    I'm proud of our team tonight. Nobody shot the ball particularly well, but we made up for it with heart and hustle to grind out the win. We outrebounded a much bigger and taller Memphis frontline by a large margin (LOL at Gasol's ONE), and all our starters came up big...KMart with his perfect FT shooting, Luis with the clutch baskets in OT, and Chuck, Kyle, and Shane all doing the little dirty work. The only thing that concerns me is our bench play which will kill us when we play better teams, like Denver on Monday. But well done first overtime win!

    Why is this good? Do you understand the conferences and what the standings are?

    True, but GSW has played only 23 road games compared to 28 rockets and 27 Portland. GSW is just horrible on the road... with us having 5 game road advantage, and they are not that big of a fear for us. Of course, If Bulls beat both then that would be great... If Bulls beat one then I would love them to beat Blazers not Warriors.

    I can see Bulls going with full force if they lose tonight...

    Of course I do... do you know what schedule is like? I have taken a look at it.

    GSW not only plays a lot of road games, but they have a lot more games left against good teams than us.

    I agree with the sentiment. AB can't handle coming off the bench anymore, we ought to trade him while he has value for an asset.

    That being said, great win!

    We really need the bench to help the starters and give them rest, but they have been terrible lately. I really think they could be playing better if Ish was playing. Guys like Budinger, Lee, Patterson/Hill, need a guard to set them up and give them easier shots. Right now Brooks is not doing that and seems to be playing for his contract instead of playing for the team.

    GSW won't get 8th, so if they finish above us, that's 1 up the lottery for us

    Lowry and Martin getting it doen for us in clutch. Im glad Aldeamn didnt have Broosk in there. I hope this is a trend that follows. Scola has been busting his backside off.

    Our Bench production sucks. Get Ish and T-Wil lin there already. Not glad at all to see Miller back. Pat Pat aint knocking down shots or grabbing boards anymore.

    Not only that, hollins looks like he was showcasing conley jr,lol. I mean, I'm glad, but rudy didnt touch the ball late and all year he was the player taking and making big shots. Good,quality win against a hot team.

    BTW, brooks is in a funk like I havent seen alot of players go through. His confidence is shot and his body language is terrible. A trade is probably the best thing for both sides. It did wonders for lowry and gasol.

    I would bet having Is running the bench instead of a sulking Brooks would dramatically improve our bench play. It is time to make a change. Aldeman has given Brooks plenty of chances.

    Why do we feel the need to trade someone whenever we win?

    i can't help but think how sad it is that we're openly celebrating after beating the GRIZZ...

    what happened to a nice game against the Spurs for the win?

    i hope some major trades are in discussion right now...

    You just gave a certain member "on vacation" a heart attack! I agree, by the way. I thought AB would be great in the Jason Terry role with the Rocks, but the dude has freaked out. Bummer!
