LOL. You don't want Dada's closer? He's got one for you. People need to wake up and realize that down the stretch smart teams are gonna double Lil' Aaron and we gotta have somebody else to go to that is money offensively. Yes, we needed Martin tonight. And we needed Martin on the floor to backcut and get to the FT line and the rim. Martin avoids the doubles because he moves without the ball and when the D does double him, he gives up the basketball FAST so somebody else can do something with it. He doesn't continue to dribble around in circles trying to create when he is double teamed. Hence, the fact is, he is the most efficient offensive player we have on this team.........by far.
I'm extremely impressed with the way Jeffries has played Tenacious D. It's making me feel sorry that he won't be in the Rockets' long-term plans. With Miller out, the Jeffries/PPat combo has been a joy to watch. Both dudes just go after it.
Disappointed with the final result, but not with the effort. Seriously, how long have our guys been playing to full strength. We are without Martin and Hayes. We always have guys who have to play out of position. And yet we competed with a good number of the top teams. Like I said before, miracles do happen. Keep plugging away and we will be fine. I will enjoy the rest of the season whichever way it is going to turn out. SS999
Anyone noticed how off Courtney Lee's jumpshot is time after time? He always overshoots it or has a really bad angle
I kinda feel crap when Jeffries has the ball on offense. Dude can't put the ball in a freaking ocean.
This. He would have more rebounds tonight if his teammates didn't take it from him. Does no one else see this? He hustles for the rebound and right when hes about to secure it, its taken out from his hands. It happens about three or four times a game. He just needs to get in the weight room and we need The Pat man next to him at PF so scola' defense doesn't make it look like he doesn't no where to be or is late on rotations. It would help him a lot if Scola wasn't getting beat off the dribble or late rotating back to his man.
Good effort. Thunder shot lights out. If PP's mid-range jump shot isn't on the scouting report, it should be after this game. Now solidify your inside game! People here were clamoring for JHill to work out with Hakeem. Imagine what PP can become under the Dream's tutelage. JJ is slowly working himself into the all-hustle, energy-off-the-bench role. I'm going to miss the guy once Chuck is back and/or he's traded.
Adelman just refuses to sub until it's "time to" Not when it's needed. It's not like the starters were getting stops. Battier wasn't scoring... 3pt shot was off...Brooks was off... Hill...wtf
-Side Note AKA Battier frustration note- -Why the heck does Battier always laugh his butt off every time he drives to the lane carelessly, or makes a stupid decision? Its getting really annoying. I want to see the Battier with blood smeared on his face, getting a technical purposefully to fire up his team like he did in the playoffs two seasons ago. If we have to deal with this guys lack of ability to do anything with the basketball in his hands, and his slow motion cuts off of screens, at least wipe that smirk off your face and show some attitude.
The thunder are just a better team with a more talented roster. They have in my mind the best pg in the game. Westbrook alone is better than anything the rockets have. Durant is another franchise player and Green has franchise talent,just not the mentality.
I went to the game. Another too-little-too-late effort. Attendance looked anemic. In fact, there were so many empty seats, I'd be shocked if a major trade doesn't go down.
This is a mild quip with our sucky season, but why in the ****ing world are we going for quick layups when we're down 3 or more points with less than 20 seconds to go!?!?!?!?!? WHY WHY WHY? YOU NEED A DAMN 3, CUT THIS CUTE LITTLE 2 POINT **** OUT. GOD DAMN I'M AS ANGRY AS STEPHEN A SMITH
damn I didn't see the post above yours. no. it doesn't take an expert to recognize this. I've been yelling the same thing at my tv for a few months now and thought it was just me. trust me, I'm always right as well.
I know, I thought the guy was supposed to be a huge offensive force when we got him. I can't believe he's not scoring at least 20 pts per game. How disappointing is it that all he does is play defense, rebound, and hustle. We don't need people like that on our team, do we?
