    He just got the putback in, but other than that he has been a liability on the floor. He was in position to get a few rebounds taht wound up being offensive boards for NJ. Not to mention he's had a very poor defensive game.

    Why is Griffin, the superior player, on the bench, while Morris is getting so many minutes?

    I'd like to think that Griffin would have at least grabbed a few more rebounds than Morris.

    Yeah, but dude, TMo is more proficient at draining those wide-open 3's.

    Good question, kidrock8. Too bad that the only person who can answer that is Rudy (maybe pops;) ).

    I found myself screaming " NO!!!!!!!" when he shot those 2 3 pointers in the corner.

    Man, we should have won this game. However, with the way this season has gone, I'm not surprised. This team is the best damn team that I have ever seen in inventing new ways to lose.

    I know the Rockets traded a future pick to Atlanta for Terence Morris.

    I am curious, though. Was Terence Morris a higher pick than Dennis Rodman or John Salley for Detroit?

    Suck it up fellas! The time Tmo got in the 4th Q is an investment worth taking. Yes it would have been nice for him to make the shots and for us to win. Tmo is very talented and is performing well. Is not like EG was not bricking up the place! You win some you lose some. This season may be shot anyway so lets get the boys exposed. Next up, Langhi and Collier.

    Since TMo was the only effective answer to Kenyon Martin, he had to play. TMo is much stronger than EG and was able to hold his position better than EG. KMart was killing. In the end when we were down he should have come out but typical Rudy T, he rides his players to the loss.

    TMo is an awesome hussle player off the bench. He is not a starter that should get 10 FGA in a game.

    TMO more effective????

    c'mon guys..who are we kidding...TMartin was on fire and no one could stop him. I saw him knock down 2 jumpers with TMO and EG in his face....so, do not hand me the TMO was more effective argument.

    who would you rather have shooting the rock downt he stretch..EG or TMO? no need to explain this question or answer.

    EG is a guy that shows he can get hot at anytime. sitting him because he was not shooting well is poor. how about sitting Walt when he is 0/10? it is incredulous that Rudy does not give EG time down the stretch, especially when we our done for the season. this is the time EG needs to be seasoned..when the chips are on the line, but not so much that it is devastating if we lose.........
