Anyway too many positives in this game to be upset. Hopefully we can win our next two at Sacramento and more importantly at Portland

I can see no reason why love shouldn't be starting, Bassy ugh.... Foye still not playing that great, but mostly seems to just be his shooting. Millers playing fine, but I don't think he is a long term solution here.

This team does need some shot blocking. They should get a shot blocking 3 with decent quickness and roll with...

If we play like this, along with a solid Foye and McCants. We should get a few wins in the next week or two. We need to start Love though. No more Gomes at PF crap.

Foye has no skills. He'll be forever linked to Brandon Roy.

It's like comparing Hollywood Robinson to Kobe right now

Bassy played well. He just fouled out, he was running the offense out there and the team seemed very comfortable.

good game, guys..

Kevin Love is a beast..nice to see, since I predicted he would be a lot better than a lot of people were giving him credit for..

Al Jefferson is a star player..

Foye is nice..

you guys will be in the playoffs next year..

I thought Bassy played well too. I actually didn't mind the Telfair/Foye backcourt. Telfair looks much more natural at PG than Foye.

Offensive rebounds killed us again. We need to learn how to box out.

he is nice. that inbounds pass he gift wrapped was a nice thing of him to do. Atleast save it for x-mas, foye.

GG tho spurs fans. You of course will kick our ass when Gino comes back.

that's the strange thing, we saw skills in college, we saw skills his rookie year, we saw skills the last month or so last season, but this season he looks like arse

hopefully it's just a slump

He was a Wizard last year and has always been known as a shooter... He has been a great pickup for us. He can handle the ball a bit and is shooting like 70% from three...

In college he had like the best FT% in the ACC of all time.

Yeah, Love definitely needs to be starting pronto, and be given at least 30 mpg at a minimum.
