This was 80% on Baby.

Didn't box out, didn't guard Amir at all. Took 16 seconds off the clock on one possession only TO DRIBBLE LIKE A POINT GUARD and get blocked by ANDREA BARGNANI.

Trade this clown.

Also, we switch and show on almost every possession because apparently we can't play man to man without double teaming? Or so I think, we don't even get to see.

I just wish he'd shoot less, and the other players take the shots he's taking. It's painful to look at the box score and see him leading the way in FGA.

On the bright side...+8 with Drew on the floor. Slowly but surely we need to get Davis out. Also really need to start playing Kyle. The only guy who can block a shot around the basket on this team.

Am i the only one more comfortable with Nicholson trying to get us a bucket than Baby? Nicholson just seems smarter offensively than Baby is. I just wished Baby gave consistent effort on the defensive end because he's known for his hustle but it's like a switch he turns on and off

Could be trying to raise the value of certain players.

No you aren't the only one. Nicholson is WAY better than him offensively, Nicholson is probably the best offensive player on the team. He needs more minutes.

I trust coach for the most part but we need to get him in the game more and go to him more. He's just a smarter player he's not going to force it if he doesn't have it and with him i have only seen him shoot a few bad shots but those few bad shots was only when he shot it too quickly. He always seems to use what the defense gives him, if they're giving him the shot he'll take it if not then he'll drive it but he will make a pass when he should.

I like high Basketball IQ guys and that's why i like the prospect of Redick and Nicholson playing together because they're both High IQ guys and i think a Nicholson/JJ two man game would be better than a Baby/JJ two man game

third straight game of nicholson leading the team in +/-

i dunno how much to read into that tho, in this game he was really inefficient. missed his first 5 or so shots. and he was getting burned on the pick n roll. his +/- had more to do with his minutes coming when bargnani was on the bench.

i don't have a problem when bbd gets the ball right by the rim. i trust him to be able to barrel through people and muscle up a good shot. but as far as catching it from 20 ft and facing up, i'd prefer to see nicholson doing it.

When is Harrington back? Supposed to be about now right? He should take away the minutes that McAhole is getting and give some production there.

Jesus why is Coach giving these Stiffs minutes man?

Gustavo/McRoberts: 26 minutes/4 points/5 rebounds
Nicholson: 15 minutes/8 points/3 rebounds

Am i the only one seeing this? Nicholson outplayed both of those guys combined

Vaughn is a smart guy, I gotta believe hes been ordered to play those players for trade purposes, at least i hope, because they shouldn't be playing
