This game starting to look a lot like the game on Phoenix where their young guys came to life in the 2nd half and kicked our butts up and down both ends.

This season? Marco by a mile.

Long term? Probably Ulis, will be interesting to see how he translates. IT potential, but not sure he'll get there.

Couldn't tell if Cliff was disgusted by the foul call against Frank or Frank's defense on that PnR vs Booker.

At the half, Booker leads Frank 10-8.


After 3, Booker leads Frank 21-10. Both now sitting on their averages.

Frank wants no part of Alan Williams down low. He's been bullying Frank all night.

Weber needs to have some redemption minuets right now, Lamb also. Both have looked lost past two games. I'm not going to have much patience for Weber if he can start to make some jumpers.

I'm disappointed Collins didn't know that Williams started his career with us in Summer League.

Yep. This is the sort of game that should temper the Frank is a C talk.

He's had a pretty poor all around game.

This is why I don't think you can say Briante is the difference between our bench playing well and not. He's opportunistic, but he is 100% dependent on everyone else for offense. Lamb, Frank, and Marco are all so inconsistent that none of them can be relied on night to night to carry that unit offensively.

Related: Frank is having to guard the guy that injured his shoulder.

I think the NBA game is just too fast for Frank. He isn't able to get into position in time and gives up too many open shots.

I'm going to have to issue a public apology go Yosemite and Roberts if Weber keeps this up.

He's been all around terrible for two straight games. I'm really really tired of his hot/cold play. He has to find some consistency. When he's good and the matchups favor his style, he's a real game changer, but too often he has games like this where he's a complete mess. And enough with the ice cold shooting to start every game.

Sucks for Marvin that his +/- numbers get dragged in the mud lately as he's been the poor soul cursed with playing with the 4 bench guys.

If Clifford is trying to win it would be wise to have MKG in right now over Marco. If he's not trying to win aka tank he should keep Marco in.
