Let not leave out Randy.

That had to be one of the worst coached games I have ever seen.

Never should have been that close.

Wall was god awful. Total regression. Terrible pace. Forced passes. Just awful.
Beal was afraid to shoot all night.
Kevin was terrible on defense and forced shots. Game screamed to give Ves a change but nothing.

Nene, Webster, Price and Big Balls saved the day.

I might be alone with this, but I've never liked Wittman...I think he's a slightly below average coach.

What that tells is veterans Nene, Okafor, Webster, and Ariza are doing their jobs and getting it done.



Ariza still has shot selection issues but when we win, I can live with it.
A couple of the 3s he took in the 4th (or maybe it was the 3rd) I didn't
like much at all. Except for the one that actually went in which was
off of good offense. The others were Crawford-esque.

You think every game is his worst-coached. The fact that he stuck with Crawford and got Okafor back in was smart. He can't help that Booker and Seraphin were god-awful. Or that Wall was pathetic for most of the game.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

This has the potential of being an extremely fun season in the last half of the year.

Yeah, Ariza hit a three and then he felt emboldened. He doesn't know he can't shoot. Trevor doesn't hesitate to put up a bad shot. If not for bad shots he would be a positive contributor almost all the time.
Bye bye Beal.

Wow. Wish you could have cropped that guy who appears to be ball handling out of the picture.

Wall had a rough game...never seemed to get the right pace? (i don't know if that's the best way to put it but seemed most appropriate). But the steal & dunk were huge. We've been relying on the backcourt recently and the front court was on tonight and bailed us out, along with Crawford. I think Wall got stuck trying to pick up the pace when the game didnt necessarily call for it....although I hated the first lineup they put out there with him....(Booker and Seraphin shouldn't happen)...

Ariza is pretty solid in many respects though. The game against ATL when
Jacqui and I got to hang out where the players exited the locker room area
I was really impressed with how long Ariza is. He's been boarding really
well lately. If he shoots as a result of a good offensive set, I can live with
whatever the result. He's got a little Craw in him though.

So beal can't have a cool cat look on the sidelines or take in the moment at the exact time J-Craw made the winning shot? He certainly ran right into the midst of celebration with the rest of his teammates in the immediate aftermath. I just dont see the internal strife or personal animosity some of you guys are trying to see from a single snapshot.

Wall was in a funk but it's almost like his teammates put him into
it with the failure to catch passes when John first came in the game.
May have gotten in his head.

Without the steal/dunk, Craw's shot is a bit more pressure packed.

Exactly. His pace was terrible. And even after he finally made up for it with that steal and dunk, he came back with a behind the back something crap move.

He was the anti CP3 all night.

And Randy stilling with Kevin when he was getting used like a doormat under the basket was stupid. Should have put Ves in. The game was right down his alley. He would have passes it around.

Randy stuck with crap the entire 2nd and even into the forth. Wall needed to get benched for how he was playing. Price was playing excellent. Lillard was iced the whole game until the 4th will Wall in covering him. Then he blow by Wall and dunked on him. It just hurt watching Wall out there tonight.

We should have won by 10 plus.
