Shoot, I'll take Wednesday's game if no one is already signed up for it. It's kind of a safe bet to boost my game-thread record too...at least, I hope it is...

And you know, I hate to say it, but I think what we're missing is consistent inside scoring. I missed most of this game, but in the last few it seems like Kaman is blowing it in the lane, whether it's fumbling a pass from Baron, otherwise turning it over, or missing easy buckets. In short: we miss a scorer like....cougheltonbrandcough. We're too much of a jump-shooting team, which would be fine if we made up for points in the paint via fast break points. But...we don't play well enough on defense for that. Hopefully we can get this thing right on the road.

That team is so dangerous with Durant, Green, Westbrook and Collison. Our vets don't stand a chance. :lol:

The reason why Dumb called another time out was because there was 4 players on the court! He called Kaman over to get in, and he's on the end of the bench in his warmups. Follow that up with an 8 second play call, wow, what a play!

I hate Dumbleavy!

anyone notice a three that baron took late in that game? he shot the ball and didnt jump up straight, when he took the shot he spread his legs like he was going to do the splits in mid air before he shot it. I don't think this guy is taking the game seriously after seeing that shot attempt

Yeah I did see that. It made me o.O cause that was awkward as hell, and the shot was very off.

I got to see the second half of the game this afternoon.
Baron was pretty disappointing.
Taylor brings a real energy on to the floor with him, and everyone seems to get infected with it. I wish he were a couple of years seasoned and not quite so raw.
Loved Camby's blocks and boards. Really first class stuff. A pleasure to watch.
Mobley was hitting them really well, too.
All in all, it didn't look nearly as bad as I expected.
But the Clippers were definitely out-coached, especially in the crunch.
Any chance that Dunleavy might move into the GM spot full-time any time soon? There are lots of good coaches floating around out there, and I think a few of them might really be able to make something of these guys.
It's hard to tell what they may be thinking behind closed office doors. But this really isn't too tough a conclusion to reach.

P.S. Ms JJ, you do it for us tomorrow and if you are the good luck charm, then you have yourself a job, and we will all be most grateful for the wins.

I think he tried to make it look awkward so that the refs would call a foul. He knew that baby wasn't going in so he did what he could...the way I see it, at least.

I'll do all I can, and I hope not to disappoint!
