Great game guys. Was not expecting it to be that kind of high scoring game. Both teams rookies look great.

See you guys next time when our teams are hopefully at full strength. :wink:

Im sorry, but Wayne Ellington is not an NBA starting SG.

Why did Love play only 23 minutes? Zero rebounds after the half time break

I say start Wes, bring Brewer and Ellington off the bench. Or even bring Beasley off the bench and start Brewer and Wes.

I'm a big fan of Love, but he was playing really sloppy d. Tolliver was blocking shots and hustling and looked a lot better tonight. I don't blame Rambis for sticking with Tolliver, Love's gotta show the same intensity. I don't like the fact that he went with Ellington to take the last shot though.

tolliver was playing great. so rambis rode the hot hand. nothing wrong with that. late in the game beasley got those minutes that might have went to love cause beasley can create his own shot. i'm not a big fan of love he pads stats but his impact on the game to me is questionable.

Because he was playing terribly and Tolliver wasn't.

1)Wow cannot wait tell Webster is back.
2) I cannot complain about the point guard spot though Flynn would have been nice to end the game. 3)And why is Ellington taking the last shot why not Ridnour.
4) What is wrong with our rotation?

Completely agree with this. Time to watch ROY vs ROY on ESPN

True. If Love wants to be the man on our team he has to bring it for three quarters. You can't go disappearing. KG gave us an excellent 3 and a half quarters for 10+ years.

Wes looked great. He is by far our most talented player. He has a high BB IQ, plays smart and efficiently.He hardly played in the 4th? Wow, that's crazy Rambis. Love And Wes should be playing 30 minutes, at least until Martell is healthy.

Considering Rambis was the ultimate hustle guy the way Love plays has to annoy him so much.

He's a solid backup 2. No he shouldn't be starting too many more games though

The other options are Webster (out with back injury), Johnson (Rookie with a strained hamstring), and Brewer (who has been terrible lately). Hopefully Johnson will get the nod for the next game.
