I don't know. I like Ross. I've never really liked his game, but I like the dude. I'll be happy when he is elsewhere regardless of how he plays when he gets there. He is such a ball stopper and ball stoppers are precisely what we don't need on a young team trying to learn to play the right way.

What happened to Chuma's game? Why is he so unproductive this season?

Another game down by 15 start of the second quarter. Cool season.

Yeah I don't hate the guy but he had more of a bounce in his step prior to this year and played with better effort. At least that is what I see when watching him play.

Everything looks like a fast break to Hampton. He just has to find his niche in the halfcourt and improve his defense and he will be a very useful two.

Have they been force feeding Hapton and Harris in this revenge game

Good things just seem to happen more often than not lately when the ball is in Franz's hands.

I'm glad they rewarded Bamba for that seal. It wasn't a good seal, but he got down the floor and got great position. He actually does that with some regularity, but we seldom take advantage of it.

Want to see him improve as a shooter so that he can utilize his speed to attack close outs.

Good post awareness from Bamba. That was a nice pass to Moe and then he knocks down the 3.

For me, it's all about his finishing. He gets to the rim so often and his FTr is just fine, but he has only hit 40% of his 2-point field goals this year, which is terrible. If he can get that number north of 50%, he will be looking really good.

I'd like to see WCJ at least look at the rim when he's open at the 3 point line. He's missed some lately but the threat has to at least be there.

3 shots in a half isn't enough.

The Nuggets look asleep. I'm fine with it.
