T-Rob looks horrible.

I feel incredibly uncomfortable watching Jim Grey and Bill Walton go at it right now.

I would not be able to take it if Bill Walton was a commentator every night. Every once in a while, I'm ok with it though.

Anyway, this quarter was a bummer. They started out passing and playing team ball just like in the first half, but then they had like three in-and-outs in a row and a couple of non-calls work against them. Then bam, Magic capitalize on all of that and a 16-0 run happens.

If they play unselfishly in the fourth, I see no reason why they shouldn't win. They have more talent than the Magic even with Tyreke out. But then again, that can be said most nights and look at the team's record...

Shortest lineup ever?

Jerry was doing radio tonight, so Bill did Jerry's "Fresh Thoughts presented by Subway." He was trying to do some kind of a sandwich reference.

Bill is in love with BBD.

We're seeing right now why T-Rob won't be like Landry or Hickson. He's having a terrible scoring game, but he's still making an impact because he's going to be a much more complete basketball player than either of them.

T-Rob isn't going to need to score to be a great pick for us. Just to what he's doing now, Blocking shots, harassing on defense, passing well, and just being a pest all over the court.

yeah this is what we expected from TRob, defense and energy. It's just surprising how he doesn't finish that well around the rim.

Made me eat my words.

He had a nice 2nd half.

Great defensive energy and work rate.

I really think it's mostly just being over eager right now. Once he calms down a little, I think he'll be just fine.

I want them to just give T-Rob more minutes. Yes JT is better right now, but we're not winning with him getting major PT anyway. Might as well try to develop the guy with the higher ceiling, who you picked at 5.
