...and miss out on the Randy Foye and Mike Miller experience?!? HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!!

I agree. Randy Foye and Mike Miller have been absolute beasts for us! Talk about setting us up for long term success!

McGee needs to keep the ball up high when he gets an offensive rebound.

He has the 2001 Iverson mentality....but without the actual converting the shot portion.

I think that's a terrific way to describe him - fully agree!

Rubio has an arsenal right now that Wall can only dream of.

To me, it all boils down to the fact that Wall's handles are awful. Watch how Rubio keeps his head up, even when he's driving. Wall's eyes are down all the time except when he's pounding the ball through the floor at the top of the key.

I'm not that upset really, Grunfeld has assembled a real mess of a roster. I have a little sympathy for Flip.

Crawford actually passed the ball last year- that's one of the things I noticed about him last year, was that he was looking for McGee when no one else was.

I just called for this lineup and Flip put it in. He took out Singleton & McGee for Book & Wall. That will give us more O and we matchup better

This zone is just stupid. Wide open three after wide open three. Is EJ the defensive assistant?

Flip is a stubborn ahole.

We need a time out

That is if we want to win this game

Dray stay's making me look bad. He looks slower than Haywood right now. Just like a slug with no energy. He was much quicker then that right after the trade. I just knew he would get in shape this offseason

right on cue. Make up for it Dray. Just play harder with more passion and you can do great things

Wall can learn a lot about pacing from Rubio & Ridnour.

Flip might have to go just on the way Wall is looking in our system and our confusion on both sides. It sucks

Walls jumper is probably the worst of any guard in the league that actually plays.

I'm getting really tired of watching Wall duck his head and run into the paint as if he's LeBron. Watching Rubio play really makes you realize how a PG should run the team.
