Forcing Web to play through an injury that nearly railroaded his career despite having Rice and Porter is just ridiculous

I just don't understand why you wouldnt give the young guys some burn while getting Web ready for playoff games

Again, Wittman goes w/ Wall for the full quarter. He's rotating out the other starters as per usual.

This is a huge game, and I understand tired legs, but most of the mistakes this team has made this game have nothing to do with being tired, and they haven't been playing even remotely well enough lately to be given the benefit of the doubt. Without Wall, we'd be getting blown out right now.

Not sure how you can tell these mistakes have nothing to do with being tired. Wall looks fresh because he's young, Beal nearly has his ankle amputated and all the thirty-somethings are dragging including Ariza and Gortat. That's their fault for not winning with ease last night.

13 Turnovers in 3 quarters due to lack of focus and poor decision making.

Gortat shooting 1-8 is bad enough, but 4 TOs in three quarters is really tough to deal with.

Tired or no tied, Brooklyn is just a better team right now. Nene would make it a different story but they are missing KG (I know he's nearly done). Williams and Johnson are a better backcourt than Beal/Wall. Both are playing like All-Stars, Pierce can still stroke it and Livingston is a very good third guard that should be here. Those guys are so damn smart. Too bad Gortat couldn't take advantage of Plumlee.

Gooden has cost us at least 12 points on defense

Fail to score @ the end of Q3. Give up a 3 to start Q4 & then miss a FT. PLAY SOME DEFENCE! Rebound the ball!

Okay, Al! Do your thing.

Uncle Al! The future of the funk!

Our bench is outplaying the starters tonight (for the first time ever?).

At least we're showing some heart before Pierce and Johnson dagger us. Nice to see AH show some energy and play hard on defense. You just have to know when that energy is going to run out.

godkingleonidas · Post #95 » by **godkingleonidas** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 1:01 am

Finally. Scoring in the paint & rebound in have shown up!!

Sluggerface · Post #96 » by **Sluggerface** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 1:01 am

I don't want Gortat back in. Keep Al in at the 5 and beat these guys off the dribble.

Miller's been giving some solid defense off the bench. Or, at least, Williams isn't attacking and making mincemeat out of him.

Old man BBall at it's finest. Nice to see some IQ out there.
