His trainwreck games are pretty unique, really.

He shoots the ball horribly, turns it over 6 times, gets a tech, and basically ruined an entire quarter. However, he still manages 9 boards, 6 dimes, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. But all of that doesn't matter because he was so dreadful in the other areas and was a huge net negative.

Not soon enough, from the looks of things. We need an option for when Jax is having a stinker and Graham is on but in foul trouble.

Feel-o-meter has me hating the Pacers more than any other team. Goddammit if it doesn't seem like they beat us every game now, while they lose to all of the teams we need them to beat.

well, we always look like garbage against teams that love to drain it from outside. Teams like the Pacers, Knicks or Magic.

I have a theory about that!

I think that LB is happy to allow other teams to do things that he wouldn't allow his own team to do, and if his team loses by that then so be it.

For example - LB has said time and time again that he doesn't want his team taking a lot of 3pt or long jump shots. He wants his team to pound the ball inside and get high percentage looks or get to the line. He doesn't see out shooting a team the way to win a game because the percentages aren't that high.

Therefore, he's happy to take his chances and allow the opposing team to shoot as many 3's and long J's as they like. He thinks that they can't stay hot all night and law of averages says they will get cold eventually. He would much rather give up wide open 3's than allow points in the paint and will live and die by that.

Problem there is three fold.

1. Jax (or us as a team) starts taking stupid jump shots rather than pounding the ball inside (like we did in the 2nd and 3rd last night as opposed to what we did in the 1st and 4th).

2. The other team has shooters (Granger and Murphy) who can and will knock down open long balls.

3. The other team starts playing zone and cuts off our ability to drive.

LB HAS to start making in game adjustments and he has to make them earlier. This live and die by the sword stuff is going to kill us.

Way to get behind the local team Observer!

No wonder Top Bob questioned local support of the team. The local paper doesn't even know when the team is playing!

Could they be settled in Europe - you know time changes at different day here. And their so called "inside info" is usually way off... I just dont know who doubles Bonnell at those press conferences then.

Pathetic, indeed.
