Game Thread: Charlotte v. Denver 1-14-08

I gotta give your team props where it's due.

Your team is a well-oiled offensive rebound machine and Gerald Wallace is just a beast.

It's been a slow process, but we are getting there. The evolution of Crash has been really enjoyable to watch over these past 4 years.

If he learns to pull up and shoot off the dribble he will be unstoppable.

Thanks...now if both of our teams, well especially ours, could play some defense, we could make the playoffs. Melo is just killing us and KMart got a sneaky 8 points.

[Bowens]

Our dribble penetration and pick and rolls have really worked well tonight.

Now we need to PLAY DEFENSE!

[BigSlam]

KA-FRIGGING-POW!!!

Has no hops my bum hole!!

[BigSlam]

Wow!! I've never seen EO50 go under like that and reverse it!!

Me likey a lot!!

[Bowens]

There you go Slam!

The thing that annoys me is that he makes it look so easy when he does it that it makes you wonder why the hell doesnt he do it more?

I think the 4th qtr benchings in Cleveland and Boston woke him up. He looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more aggressive on both ends of the floor since. If he can play like this I want him around. Looks like he's seeing the game better and maker quicker decisions too. Guess he needed a wake up call.

[BigSlam]

This is starting to look like an all star game with all the oops and no D

[Bowens]

This isn't one of JRich's better games. But we need to keep attacking the rim and not settling for jumpers. Those missed jumpers result in Denver coming back and beating us in transition.

[BigSlam]

That's the dump pass you wanted EO50 to make Bowens but JSwish fumbled it.

[Bowens]

I don't know why Nazr isn't in the game WITH Mek. The Nuggs are knocking Mek around down low.

[BigSlam]

Sloppy foul Crash.

[Bowens]

Nazr really is having a shaky game. Kinda hurting us. Camby has owned him while Mek has had much more success. Should have went big to start to get Nazr into the flow of the game cause he sits on the bench for far to long. Now SV has Okafor on the bench too long. Obviously SV hasn't figured out how to make the proper in game adjustments, preferring to stick to his pre game plan.

GREAT pass from Felts to Crash on the break. That's the sort of PG play we are looking for!

I hear what you are saying. BB had the same problem. Couldn't adapt on the fly.

[BigSlam]

Does any other team in the league have as many buzzer beaters scored on them than us?

[Bowens]

We give up 99 points through 3 quarters.

It's hurt us the entire game. Playing JRich on Melo for most of the night, starting Touche', giving very sporadic burn to Duds when he's produced.

Nazr should have gotten a lot more burn than he has.

[BigSlam]

We give up 99 points through 3 quarters.

OR look at it that we scored 96pts in 3 qtrs!!
