You know ... I'm not sure .. But Blatche might be better than Songaila

Interesting move here. EJ going with DMac.

I like it.

Why pull Blatche then for McGuire? EDITED -- My bad, AB got 4 fouls.

Whoa there, that's crazy talk. That kind of stuff is blasphemy in EJ's eyes.

Brendan is playing some good defense!! We need to get some better shots on offense. Keep attacking inside.

One good thing is the crowd is into the game and everything's flowing with 4 starters on the court -- so Dominic is not in at garbage time and he won't have to force any shots.

Well you guys complained about the reffing in the 1st half.
Guess the refs evened it out. Terrible offensive foul call on Bargnani that was his 4th early on. Horrid call.
Terrible missed foul call on Delfino when his arms were clearly slapped.
And terrible call right there on AP when he was clearly hit from behind. Guess the refs made some decisions at halftime.

Haywood is playing a real good game. It's hard for him to be effective against a small ball lineup like this. Haywood is getting the job done on D.

Finally, EJ makes a team adapt to our size rather than vice versa.

Blatche out. McGuire in.

Could EJ be losing confidence in Songaila? Or is he just resting him until that crucial 4th quarter stretch?

What exactly is AD's purpose?? He is just killing us on offense and defense these last few games.

I like how we always put a hand in a guy's face at all times on defense now. We didn't do that last year. Thank you Randy Ayers.

I really hope we win this game. Its going to be hilarious if we beat them without our two best players.

Did you miss another ticky tack foul on AB?

Did you miss when both Daniels and Jamison were hacked on their way to the rim?

Did you miss when Bosh bumped Haywood?

Alright then.

Yep, nate, it was 4 fouls on AB....

Glad I missed the first half, because I like the lineups and the defense this quarter.

Unfortunately Pech has been shooting such a horrible %, that he doesn't warrant much PT.
