No K-Mart.

Big win by Washington yesterday gives us a little breathing room in the Tank wars.

Wow Garcia is just embarassing himself. Stop complaining. Stop faking injuries when u get blocked. And learn some ball handling skills. Dude making the team look bad.

That block on Hawes was a foul.

Spencer's showing that he doesn't belong on the bench EVER!

Wow Gacia. Shut your mouth. I just do not understand why he acts like he is some superstar or something. I am seriously embarassed to watch him play.

Oh come off it. Cisco does some annoying stuff sometimes, but his personality is more a blessing than a curse.

Edit: Nice second quarter after a putrid start.

A technical foul and pissing off the officials is really not a blessing. Dude annoys me, imagine what he does to the Refs. He just takes no responsibility when he screws up, and tries to blame the refs for his mistakes.

No that would fall under the "curse" that I referred to. But his leadership, constant effort and hustle, and clutch play are all bigger blessings. Not to mention that complaining to the refs hasn't even been a consistent problem with Cisco this year.

What's with all the hate on Garcia. The guy is leading our team tonight, already has 18 points and is hustling his ass off. Let him yell at the refs, who cares.

God the Suns are terrible. We have no Martin and they are only winning by 3 points, they really don't even deserve to make the playoffs. And there bench has got to be one of the worst in the league. I am sure there is a team or two I am not thinking of that has a worse bench but damn. With Nash, Hill, Shaq, and maybe even J Rich only having 2 more good years the Suns will be cellar dwellers very soon. I mean there future right now is an often injured Amare (whom they might lose anyways) and Barbosa, and the white guy with the pony tail that use to be on the Kings, yikes!!

Well the rebounding needs to get better....that and if we're going to let a team shoot over 50% from the field, they can't be shooting 50% from 3 and getting to the line 20 times in a half. But the biggest difference in the game is rebounding right now. More than anything, Jason should probably be playing more in this half.

Dude, there will no problems if we draft another PF, this Jason Thompson/Spencer Hawes center rotation is the real deal. Jason would be awesome off the bench at PF or C.

I think that's kind of what people worry about. If one of Jason or Spencer sucks, then of course look for a big. But since they don't, that's where the concern comes from (mostly with regards to minutes).

But yeah, great quarter especially from Jason and Spencer. But it is frustrating to see Spencer not getting to the line more. He's so skilled down low and he's almost too good at avoiding contact.

Also, it's worth noting that the quarter was still nothing to write home about defensively....well I guess you could write home about it, but it would be more like a suicide note than anything.

Amen to that! We have a lot to look forward to.

Stick a fork in this one. We maintain our lead in the race for king of the ping pong balls. 7 more to go.

Its not that JT would be bad off the bench behind the other two, it just that we need to worry about the starting lineup and our weaker positions like pg. Depth is the least of the worries when there are glaring holes in our lineup.

Safe to say Shaq will remember the name Spencer Hawes after this one.

SacKingZZZ · Post #17 » by **SacKingZZZ** » Sat Apr 4, 2009 4:16 am

It's nights like these that make me think, "you know, **** Griffin, Harden, or whoever. Draft Thabeet!". Damn.

Yeah, but more so hire a defensive coach IMO. These guys need to learn to play defense as a unit more than anything. Even Thabeet wouldn't help unless there was a well-designed, well-executed defensive scheme around him with guys that know what the hell they're doing. I'm starting to really wish for Tom Thibodeau. IMO it's worth the risk right now.

New career high in points for Hawes and Thompson.

SacKingZZZ · Post #20 » by **SacKingZZZ** » Sat Apr 4, 2009 4:24 am

Is that Cedric Simmons AND Ike Diogu I see out there!? Wow, didn't even know they were still on the team.
