Who is a bit of a questionable passer at times.

The first problem on that inbound pass was not passing it to Felton when he was free at the top of the 3pt line for a brief moment. Jax probably figured when he got close that was the safer option but Farmer jumped on his back to slap the ball through his legs. Game over.

We win this game with Wallace playing.

Have you not been scoring at home this season? That was the quintessential Bobcat loss.

Ugh you're right. I just said I cannot believe when I really do believe and expected it :'(

Hell, the same thing happened on the play before. The refs just didn't call it out of bounds when they should have.

the LA game ball should go to Lamar Odom. Did he even miss a shot? He pretty much did everything right against us.

Diop did a good job o filling in but why is Boris playing extended minutes he literally doesn't care at least half the time I'd rather Brown or Diop play hard then Boris make the occasional smart play /rant.

I can't believe Nazr, Jackson and Murray held us together super human effort by Nazr the whole game that fast break put back dunk was beautiful!

Shame we had to lose it in the end if we had GW we would have ripped them apart!

This is all true. It's also good to leave the West after this game and not the Portland game. At least we seriously showed up tonight.

I'm really worried about the NO game though. Hope Crash is ok for it.

Good to have you here GQ. Hope you stick around. I enjoyed your posts tonight.

He totally exposed our lack of a back up PF.

Wonder if that will be enough for LB to force something to happen in the next week?

Still...this is a game we could have had and we needed. Raps are a couple of games up on us now.

You don't think we have a freeze on roster decisions until Postolos takes control?

Yeah I haven't looked at the schedule, but those are definitely winnable games. Need to go to into the All Star break on a high note.

And Nazzy needs the be the starter if and when Tyson comes back. He did so well tonight, grabbed 17 boards or something.

Olajuwon34 · Post #191 » by **Olajuwon34** » Thu Feb 4, 2010 6:20 am

Looked at the stats 9 offensive boards is inhuman for Nazr with 17 total in a full time starting role he could easily average a double double!

Though its still a shame we dumped Okafor for basically nothing!

GQCoolest · Post #192 » by **GQCoolest** » Thu Feb 4, 2010 6:21 am

I wouldn't mind something like Acie Law and the Phoenix 2nd rounder to the Clips for Craig Smith, something like that. A guy like Smith to provide 20 minutes and solid rebounding and defense would be an absolute crucial need. Crash can't keep putting in 42 MPG, otherwise missed games like this one will become more and more frequent.

UPS with 11 minutes tonight. :rolleyes:

Game on too late for me. But it looks like Nazr gave a heroic effort. If only Diaw could have helped with a few points.

I agree that it is a mystery why Diaw continues to get more than 10 minutes a game. Nazr had a career game tonight. Jackson was a beast also. If Tyson were able to play and we had a real 4 this team would be trouble.

We shouldn't forget - how many points did Kobe score on Jax? 50? No, 5 poinst on 2-12 shooting. enough said :lol:

(it has to be)

I'm convinced LB adopted Boris during the summer while in France. They spent a lot of time together, and that can sometimes be a bad thing. Too much wine, comfort, and you get a little too close. Now Larry see's Diaw in a rose-colored light. I can only pray he and the front office get offered a true starting PF and extras for Diaw and Law.

He didn't look very good during those 11 mins IMO. Looked a little out of his depth - maybe for the 1st time this season?

Maybe they should be more together - on the bench. He still has to be a starter but maybe we could use some of his minutes for ... UPS by default. I just dont want to throw UPS into water offguard completely. Or we could use Flip and DJ more, shifting Jax and Crash one positon closer to the basket. 0 points is just awful. Points per 48 minutes are meaniningless, but Boris is second to last of our team with 13.9, only Gana is worse with 6.0.
