PG: The streak lives

Wish we lost against Cleveland. So many teams tied at 1-5

KLEIZA needs to come off the bench and be replaced by Wright or Weems.

Alabi should be getting that time to get some development in.

Not while we're in playoff contention.

In Portland, the fans get a FREE Chalupa from Taco Bell if the Blazers hit 100 points. So they booed because Mills didn't chuck up a 3 point attempt.

See, its not only Toronto fans and pizza.

DeRozan was 0-6 when Jay decided to put him back in the 4th just after we made that comeback run. He goes 1-4 down that stretch. What an idiot of a coach...

Kleiza and Barbozo both need to calm down and stop forcing everything.

Disappointing game. Defense was allright though.

Julian Wright's performance was the only real positive from this game.

Hopefully we'll start playing some smarter offensively though, i.e give the ball to Bargs instead of Barbs more, especially when he's heating up, like in the 2nd quarter. Besides not playing smart we just shot really bad too. So considering all that this game is another confirmation that we don't suck as badly as we're rated.

What a horrible game to watch. I don't mind us losing but put some effort into trying to win.

He was a +8 with 3 boards and 3 assists (2nd most to Calderon's 4 assists). I'll take that

Kleiza is a turnover waiting to happen, or at least it seems that way.

2nd night of a back to back, at the end of a mini-western road swing.....and we're not very good...Not unexpected.

Ah well, we played defense at least. I wasn't expecting much.

Liked what I saw from Julian Wright. Moves his feet, and is active on defense which is quite nice to see.

You only needed to mention the 2nd point. No one can argue if the boys tried. They did. They suck.

As for the players, we can expect these guys to be hot and cold all season. Everyone's on Amir's nuts the last two nights, but where was he before that? Jose has looked better, but that's just vs slower PG's. Andrea was average again.

At the half, Kleiza, Jack, DeRozan and Barbosa were a combined 3-18, while Bargs was 5-10 and even those 10 points were largely self generated rather than assisted plays.

In the second half, nothing changed and after moving up to 6-12, Bargs was ignored entirely. He came back in the 4th and tried to continue the run, but missed everything because he was completely out of the flow - and likely as tired as everyone else. He was -24, but played a game high in minutes that was pretty much entirely with Jack and DeRozan who are the next worst at -23 and -17 in 27 minutes each.

I'm not excusing Bargs - he got softer as the game went on - but could have done a whole lot more before the game got completely out of reach if they ran some kind of offense instead of the guard heavy free for all. For the second night in a row - aside from Calderon - it was like a summer league game out there on offense. Jack's stats are very misleading as he was like 1-5 in tghe first half and even in the second, largely ignored the open players and forced it way too often, making a pass that led to a contested shot instead of the smart, open one.

Calderon is the only one who had a good game, I think. Oh, and Julian Wright (when he wasn't botching a fast break) is starting to show a little something.

Jack
Barbosa
Weems
Kleiza
Evans

at the same time. More shots than passes probably

why is Evans in there when he takes 2 shots a game but not Bargs who takes our most shots? Oh right, agenda time.

GOOD= streak is alive & one step closer to a high pick

BAD= everything else

UGLY= Demar with only 2 points on 1-10 shooting...smh & the whole team looked tired

no excuses but they were playing in a tuff situation with the second game of a back to back against two elite teams

RapsFanInVA · Post #40 » by **RapsFanInVA** » Sun Nov 7, 2010 5:00 am

Again, I like this team because they are easy to predict. Of course they were going to lose to the Blazers on a back to back, no disappointment here.
