Crappy so far....Dwight has to stay in the game the second half but it's on him to stay out of stupid situations.....I say Feed Dwight all day and let them get a taste of their own medicine...It seems like if we breathe on Martin he's going to the line

Ryan Anderson is a big oaf sometimes. Lazy defense and lazy offense to end the half. Should've closed it out strong.

2nd half goals!

-Better shot selection/attack the basket/stop chucking
-Better defense and rotations
-More uptempo pace
-Don't give up second chance opportunities/grab boards
-Don't foul Scola or Martin
-Dwight needs to stay out of foul trouble in the 2nd half
-Don't worry what the refs are doing
-Play our game, execute our offense
-Play with intensity, heart, and hustle

WIN THIS GAME!

Ryan can not make a contested shot but he keeps jacking them up anyway. He should drive if they are running at him.

Martin is a good scorer but he gets wayyy too much respect from the refs. Every shot he takes he is leaning and floping on his defenders to get a call, every single play and its really annoying.

In other news, what would you guys do if Wade and Lebron shared the MVP award?

OT: Wesley Matthews is LIGHTING IT UP for Portland.......at half he has 29 points knocking down 7 out of 8 threes

all kidding aside we need to sit ryno for a while...

Stan is doing a great job but he still has the quirk of taking the hot hand out of the game....Jason had it rolling and wasn't in foul trouble i believe....For me personally i just can't understand how you can do that...having him sit for like 15-25 minutes real-time maybe it's just me

Case in point...

Arenas finishes the half +3 while our three best players -- Bass, Richardson, and Nelson -- are sporting a -1, -1, 0 +/-, respectively.

He needs to learn from JJ. JJ used to just jack, but now he will pump fake and then go in for a layup, stop and pop or nice pass. Anderson could probably have a few dunks a game if he just learn to pump fake.

I've always hated it when players play like that.

Especially because it is guaranteed to work against us. He has more than twice as many FT's as our whole team combined.

Starting PG for a back up center. Cool.

Stern could fix that quick if he instructed the officials to start calling fouls on obvious flops.
