Anyone that can't see that we are vastly better than last year, regardless of record, isn't paying much attention.

Also, Vindicater, I thought of you when I designed my new avatar, I thought you would like it :D

It goes out not only to all the refs that have disrespected us, but also to all the Rambis haters.

I've seen every game this year; I see that we're younger and the inexperience of our young guys has resulted in many of our losses this year. most of which occured in the fourth quarter..Still, I expected us to win more ball games with all of this "talent", but I won't lie; I'm looking over the schedules from both seasons right now and our schedule this year from the start of the season until now was harder than it was last season.

Last year's team totally quit the last few weeks, too. I don't see this team doing that.

Gutted I only watched up to half time but I guess I would've got like 2/3 hours sleep had I watched the whole game. Anyway, great win for the Wolves, sounds like we played some really good ball despite another near collapse at the final hurdle. Love getting it done offensively, I can't believe how much he's improved. Ridnour, Milcic and Brewer having really solid games too, special mention for Wayne-maker too, defended Nick Young/John Wall really well and scored us some vital points.

I missed that game, the one time Rambis shows any form of emotion and I miss it :evil:

I hate to pull the ref card, but think of the few games against San Antonio which we should have won....Think of a lot of the bogus calls made against this team against better teams. The team's confidence would have gone through the roof if some of these games had been won.

It is much harder to get out of the cellar in the NBA than the other leagues. That's why you can't really judge this team by it's record...

Fans are turning on Jonny quick. He is just bad and the fans are letting him have it. There was a loud cheer for Ridnour as soon as he approached the scorers table, right before he replaced Flynn. The moment he was subbed, he sprinted back to the bench and Pek was consoling him.

OMG, ball movement!?! I had forgotten what that looked like. Fans were cheering great passes, even if the shot didn't go in.

How was the crowd on TV?

The crowd was good enough that the cheer for Ridnour was clearly audible before the camera even showed him, and some of the cheers for ball movement could also be heard.

The crowd's been much improved this year, although it might help that games have generally been more competitive this year than last.
