Why can't JOB just take Posey out and put Granger in athe 4 and PG at the 3? It's like if Paul starts to get going JOB doesn't play him the rest of the game.

I can't believe Bird continues to defend this incompetent so-called (pardon the euphemism) "coach"

Unfortunately, this game is now over...another loss...

In what world does Solo playing/McBob in street clothes make sense?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Not to say that McBob is the automatic answer, but I refuse to believe that Solomon Jones brings more to the table than McBob. Only in JOB's world can a guy (McBob) go from a fill-in starter in Game A to street clothes in Game B.

Honestly, how many people were hoping JOB would get himself tossed from the game because of those T's a little earlier? The game is falling apart, hell, give Walter McCarty a shot!!!

Wow Dunleavy trying to steal another rebound and knocking it out of bounds. How many times has he left Nic Batum wide open this quarter?

Does JOB not see how good the line up of DC/Rush/Granger/Hans/Roy is playing? It dosnt take a rocket scientist.
