It's better, I don't know if I'd say significantly, but it's noticable.

Nobody is living up to their end of the bargain out there except Dwight.

We cant even make **** layups, this **** ridiculous. We just made this game harder on ourselves than it had to be. Now we are fighting up the hill the rest of this game. Just poor dumb play. Bulls showing how much better their IQ is compared to our bonehead play. Im pissed.

We need Anderson and Hedo to step up in the 2nd half.

We miss some shots inside and then everyone stops moving and starts taking stupid shots, stupid passes and they stop playing defense. Really smart.

He did kinda lean forward and push. Had he just stood up and set a "normal" pick, there would had been no problem with his wide-ish stance.

Magic Johnson is just a terrible pundit. Not in what he's saying (although he does talk lots of nonsense), but his delivery. It's awful.

Also, screw Hedo. That lazy bum looks like he could care less if we win or lose. He just wants to get home and munch on some pizza.

this game highlights the fact that we simply need someone that can penetrate on a consistent basis.... man, i think we can turn it around, alot of missed shots that wasn't falling either.

We simply missed a lot of wide open shots and shots at the basket. And they hit incredible shots as well. It just sucks that our shot seems to disappear against the best opponents, all of the time.

Maybe, but it was still soft as hell. Like I said, big men across the league get away with worse all the time. It's just odd (and frustrating) that refs want to pick and choose their moments to enforce things to the absolute letter.

Jesus people, don't be classless haters. If you gonna hate, do it consistently, don't just show up when things doesn't go well.

This team can compete with anyone. The only problem is they rather beat them selfs then the other team SMH.

I don't get it...In Situations where we can't hit shots or get penetration isn't that why we have someone like Wafer? i mean i don't know what's going on in practice that he can't get time but i can't help but feel like he can't get minutes just because his name is Von Wafer...

Not a big name so he isn't going to get minutes even though he has the fastest first step on the team and is the most athletic Guard we have on the roster....Plus he ATTACKS...how can you not get him in there just to give them a different look instead of riding our struggling players hoping they can turn it around....

Stan sticks to his guns but sometimes that could be to a fault imho.....

Im really pissed that we let them get offensie boards and let them get in rhythim shots. Then we turn the ball over and they get easy fast break points. 2nd quater was just a total fail.

This I agree with.
