People are dumb and swear the game is only played on one side of the court. It's why we're in this situation now, because I know Otis most likely thinks that same way. We have no defense at the point guard and shooting guard position, and haven't since the finals year. It's a big reason we haven't been back and most likely aren't going back for a very long time.

I'd like to see more playing time for Von Tebow in the next couple of games .. So the others can observe & learn what an "attack of the rim" looks like ..

+1 ... players have to get it done at BOTH ends of the court... J-Rich had a good game on offense, but defensively I was less than impressed and we shouldn't settle for what he gives on that end... it's a liability to the team... I'd rather have someone who puts up 7pts, 2asts, 2rbs and plays within the system (and attacks, moves off the ball well), GIVES good effort on defense and plays hard on defense than someone who scores 20pts and gives ups driving lanes and gets burned every time on defense.

Great game for us to win in spite of Dwight's absence.

Ok, I'll stick with my previous nickname, LeVon Wafer 8-) It actually sounds better. Though I hope Von won't choke as much as Le3Quarters

only 10 turnovers tonight... niiiice
horrible game defensively but with Dwight out for so long you'd expect it.
love seeing Ryno do other things than chucking. we'll probably still see a lot of games where he shoots and does nothing else.

I'm really unhappy with J-Rich. His defense makes me cringe so hard. A player caould literally walk into the free throw line and Jason would just walk back with him. Not very agile and it hurts watching him simply give players driving lanes and potentially causing Dwight to foul.

Someone needs to photoshop Von's face on that and say "Hello, yes this is Von"
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Unfortunately, there's been no explanation at all which worries me more.

and you think von is the better option defensively? :lol: I guess if you are a homer, it is OK to be unreasonable. Von didn't get minutes from Doc because he did not played disciplined team defense and got very cocky on offense. SVG keeps him in control, lets just hope it stays that way.

Jrich played great today, he did lots of things that I loved.
