Man I can't believe this 15 MPG BACKUP CENTER is destroying us.

Trying to go through Garpax's head when that decision was made. Bear with the humor.

Why sign Taj & not match Asik
- Flexibility for the "home run", 15mil that last year hurt
- Boozer amnesty inevitable, could be thin at PF in 2013/2014
- Taj was pretty good last year also

Why not trade Asik before lasts years trade deadline
- Team was considered a contender before last year's trade deadline. (No so much after the core was knocked out by an 8 seed)

Why not trade Asik 2 years ago
- No trade value & his exponential growth last season put Garpax in tough spot.

Misc
- D. Morey is a damn good GM

A layup drill.... I agree John Barry and that's why I'm happy about the booing (Usually against it)

Asik is going to 20-20 us, isn't he?

10 more threes and we'll be back in it

30 point blowout, Deng and Noah will play 40+ min

Alright, Nate. Bring us within 15.

Well it's not that hard when the other team doesn't play any defense.

They players should actually reimburse tickets purchasers their money. People should be rewarded for watching this crap.

Even up 30 Omer not trying to give up transition buckets. Still love ya, man.

James Harden probably gets more soft foul calls than anybody in the league

Teague should play the entire 4th, Keep Kirk seated. Let the rook get extra burn.

PistolP · Post #296 » by **PistolP** » Wed Dec 26, 2012 2:42 am

Harden just swings his elbows into your face with a full head of steam. How are you supposed to not foul on that without busting your face?

I really hope someone has a screenshot of Thibs' face there.

That was the face of death.

I agree.

The main issue is that there was another point that entirely evaded them which is "how can we avoid those 3 predicaments"
