Wow, even I saw that Wall sidestepped Olidipo on that one. These refs.

I could care less that John is cold. He's getting to the line and he has 7 assists already.

Wow. Dipo.

Wall is getting abused on the perimeter. On the other end: 2-10

Frankly, I don't understand why Wall doesn't attack the rim the way Dipo just did. He's about the same size, and just as explosive. Instead, he ends up picking up his dribble a step early and trying to glide his way to a layup.

Damn John...play some defense.

Interesting - Ariza was guarding Dipo on that sequence. Not sure if that was just a switch, or a coaching decision.

Wall is outplaying Oladipo despite his poor shooting.

Not sure why you're so hung up on what Oladipo is doing..

Nice finish to the half by Wall.

Thanks God, we have great starting lineup. Another 10+ pts lead at halftime.

Anyone else with Fios lose your feed?

John is one of the only guys in the league who can be +23 while shooting 3-11. He was fantastic that half with 9 assists already.

I can't take much more of our bench players, led by king suck.

...anybody else chuckle to themselves seeing Big Baby trying to bang with Nene. I encourage him to keep trying. :lol:

That was a phenominal half by Ariza. He had only 1 steal and no blocks, but he created havoc.

Love to see Nene playing with a chip on his shoulder. I think the chip got there when Maxiell tricked the officials into calling a foul on Nene. You mess with the bull, ya get the horns, Orlando.

Speaking of Big Baby, he lived up to his nickname. When they play Nicholson, they outscore the opposition significantly. When they play Big Baby, the opposition outscores them significantly. Yet, they play Big Baby more minutes than Nicholson. Does that make any sense?

That dunk by Ola - gotta give credit where credit's due - an amazing individual play.

The halftime talent contest on the floor right now is kinda painful.

I did in one tv...which is odd...other one has it O_o

As to the game...I think Wall is shooting a bit too much from the perimeter early in the clock...but I think that is a function of getting absolutely no love from the refs as Big baby and company are abusin the hell outta anyone who drives. 9 assists by Wall is great. We dropped 50 in a half even though we're shooting 40%...

Would like to see more P n R with Gortat and trying to get Webster some looks.

Also, wtf at Singleton. When did he get a green light to shoot whenever he pleases. I want RICE JR :evil:

Need to actually try to sustain a large lead in the 3rd so Nene don't have to play much.

Looks like Eric Maynor's girlfriend is avoiding this thread.

Ariza is a monster from the corner, keeping us in this game. We would be fools to trade him if the rest of the league doesn't recognize his value.

Trevor's having his best season ever, by far. On top of that, he's very important to this team defensively. I can't see why would trade him unless we get something ridiculously good in exchange.

I like how we've been getting to the line a lot (even though there are still plenty of missed calls)
