He's been guarding Nene since the first possession of the game.

I thought somebody said Lee was guarding him.

Opposite teams almost always put their best big man defender on Nene even if it means a 6'9'' PF (Lee) on Gortat. Now Gortat has Green on him, and still can't score

Gortat couldn't take advantage of me on him. I should have figured Lee was on Gortat. Spent too much time reading this message board and less time watching the game.

[miller31time]

Said it to myself at the time and it looks like it might end up being true -- turning point of this game was the bobbled pass to Beal in the corner. He would have nailed that three had he caught the pass because he was on fire and taking confident shots.

Then the next possession, Wall throws an errant pass to Ariza when he was wide open on the ally-oop.

Could have really stretched the lead.

[80sballboy]

If I see one more f-ing player fade away on his jumper, I'm switching to Leno.

[Illmatic21]

Here we go with the Wall panic jumpshots..

[Brazil88]

That's it I'm done with Gortat. Let him go. He's one of the worst defenders at 7'0'' tall, soft and for such a bad defensive player he's not that great on offense.

[Jimmy Recard]

That's it John, settle for the long two

[80sballboy]

It's the Nene factor. When he's not in the game, John goes 1 and 1 and there's no flow.

[nuposse04]

Gortat got stuffed by Klay...wow. Get this polish POS outta here.

[GhostsOfGil]

Can we talk about how a 6'3 guard just blocked Gortat on one of the softest big man takes ever seen in the NBA.

He's a serviceable big man. I'm not done with Gortat. I just accept him for what he is.

[hands11]

They are going to kill us with this small lineup. Get Gortat out. Put Vesely in or Booker at center. Oh well, I forgot who our coach was.

This is what a rudderless ship look like.

No one out there believes in this offense.

[nuposse04]

Curry flop. Awesome.

The tune will change when the Wiz pay him 48 million dollars.

[nate33]

Meh, I kind of like that he waived of the high screen. Sometimes, I think it complicates things to always run a screen and roll. Just isolate Wall when he has a bad defender on him.

[stevemcqueen1]

Refs are letting GS get away with some pretty terrible picks.

[nate33]

Finally trying to exploit matchups. If Iggy is going to guard Wall, then pound it into Webster who has Curry on him.

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Wall went from playing great to awful in what's speed. Gortats been a softy all game long. FREE Ves. Lol 12-0 run why beg my pardon have one of your own.

Thompson is 6'7 but, yeah... no excuse.

I'd be more willing to "accept him for what he is" if he didn't cost us a 1st round pick and 10+mil per year (coming up).

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

Webster you dummy....
