ridnour has his best night and that still includes dribbling the ball off his foot, throwing the ball into the stands and a push off for an offensive foul. i am scared to death to see him against a good defense in the playoffs. any tiny bit of pressure and he is toast.

strange that it took 50 games for zeller to start playing like the guy we saw in summer league. its refreshing to see one of our lottery picks other than kemba actually make a noticeable improvement on offense from the start of their rookie season to now.

can we hire a lob coach?

who else makes the - every fan and player wants to punch you in the face - team?
blake griffin, tyler hansbrough, patrick beverly and jj barea. we need one more. reggie evans?

i wouldn't mind punching Chris Bosh in the face, it would be a fun experiment to see if he lays an egg

I don't want to punch Griffin in the face. Patrick Beverley can get one, **** punk.

Not a bad choice, but hiring Suh would cost money.

Remember what Clifford said about players earning minutes during the playoff stretch and how development and seniority don't matter now. Then check out Henderson's minutes vs. Neal's. 25-25. It will be an interesting position to watch. Zeller is creeping around McRoberts as well. I would like to see Clifford reward Neal because he seems like the type of player who needs coddling and wants to feel appreciated for his contributions not stuck behind someone because he's the new guy in a pecking order. Not that anyone enjoys that type of pigeonholing but Neal seems to have a chip on his shoulder, so if Clifford can bring out the best of him, we might have solved our spacing issues.

it's mostly that he fairly clearly appears to be buzzed during the broadcast several times a year. he's not as sharp as he used to be, and sometimes that's really distracting.

Am I wrong, or did Zeller have a whole game where he didn't get his shot blocked? He seems to be figuring out what to do, and it's nice to see him having fun out there.

MKG and Zeller seems to be hitting some type of rhythm out on the court. Zeller looks fluid and seems like he's letting the game come to him. MKG is showing signs of why we drafted him. High energy and relentless player. He's been busy on the glass, mostly offensive boards as well. Almost notched another double double. He had 10 and 12 boards at Washington and today he had 10 and 9 boards in 25 minutes.

The team seems to be making an effort to get MKG the ball in situations where he can do something too. I don't think it happened tonight, but in the two games prior I believe than ran plays for him to begin each game.

The foul they called on MKG when he swatted Kevin Love was just awful.

Such a clean block but being the star that KLove is, he got the call.

authoritative win, fun to watch. Anyone else notice how Neal's passes are sort of slow and "floaty?" More rainbowed than straight line, not crisp at all - just soggy, soggy passing. Not BG bad, but I'm always relieved when the opposing team doesn't step in and swipe them.
