Agreed. No reason for Hump to not get a shot at this point. C'mon Witt - make an adjustment!

If Barkley recognizes that Beal isn't a ball handler, you would think Wittman should as well.

It's amazing the love that Beal continually gets on TNT. Recognize Porter!!

I can only imagine how pissed he is that he's been our best bench player throughout the regular season and can't get a minute in the playoffs.

Not saying I approve of that behavior (you support your team no matter what). Just that I think I know what's going on in his mind.


Hmm. I haven't noticed that, but he's certainly not going to earn his way off the bench by sulking and not supporting the team.

Of course, it could just be a personality thing. Some folks (e.g., Gooden) are Cliff Levingston-esque towel swingers; others are more low-key.

"The ultimate playmaker". LOL. I like Beal and all, but that was over the top.

Pierce and Porter are the reason this game is close.

At this point I don't think it's too soon to say that Porter has arrived. He's clearly figured that he belongs, he should only get better from here on out.

Porter - 9-4-3-2 in 14 minutes.

Funny how it took less than 1 minute for Kevin to **** things up :lol:

My guess is that he's not fully healthy.

If that's the case, why dress him? Something is up and I think Witt was judging players by their last 5-7 games. Hump never really had had his jumper back until the last 2 games.

Because a hobbled Hump is better than Blair.

Might be too late by then. It's nothing against GT. He has to be rusty. Then again, Butler has barely played in the postseason but he's a better 3-point shooter.
