If only there were a way to mute Cage and leave Fisher on.

Adams sucks

The whole team kind of sucks defensively right now. Adams has stone hands. The “good” defenders on this team foul too much. Ferguson, Diallo, Muscala and Nader probably don’t belong in the nba. We just haven’t been very fun to watch lately.

Just can’t hit free throws or finish at the rim right now.

Couple of frustrating games these last two. It kind of ended up being a contest of who has the best wing players who can shoot and score with consistency and we are going to lose that most times with the lineup of wings Presti has put together. I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what Ferguson does or how bad of a stretch of games he has they simply will never give up on him. That's 2 games with 44 minutes played and 0 points. I just don't get it and I guess I never will what it is they see in guys like him and Roberson. I don't see any other teams out there trying to play wing players that are good on defense but can't shoot and score, especially with the way the NBA is these days being much more perimeter oriented. Can somebody explain to me why the hell they got rid of Jeremy Grant?

I don’t want to get in to a debate about Roberson but I will say that the difference between Ferguson and Roberson is that Ferguson isn’t actually good at defense. He’s a fouling machine. Even last night when he only had one foul, it was on a three point shooter. Watching Ferguson and Roberson fight through screens is night and day.

Roberson was considered an elite defender before he got injured. Could have been DPOY. Ferguson is an average defender at best.

Our team is just bull **** right now. They look very discombobulated on offense and no one can make anything. Will probably turn around to a greater or lesser degree in the rest of the regular season, but this is a bit of a reality check about how the playoffs are likely to go.

Just a bad game vs the Spurs. Throw it in the loss column and move on. All teams have them. A few days ago some fans were worried they might win too many games (draft pick).
Its like Bill Parcells said, Every Monday (day after games) in the NFL you either are going to the Superbowl or you may not win another game this season.
