Lethargy... everything we had the other night is missing tonight. Doesn't help that the place is tomblike as far as crowd participation is concerned. Plus, our backcourt has trouble stopping the chair juggernaut that is the Bobcats.

Too give Bobcats some credit, they do swarm on defense are active...way more active than us on defense.

My bad, 11. It was 17. I'm just saying the doubters need to chill, this game is far from over. The Bobcats are bad enough for us to beat.

Absolutely in reach. Just need to feed Cousins. Jefferson is one of the worst defenders in the league.

Utah game all over again other team can't miss, we need Rudy to score he's made some nice passes but sloppy with the ball and I'm loving Cousins not a single jump shot and nice passing just putting on a post clinic. Would also be nice to see more D-Will out there.
Or maybe it's HER fault.

definitely if Rudy and some of the others decide to show up.
and Jimmer doesn't step on the floor again
We're also bad enough for them to beat.

I won't agree without seeing the stats but the SGs are the worst. I suspect you are right, though. HUGE hole at both guard positions on defense. Am I stating the obvious?

If people are realistic, we hold that status until it is clearly proven otherwise especially on the road.
Where's Rudy, BTW??

Could this be a game Marcus Thornton can explode in maybe instead of bringing Jimmer back?

By "big"do you mean Cuz, JT, and Acy? Wow!
Yep, those are the 3 I didn't count, they are shooting 10-13 combined.

At least it's a fair game. People are acting like we're playing the Heat.

Cousins 7-9
Everybody else 8-32
BTW, its very cute playing Acy and all coach, but as soon as you did that, they went right to the front of the rim, and nobody but Cousins can shoot on our side. We do have another big guy now you know. Played quite well last time he saw the court.

More importantly, 2-13 from Gay and IT. Those guys have got to stay in the 45-50% range for us to be in games
I'd suggest playing McLemore and Williams as a unit at this point -- when one of them is on the floor, so is the other. Both of them look like different players when they can play off each other. And both of them tend to float around the perimeter doing nothing when IT or Gay is holding the ball.

Maybe we should calm down and enjoy a great game from a budding star. I will. He's amazing.

I hope that means to bring them off the bench. The pressure needs to be taken off Ben as he doesn't react well to pressure. So it seems. I think the reverse is true of IT and probably has a lot to do with the affection people have for him.

Many folks who cover the Nba across the country believed that Ben was going to be in the running for rookie of the year
Probably that means they both come off the bench. We don't have a rangy defensive SG to take his place in the starting lineup right now, so it's a bad situation regardless, but I think we should do something to get him some of his confidence back. Ben's development is still important to the future of this team whichever direction we choose to go from here.
