[Glenn]

Can somebody please explain to me why TRAVIS OUTLAW is currently in the game?

He has some pictures of Smart in a compromising situation.

He'll at least pass the ball? That was a pretty nice dish he just served up to DFC...and he at least made an effort for the steal.

Those "clowns" are Sacramento Kings. You're sounding more like a troll than a lot of our former trolls.

ya because our amazing ownership and GM have given us a great collection of NBA talent.....

 

[1234kings]

poor cousins, his teammates are not making anything. ruining those good assists

 

[The_Jamal]

Just a really lackluster effot defensivly from everyone. The defensive intensity we've seen the last few weeks hasn't shown up tonight and that's why we're getting blown out

oh stop it my goodness

 

[Glenn]

i would be happy to tell u, but VF21 would get mad at me for hating on the coach

Grow up.

 

[LWP777]

This game is over. It just wasn't our night tonight.

 

[The_Jamal]

wow how can u defend smart. it IS his fault. he does the same freaking thing to start the 2nd quarter EVERY GAME. with the SAME result every time.

The game isn't decided in a 6 min stretch. The team defense blows tonight. From everybody.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

He has some pictures of Smart in a compromising situation.

thats really the only explination for it.

its bad enough that he was put in the game in the first place. the fact that Smart is leaving him in after his performance so far is almost as curious as the fact that Garcia is back in......

Are you serious? Besides that one pass he's chucked every time he's touched it

 

[rainmaker]

The only young bigs in recent memory who had this kind of talent were Webb, KG and Duncan, HOF talent. Still can't believe I saw people wanting to trade Cuz only a couple weeks ago. This talent was always there to those who looked. He's just putting it to use now.

essentially yes its not decided in 6 minutes. but its kinda lame when every single game, the first 5-6 minutes of the second quarter puts you in a double digit hole. not helpful when your on the road in Brooklyn

 

[VF21]

I didn't say it was a GOOD reason.

Point 1: Telling you that you are a broken record is different than defending Smart.
Point 2: If you were paying attention, I went to quite a bit of trouble during yesterday's game thread to run some numbers, and it turned out that (as of yesterday) we were only marginally worse in the second quarter than in the first or the third. Yes, we end up resting all the starters at the beginning of the 2nd. We know this. It isn't a disaster every time.

There are two people we need good play from to be a good team. One is currently playing amazing, the other is coming back on Monday. Can't wait to see them both playing as until then any time we win is a bonus in my eyes.

 

[1234kings]

rebound the damn ballllll!!!!!!!! fughhhhhhhhhh

Exactly. If both DFC and Reke play up to their potential, a lot of the whining and crying around here is going to miraculously disappear.

 

[LWP777]

Well, I was right about the Nets shooting 32% in the 2nd half.....

 

[theclash4u5]

Anyone who wants us to trade Cousins.

Just stop.

Could you IMAGINE this team without Cousins? And what happens if Evans signs elsewhere and we don't want to match? Good lord...it would be a worse roster than the Kevin Martin led disaster from a few seasons ago.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

We know this. It isn't a disaster every time.

when was the last time it wasnt a disaster?

 

[LWP777]

Why is TRob such a horrible finisher around the basket? It seems like he even misses dunks a lot

 

[HereWeBoogie]

DeMarcus threw his towl at IT on the bench lol. it appeared to be in a joking manner. which is nice to see considering the state of the game right now, its nice to see him in a joking mood still

 

[HereWeBoogie]

my brain hurts trying to figure out why Outlaw and Garcia are getting playing time over Honeycutt right now

Losing both Cousins and Evans next year would be essentially buying a whole pack of tickets for the Andrew Wiggins Sweepstakes.

Could be that Honeycutt is really really bad.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Yesterday.

 

[VF21]

when was the last time it wasnt a disaster?

The two games we won on this road trip alone?

 

[cuad]

Yes, it's Honeycutt time!

 

[spudfan]

Come on Jimmer, pass the ball. You shouldn't go end to end and then take a contested shot.
