Mikky Moore has 20 pts? 

That was a huge no call.![]()
those are the calls that kevin martin would usually get
here's that dumb fourth quarter play
better make that 'plays.' This is where the inexperience shows of our team. Yeah, its frustrating, yeah, its ridiculous, but hey. Its going to be part of the rebuilding process. I like the heart and hustle they've shown so far.here's that dumb fourth quarter play

Why did Brad Miller cave into the Suns' run-and-gun game and attempt 7 three pointers, not surprisingly only hitting one of them?
That's a recipe for disaster.
Brad Miller is as good a 3 pt shooter as anyone we have left (not injured). The defense was giving him the shot. He is supposed to take it. Also, there were a couple of times that he recognized that time was running out, so was forced to take the shot.
I know Jerry keeps on shoveling that stuff and obscuring the issue, but entirely apart from your seven foot weenie entirely taking himself out of the basketball game and all possible rebounding position to chuck up guard-shots, he's 10-41 on the season from three, which is less than 25% and a gigantic STOP sign to a smart basketball player.
Indeed.
Wonder how many three pointers Kendrick Perkins chucks up? (answer 0 btw, and KG, who has at least Brad's range, has taken 5 -- remarkable how they manage to win without their big men standing outside chucking up clunkers?)
But it should actually be the rah rah types jumping ship -- if the idea is to deny any and all flaws its much more reasonable to do it with a great team playing smart than a bad one playing like idiots.
I personally don't mind Brad taking 3's. 7 in a game is excessive when his shot is off but I think Brad from that corner would be a good way to use him for a couple shots a game. We aren't talking about anything more than a jumpshooter here so why not get him used to taking those shots.
Few weeks back, David Thorpe had written an article analyzing Shaq in his younger days. Per him, the lack of any kind of jumpshot, made Shaq better, since it forced him to play near the basket. Same is true with DW now.
Brad having a decent mid range game is actually bad for the team, since this is not what we want the big man to do. Of course, whether he can play around the basket effectively for a full season is another matter.
we go from being 12-14 to 11-18
that denver game really killed us
