You can get it free on league pass until Nov 11
If you’re using firefox, just type in on the address bar: nba league pass
It should direct you there.

That should have been a high percentage shot considering the shooter,
but in a 5 on 3 situation traditionally they should have gone in attack mode and got to the basket for a higher percentage shot. It seems like a lot of our shots so far have not been the best shot possible.

That's partially true.
He did enough to legally avoid the guy. When Mayo has to lean into him, I think that means Luol got around him. The guy called the charge from the side. Should have been a block.

I love how Deng constantly gets outclassed . . .
Whenever he goes up against an elite small forward. Too bad he gets paid like one himself.
This is just a bunch of ill-fitting parts, other than Rose. Other than maybe Thomas and Noah (and even those two are debatable), everyone else on this team is a spare part.
by Big D on Nov 1, 2008 8:36 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
He doesn't get paid like an elite small forward.
LeBron james, Carmelo Anthony, Richard Jefferson, Peja, Paul Pierce, Andre Iguodola.Lamar Odom, Andrei Kirilenko, Rashard Lewis, Shawn Marion can be included. Soon, Rudy Gay will pass. Beasley eventually will. Marvin Williams might.
He gets paid the same as Tayshaun Prince, Josh Howard, Danny Granger, and that seems about right based on past performance and expected future returns.
I’m not seeing how that’s “elite” when at least a third of the league is making more.

What is clear now.
Rose is great. The team is not so great. The year should be used for figuring out who is useful next to Rose. The rest can leave. They are poorly put together and can’t overcome that with the kind of chemistry and hard work that got them where they were two years ago despite the physical things they lacked. And even in that best situation they only one 49 games. Things have caught up with them.

I gotta say it, too:
I’d be a lot more confident if we had Mike D’Antoni than this glorified announcer who seems – to the best of my knowledge – to stare stonily into the distance while Del Harris draws plays, talks to refs, and takes care of that “coaching” thing.
What a joke. No experience. Not as an assistant. Not in college. Not in high school. Not his daughter’s fifth grade team.
Want to know why they’re so disorganized? No mystery there.

He seems to be constantly standing up during the game. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an assistant coach stand up as much as he does. It’s like what van Gundy said last night – why is Del Harris getting technical fouls? VDN is the head coach, he’s the one who should be dealing with the refs.

Tyrus if you keep shooting like this, I'm going to have to borrow your namesake's
sleeping pills. He seems to be totally psyched out, rushing his shots and even missing the rim on layups. Thank God Deng and Gordon have been on fire. That was really impressive when 2 Grizzlies crashed into each other and layed spraweled out at the opposing baseline, and Ben pulled up on a 5 on 3 to take some wild ass shot.
Someone tell me this nightmare will soon end. I’m watching the game feed on Dish Network free on one of the NBA channel 568. If TT was playing this craptastic with the previous coaches (unnamed), Larry Hughes would get playing time before he saw the hardcourt again.

Sure he did.
And even if they weren’t going up against OJ Mayo and Quentin Ross, 1 out of 3 isn’t good enough.

Thomas can draw fouls at least. Don't look pretty though.

He has no confidence in his ability to drive by someone.
Or his post game. If he could get confidence in one of those, it would be great.

He needs to get them scared of him with some monster slams.
Actually, I’d like to see some monster slams. Perhaps an unrelated request. :) He seemed to do a lot of that in his first year than now. Not sure why.

Holy moly
this teams gonna give me split personalities.
The key was Rose being aggressive, however. He took control of this game, and the other guys played within themselves.
