I mean I enjoy watching the games and seeing players like PG and Turner perform, it just doesn't affect me as much when they lose. 

I was just expecting to be playing Cavs in ecf this year not be 8th seed..I know we were never gonna win, but it would be fun to at least be there..Like u said in the end it doesn't matter..95% Chance it's Cavs vs Warriors 3rd year in a row..

[RockThatBlue]

Two very bad losses back to back.

They should be together by now, we are halfway through the season and they've been together for quite a few months now. I don't think that excuse can be used anymore. 

You can deny it but it is what it is.....we have players who were on 5 other teams last year..and 2 of them start

Being impatient doesnt change reality..

The passing of time doesnot help you play together better,. Only playing together does that.

We'll get better but Cleveland, Toronto and Washington have core players who have been together for 2 or 3 years.

 

Remember this the next time somebody calls for wholesale changes or to 'blow it up and start over

Basketball is continuity and playing together.

WE cant possibly have that every night at this point, especially on defense, because our guys haven't played together as long as the other guys.

That's just basketball

Tonight's loss isn't surprising. The Jazz are 29-16 this season and are Good and are always tough to beat at home. Having said that this season has been a huge disappointment so far. I had us being a #2 Seed in the East only behind the Cavs when the season started. 22-21 isn't cutting it. There for a minute it looked like we were turning the corner with 7 of 8 wins, now it's back to playing Bad again on the road. Regarding PG, I have feeling he doesn't like this Coach or the Chemistry of this team because he looked Good for the most part last season and was Great against the Raptors in the Playoffs.

Time to trade him, he is gonna leave us high and dry anyways..He is that guy, and we aren't competing with him...

Paul George isn't going to west coast..it isn't time to trade him.

With the new labor agreement..we can pay him FAR MORE than anyone else can

Be patient...

 

..we aren't trading our best player

I'm just p'd off you're right..We gotta do something Though . .McMillan ain't the right coach, that much is obvious...Maybe fire him and hire Mark Jackson, and hope he can turn this ship around before playoffs..

[oldunclemark]

Me, too.  It is frustrating....especially the game against the Lakers..

...they aren't even trying to make the playoffs...they don't care a lot if they win.

 

..and we couldn't stay with them..it was embarrassing

[RockThatBlue]

Bird is pretty frustrated. I wonder if hes looking to make moves before the deadline.

good stuff....Thanks Rock

[Bluefire4]

Paul George is definitely leaving when his contract expires. He knows he's not good enough to be the best player on a championship team. He needs set up like a Klay Thompson. He doesn't drive or draw fouls and then complains about when the ref doesn't call it the one time he does drive.

[RockThatBlue]

Yikes...the Mavs just beat the Lakers by 49 points.

 

The same Lakers squad that pretty much manhandled us a few nights ago.

[RockThatBlue]

PG with a strong start.

[Luck is Good]

Not a very good 2nd qtr by the Pacers. Up by 12 at the end of the 1st qtr and now it's up in the air. Man this would be a bad loss

[RockThatBlue]

Almost seems like the Pacers quit after the first quarter. They were good in that quarter, but flat out awful since.

[RockThatBlue]

Come on Pacers. Get some stops.

[MTC]

Save us Myles Turner.

 

P.S. I love his dad's energy. 

[oldunclemark]

100-97.......I dont know why it takes so long to get rolling at home.

 

..but PG and Myles put together some stops in a row...Knicks seem rattled

[MTC]

Anyone who pays Rose a max contract (or even HALF of that) is insane. He's WASHED!

[oldunclemark]

good pass by Monta...CJ just missed a wide open game-tying sot

[oldunclemark]

Rose is giving us every chance

[oldunclemark]

Myles Turner looks like Dekeme  Motombo out there

[oldunclemark]

Larry doesn't get excited, does he?

 

Maybe 'cause its the Knicks..and we were down 17

[2006Coltsbestever]

What a game/comeback, I haven't heard a crowd this loud in a long time!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Damn, down 3 now. PG needs to step up here.

[oldunclemark]

The help on Melo came to the wrong side...make him fade on the baseline...

[RockThatBlue]

3 point game. Have to win this, you can't lose to a bad knicks team.

[RockThatBlue]

Ellis hurt.

[oldunclemark]

Monta's hurt but he's got to make 2..then he can go sit

[2006Coltsbestever]

Made both, only down 1 now. Nice Ellis!

Not the same since those injuries for sure.

[oldunclemark]

I'm guessing we could not sub Monta after the FTs....But I dont know why?

[oldunclemark]

    Melo vs. PG.........He drew that foul

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yes he missed 1! Knicks up 2, Pacers ball.

[oldunclemark]

Big miss by Melo..103-101..

Lets get CJ Miles in there......

 

whoa..why did Melo foul PG??

[2006Coltsbestever]

Knock em down Paul! Got both, tie game.

[oldunclemark]

Blunder by Melo..no reason to give us 2

[2006Coltsbestever]

Melo got the mismatch and took advantage of it there, down by 2 again. A 3 would be nice here.

[oldunclemark]

   Good shot by Melo there....we needed help faster after that switch...but we've got a shot to win or tie

[oldunclemark]

     Good pass..Myles just dropped it
