Yeah, the two 3 seconds for Chandler aren't pretty either
Bench is gonna have to do something.

Eh
Ryan Bowen brings energy and all that, but this “first thing off the bench” thing isn’t working

Let's see if Byron's new 2nd Quarter strategy works again.
Suck in the first.

I think we all do
He was really being aggressive near the hoop and rebounding way better than Hilton. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?

How is it possible that
Mo Pete STILL has the same injury???
by atthehive on Mar 14, 2009 8:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He doesn't.
He’s been dressed for a couple of games. Byron just “hasn’t fit him in the rotation.”
by m-W on Mar 14, 2009 8:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's not hurt, I'll bet any money.
Coach Scott has a grudge against Mo Pete, it’s the only logical reason. This is the absolute worst bench ever. Byron had D-West going the whole 1st quarter then starting the 2nd too. Now he wants to start D-West in the second and takes him out with 3 minutes left in the first but he forgot to put D-West back in.

This is ridiculous
We have arguably the worst bench in the entire NBA, and are paying a player 6 million dollars a year without even letting him come in?

I really hate to say it.
But Hilton has that helpless look in his eyes that Rasual Butler had last year. I don’t know what his issues are. But I don’t think he’s going to work it out here.

Still only -1 plus/minus. Wish more guys could say that.

I know this team isn't going to make a run in the Playoffs...
…because when you score 2 points in a quarter and the other team scores 21….you wouldn’t see Boston, LA, Cavs or Spurs have this.

I know Scott is a better coach than Del Negro...
But see how Vinny took that timeout… even though the Bulls still have an 18-point lead?
In the words of Basketbawful, I’m not sayin… I’m just sayin.
by Caleb462 on Mar 14, 2009 8:27 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, he does
Scott really needs to start limiting his minutes. He was the man for the first 1/4 of the year, maybe even first 1/2, but he’s been garbage lately. I don’t know if he’s just tired or what… but playing him 30 a night is not helping.
by Caleb462 on Mar 14, 2009 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Another timeout from Vinny
Again, very smart
by atthehive on Mar 14, 2009 8:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
But luckily they haven't helped Chicago
Atleast CP3 helped the team put together a run. 14 down at half actually sounds nice compared to what it looked like it might have been. I still say we win this.

Yeah what the hell Byron...
I wish I had his phone number. I’d say “Hey jackass! Yeah, I called you to call you a jackass. Also, put Mo Pete in the game. He’s sort of good.”

I almost spit out my drink.
Like that guy in Happy Gilmore? “You suck, you Jackass!”
by m-W on Mar 14, 2009 8:43 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
Mo is only shooting 41% on threes. Devin Brown, on the other hand, is connecting on a stellar 29%, so it only makes sense that he should be taking 10 times as many threes as Mo.
by atthehive on Mar 14, 2009 8:41 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well Byron's old school.
He doesn’t like those new-fangled “stats”. Doesn’t believe in them. If you just work hard, then you must be good. What more could you need?

I’ve heard Devin Brown can pull a loaded dump truck with his teeth.

The Hornets should start drafting players out of the strongman competition
Hey, maybe those guys can rebound? At the very least they’d always be good for a nice hard foul.

Posey should just drop his gloves and take someone out. We need that kind of fire. If Peja comes back we’ll be fine without him for a few.
