    Batum needed more minutes.

    Well it's apparent that we are not as good without both our starting shooting guard and small forward.

    Tough game for Travis...he's a love/hate player even when his tough shots are dropping...when he shoots like tonight it's damn painful to watch.

    I think the worst thing about Travis is, if he's not hitting, he is absolutely useless. Utterly and massively useless.

    I really doubt they're a trade, but in a way, it might just be the kick in the ass the team needs. Hopefully it's a Mark Aguirre trade, and not a Walter Davis trade.

    We actually outscored LA 20-19 in the fourth. I couldn't tell with Travis bricking, Frye dribbling off his leg, and us playing stupid.

    Biggest surprises of the night:
    Nicolas Batum: Where have you been since the Detroit game a month ago?
    Bayless: 4 assists and 0-4 shooting (but hey at least he gets to the line).

    Bayless should not be playing the 2 unless Roy is the point. Sergio and Blake are not big enough threats to loosen the D for JB. Just let Bayless run point until Brandon returns, its the only way he will get better.

    "Boston sucks!" because they passed Boston in the standings with this win.

    Someone transcribe the Bobby Knight tirade, hand it to Nate and tell him to go at it

    So who plays SG then? I don't like the Sergio/Bayless tandem either, but it's tough with Roy out.
