    Batum looks like a superstar in this first half. So impressive

    Martell is a guy who had to hire a sports psychologist because of confidence issues ... but you're right, suggesting he might be thinking too much is crazy talk.

    Batum finishes with 16 points in the 1st half, playing only 14 minutes and shooting a perfect 7 of 7, with a couple of rebounds and a steal and a block. We would be totally embarassed if Nic wasn't playing.
    That said, we are still down 17. Jeez. We're gonna need a big 2nd half from a bunch of our guys to win this one.

    Aldridge and Webster need to hit their shots, and we'll be back in a hurry.

    Yeah, and that wide open 3-pointer air ball that was about a foot short....Does he usually shoot 'em like that?

    Oh, I didn't know Bayless got a technical. Was that after Batum dunked and got fouled and the refs swallowed their whistles? That was a good technical to take, wish some of our other players would do such...

    Batum is the man. LA is just not getting it done.

    And we must play some D. Crowd the middle and stop their constant penetration. The jazz are shooting over 70 %. Holy crap.

    I hate it, but I would look to our zone some more in the second half.

    Spurs, Nuggets, and Grizzlies won tonight. Thunder and Rockets lost. Oh man, the West is just too tough.

    I hope this ends the Miller/Bayless pairing experiment.

    Batum has a career high of 20 points. Anyone else think he's going to break that tonight? :ghoti:

    This whole everyone is injured thing is starting to get annoying. I'm tired of playing games undermanned.

    Take solace in the fact that Blake was benched after only 6 minutes of dumb play.

    He's been trying to find a combination that works sense all of his players are getting blown out. You're reaching.
