    Boston sucks. They should be up 10.

    Other than his shot he's playing decently - getting the ball in easy scoring positions for others. Should have at least two more assists.
    But Dame? He's just coming down and shooting a defended shot without any sort of play being run.

    None of the starters outside of Kaman have done anything yet tonight. Nic isn't alone at all. Good news is if any of them do just a little in the second half then we blow this team out.

    Get used to small ball, we're going to see a lot of it for 6-8 weeks

    he's played OK but keep in mind offense counts too, 0 for 6 does not cut it with this group we now have

    "small ball" usually implies smaller guys who can shoot - I hope to see some of that in the 2nd half

    it's ironic with all the bigs injuries but our bigs easily outplayed our wings/guards

    The old blazer homesite game chats were pretty optimistic, this forum tends to draw a lot of doom and gloom. I think there's a time for criticisms but during games, I like the cheers more than the jeers

    I think we can win cause Boston sucks and I don't think Wes/Nic/Dame can/will shoot as bad as they did in the first half

    If we drop off, I wonder if Conley gets Lillard's All Star spot?

    If you've followed this team over the years, eventually you stop holding your breath in the first half..Holding a team under 50 pts is something we havent done for a long time, it's a good sign. Rolo used to get the bulk of our 1st half buckets, Nico used to get his in the 3rd qtr and Dame in the 4th..We've played really well in the 2nd halves of most games
