    We’re a damned good jump shooting team.

    We don’t need Jimmy Butler. Adding Sauce and Seth and having ET play point forward solidified our bench. We will be a title contender if Collins develops the way I think he will.

    They basically played one good quarter and 3 mediocre ones.

    I'm just frustrated because he's better than this. And it's like his role on the team isn't registering or he's doesn't realize how bad his play is.

    Given the very limited minutes he has received (tough to get much of a rhythm), I'm not sure what more Stotts could expect from him.

    The offensive was good from 1st and 2nd unit. All the fouls tonight what kept NO in the game. But again we gave up to many offense rebounds. Aminu not bad and Nurk not bad but Layman is not good rebounder for his position. I think that what we miss Harkless is his rebounding and defense.

    We did NOT play well, I don’t care what the stats say that was ugly, and very reminiscent of the Wizards game. Only difference was Morris decided to steal Mirotic’s shooting ability for that game and Mirotic hasn’t gotten it back yet

    I’d say play him more but I’m ok with gradual development as long as he eventually gets more minutes.

    Our defensive efficiency is pretty much identical compared to last year..

    Defense yes but Hark did not rebound well last year. (2.7 per game). He started to rebound better this year but I wonder if that is because he played mostly PF to start this season.

    You've been throwing around the "hater" term more than anyone else.

    Swanigan had some man boards tonight, boards I know Meyers wouldn’t have even been in position to grab. And it might just be me, but he looks better moving laterally defensively. He’s still slow, but it’s not as bad as I remember.

    Evan Turner the point guard is a lot better than Evan Turner the floor spacer.
