    Third game in a row our starters can rest in the 4th quarter. What an up and down season so far.

    his career mark is .335; last 2 seasons about .370. This year it's .280. by far the lowest since his rookie season. That's a cost of playing Dame off the ball

    Our defense is one game good one game bad. But I’ll sure as hell take that over every game bad.

    Best bench we’ve had in long time! Or maybe we have a coach who gives bench confidence.

    nance and Zeller extremely smart team players. Really impressed with these two guys

    It still irrationally irritates me that Elleby is actually on this roster. I know it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. But it’s the principle. That spot could’ve went to someone useful like Marquese Chriss.

    Not really even about his slump I just think nance might be a better fit with the starters than Roco

    I disagree with that. I think it's myth. The few times that Stotts was actually given a viable Backup PG, he gave the guys minutes: Eric Maynor, Mo Williams, Steve Blake. Olshey has simply refused to add one till this season and I'd bet that Billups pushed for Smith

    Nurk is better than both of them.

    Man, I am so glad they didn’t blow a 26 point lead to one of the worst teams. Can’t imagine the salty tears.

    Small sample size, but this defense held the league’s #1 offense to 96 points and the league’s leading scorer to half of his average.

    Step in the right direction.
