    Camara has been brutal shooting tonight but I appreciate him still shooting with confidence, keep shooting.

    I believe that is another knock on Chauncey…

    Someone needs to tell Sharpe he needs to be more aggressive earlier in the game ... if we had a good coach that should be Billups but since he sucks then not sure who the hell would do it.

    Since I seem to be beating a dead horse btw the corpse of said horse would do a better job then Billups so I am done saying it but please Fire Billups for the sake of Scoot , Sharpe and others this needs to happen ASAP.

    Our offense is the Boston weave at the top of the key and chuck up a three pointer. No cutters to the hoop and we need better three point shooters to run that offense

    He was. He's shooting 40% for the season now.

    They've been trying for years. His lack of aggressiveness is on him, not the coaches.

    Dalano Banton has free reign to take any shot he wants, you don't think Sharpe does too?

    He was shooting 41.5% before the game tonight. The freakout after going 1-7 is kind of a bit of an overreaction.

    B-Roy are you really defending Billups ? -- yes part of this is on Sharpe but a good coach would either tell him step up or bench his ass until he did what is needed

    The NBA really needs to tell the refs to stop calling these low contact fouls. The league has gotten so soft & it’s a big reason why people are watching less & less.

    Banton is a designated Point Guard. He's got the ball in his hands by default. Sharpe doesn't .

    So point guards have free reign to shoot any shot they want, got it.

    Just give Sharpe the ball like we did at the end of his Rookie season. Sharpe had no problem handling that.

    It's Billups that's running the offense through Avdija , Banton and so on.

    This is a loss that there will be nothing, other than Block Lobster keeping his streak alive, that they can hang their hats on.

    Not that Houston isn't a much better team, but this is just a team that showed up.
