Monty has to be one of the worst coaches in the league. I know I rip on him all the time but coaches arent supposed to randomly throw in players hoping someone gets hot, they are supposed to run plays and strategize so that their team will thrive. Cabarkapa is playing like garbage and his horrible defense is causing the entire team to commit fouls.
Good comeback before the half. The Warriors are a pesky bunch. We are growing as a team at a tremendous rate. Night and Day.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kensaku:</div><div class="quote_post"> I don't see anything wrong with him trying to find some hidden treasure in what was becoming a very lethargic effort by the W's.</div> I guess we can agree to disagree but he should be calling plays rather than just letting the players do whatever. Especially when he throws out a lineup of Miles/Fisher/Cheany/Zarko/Foyle, that is very little offense and no one who can create their own shots. A lineup like that shouldnt be in a game when its close in my opinion, how about trying to post up Baron, post up Diogu, just plain take advantage of mismatches (like they did with Zarko guarding Ely and Dun guarding Wallace) Oh and not to mention learning from your opponents. We should be using the Kings strategy and pack in the lane and dont jump on pumpfakes. Just get a few guys in the key tell them to not jump at anything and just keep their hands up and force the Cats to shoot. This isnt a secret or anything, its common basketball strategy but apparently Monty cant figure it out.
Foyle is showing some toughness with the two blocks and offensive rebound right after. Little Dun is umm....little dun

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kensaku:</div><div class="quote_post">You're just overthinking a 5 minute span in the 2nd quarter. I wouldn't worry about it. </div> Well its a close game. Maybe that 5 minutes of no production will end up having been important in the outcome of the game. I'm going to assume it wont but the Bobcats arent going away. On a more positive note, Foyle is having a great game, hes also having a good season in my opinion. He hasnt been playing all that much but hes rebounding very well this year and he isnt dropping many passes.

I dont like this new version of ESPN Gamecast. It has too much going on. And it says Diogu just missed 2 FTs in a row?! That cant be right! Plus no one on our team can score!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting wtwalker77:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm not able to watch the game, is anything wrong with Dunleavy or is it just foul trouble?</div> Foul trouble but he's not asserting himself like last game. I thought he got off to a great start with three (very nice) assists in the 1st quarter, but he kind of fell off the radar after getting two quick fouls...
Does anyone see shades of Dennis Rodman (rebounding) in Biedrins? His defense isn't quite there, but he's been very impressive with both offensive and defensive rebounding.
