    I don't think you can deny that they have a very talented roster.

    Admitting they have a talented roster and anointing them contenders is such a leap it isn't even funny!

    Seriously, they're a very balanced, very overpowering lineup.

    We're a jigsaw puzzle of talent, still in the box.

    True. I do think they have a slight chance to make the playoffs though.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they have a better record than us on Turkey Dinner Day.

    I've come to the conclusion that absinthe is very popular to some.

    Okafor is better than Chandler.

    Harvey's "analysis" is trash.

    This game seems to lend credence to the theory that Miller does not fit well with the first unit and that Blake does not fit well with the second unit. I think it's more important to focus on which units these players fit with than on how talented they are compared to each other. And it's something I imagine the coaches will keep looking at.

    It's time to start thinking about moving Roy. He doesn't mesh well with Miller.

    I just saw a little bit of the highlights.

    Blake Griffin looks like a bulky SF. He's so much shorter than I thought.

    Just got back from the game and needless to say it was the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time. But in an effort to stay positive, here are the good things I did see tonight:

    Well whatever it is, it sure is minor. Webster was doing some crazy shots in pregame warmup, that guys got hops. He didn't look injured at all.

    Thanks for your in-depth analysis. It really brings what we heard on the radio into context. :clap:

    That's why I always compare him to Corliss Williamson and Rodney Rogers.

    Here are NBA.com's highlights of the game

    The Oden stuff block was nice, as was the Batum-shakalaka jam. I also enjoyed the Aldridge to Roy back door find. But other than those, the video is more like lowlights for our team.

    Wow.. Telfair looked like a version of Sergio that actually has the physical tools to be a good passing PG.

    went to the game last night, what a shit.

    I thought Roy moved well. He has to do less work with Miller in there. Didn't do much but I liked his movements, looked very nimble.

    Miller did kind of suck it though. Did not run an offense, took a lot of shots himself. Alot of plays where no one else touched the ball.

    They did not run any plays through the post really.

    Bayless was terrible.

    So many turnovers, such sloppy play. boo.
