    a couple of positive thoughts on a frustrating night:

    rudy looks like he's back in a groove and i hope miller's meltdown means he gets more burn.

    speaking of miller, good lord was he terrible. time for the "iron man" to sit for a while. hopefully those ankles he turns every 5 minutes are feeling sore. but the silver lining is that we can perhaps go back to a more traditional lineup and give minutes to bayless. i tried to give miller the benefit of the doubt, but i think i've seen enough to know he's unlikely to work out here. so here's to the rotation consolidating a bit.

    I don't think Eric is trolling. I think we have some trolls on this board, but Eric isn't one of them.

    excuses, excuses; he was right there under the hoop and little guys were outhustling him for the ball

    in 2007, we defied the odds and won the #1 pick and we jumped for joy; Oden has severaly underwhelmed but because people can't bear to hate on Oden and admit that, they hate EVERYONE else: Blake, the refs, Nate, David Stern, Roy, etc. The hate is severely displaced; it's amazing

    Is anyone else hoping the Roy as a SF, and 2 PG's in the starting 5 LSD inspired experiment ends soon?

    Roy is a horrible SF (compared to his game as a SG).

    He's averaging 17 or so points as the SF. I don't think that the wins were because he took one for the team either. The offense is too predictable with Blake AND Miller in the starting 5. And Roy has to play against players who are taller than him.

    Our offense is pretty predictable and while it's "efficient", it's efficient like a Geo Metro is fuel efficient, but a Corvette is far more fun to drive and harder to beat in a race (phoenix, btw, is like a lambo).

    Dude... Oden was DOMINANT tonight. The Warriors could not stop him.

    How on Earth could you blame this loss at all on Oden?

    Roy shot 6-17. Blake shot 2-9. Miller had seven turnovers. Aldridge only played 27 minutes.

    Those things aren't Oden's fault.

    You pretty much hit all the highlights. I have to add Nate was pretty bad too, his rotations really played right into Nellie's hands. Blake got pressured all night long by active physical defenders and could create nothing inside (probably because he's actually a 6'3" shooting guard who can't hit shots right now) Roy just couldn't get anything going after the first quarter, and for God's sake Juwan should never have been anywhere near this game. This contest called for athletes and guys with some ability to put GS on their heels and he is just not that guy; Dante at least shows some hustle and energy.

    Oh well, yet another loss in Oracle. What's new.

    6 rebounds (only a measly 3 on the defensive end of the court) against a Warriors team with no Turiaf or Biedrins is NOT dominant.

    Andre Miller was horrid, but god dammit, at least he only played 18 minutes. Steve Blake played 36 godawful minutes that were mostly spent bricking wide open jumpshots.

    I used to assume you were just a borderline crazy fan, now I know you're nothing but a simple troll. You're doing awesome by the way, you've once again completely fouled a game thread and gotten everyone to bite (admittedly myself included).

    Have a nice night watching reruns of Bones, reliving the glory days.

    Blake grabbed as many defensive rebounds as the "dominant" Oden. Does that make Blake dominant too?

    It's amazing that Miller got paid 7 million dollars for 18 minutes of work.

    You can't stand someone having a different outlook than you so you resort to personal attacks. Nice.
