    Awful officiating, sure - but what is with these "plays" McMillan is drawing up down the stretch of games this week? We have had three straight games where in the final minutes we've gone at least 2 minutes without a score. That's unacceptable.

    Hey Nate, you see Rudy hitting all of those treys to give you a chance after Blake and company had thrown up a bunch of bricks? Maybe we should run more screen plays for him?

    3 straight losses. It'll probably be 4 tomorrow.

    Lol you sound ridiculous. Hilarious.

    Blake was easily the best PG tonight. Shame on Nate for playing him only 6 more minutes than Miller who was terrible, and 3 more than Bayless who was just decent. Blake otoh had a great game.

    This place is ridiculous sometimes. Blind hatred.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Once again, a single quarter does them in. That will likely be their destiny for as long as Roy is out...a team that can fight it out with anyone most of the game, but has one prolonged stretch of the game where they can't score.

    Yup, that must be it. How blind of me to prefer a guy who can make the defense collapse and kick it out over a guy who has choked more than once in the fourth.

    It's not blind at all.

    It's out in the open for all to see: I HATE BLAKE.

    Blake, Webster and Bayless should all be on the trading block.

    You're too much...

    All season long the fans have been clamoring for Nate to play the hot hand. But when the hot hand is Blake, all of a sudden it's not a good idea?

    And? I guess you are not understanding that Bayless makes it easier for people when he drives and kicks it out to a guy like Rudy who would have loved that opportunity with how he was playing. When Blake drives he usually turns it over.

    I had no issue with Blake tonight btw. This loss was coming from a mile off.

    I agree. I was just trying to be funny ... some of the arguments over player x and player y just don't matter. Everybody had issues tonight.
