    Babbitt, our 2nd best player!

    If that doesn't make you long for the sweet embrace of oblivion, nothing will.

    Well thank God the team gets to preserve their "great second half team" label. That Nate sure does know how to make some adjustments ... mostly it seems to revolve around letting the other team get so far ahead that they no longer care about trying.

    It was response to freeman asking why are the fans doing watching this game? He responded "because some fans actually follow this team like true fans!" something like that.

    This is the most fun Babbitt has had in his NBA career. He must have a great +/-

    Cool, good to know. No green font. Anyone out in the Big East I should watch for during the tourny? Someone we have a need for and a shot at?

    If we had EWill, we might've gotten it into single digits!

    Sit Wallace's ass down for a game and start Babbitt. Wallace doesn't even appear to be trying in road games. At least you know that Luke is going to give effort.

    Nate should start Nolan Smith, Elliott Williams, and Babbitt and sit Felton, Batum, and Wallace for a game. You might lose by 30, but at least you'll get some effort.

    A couple UCONN guys; Drummond and Lamb are probably the best in conference. Fab Melo and Kris Joseph of Syracuse are late 1st guys. Not a ton of NBA talent in the Big East this year.

    We outscored the Celtics by 25 down the stretch. Our team plays with a lot of pride and I think Babbitt should get rotation minutes tomorrow.

    Strangely enough I found this a fun game to watch.

    Maybe that's because I stopped caring within the first two minutes.

    I agree. He played hard and is trying to prove to Nate he deserves some time.

    One thing you can say about Nate, if something's not working, he'll stick with it until it doesn't.

    +17 in the second half. Nate needs to start coaching better in the first half so his great second-half coaching can actually impact the W/L of the game.
