    Well we won this quarter by 1. Equal quarter-to-quarter improvement in the third and we'll take the lead!

    EDIT: HAHAHAHA. Fuck me. Give up a TD pass for a layin with 3 seconds left. Nevermind.

    It could be worse.

    If Nurk were playing KP would have 30 at the half.

    Kudos to Eubanks for holding him to 19

    :blush:

    This team is not gonna have any consistency on the second unit if they keep alternating between 4 guys initiating the offense in the half court. Fast break, it's gonna happen that way. But bringing the ball up the court and initiating there has to be more consistency.

    Billups needs to give more minutes to bench players if they are hitting shots and the starters aren't hitting shots or stopping the other team.

    In this game that would be Watford.

    Jez even pointed out that the Wizards leaving the mid range open, which is where Watford is making his shots though he also made a 3-pointer.
    It's weird to me to see "starters" (other than Dame) treated like they were part of a championship unit.

    Agreed. And where’s Keon? Starters aren’t getting it done. Let Keon get some shots up and run a 2 man game with TW.

    Second unit ain’t the problem. This starting lineup continually get down by 20+ at the start of every game

    2nd unit isn’t the problem but they could be the solution.

    At what point will Billups lose this team? These kind of games have to be very frustrating for the team.

    unless the Blazers close the gap significantly in the 3rd, which I don't expect at all, I hope Chauncey has the brrains to call the game a lost cause and pull starters since there's another game starting in 24 hours
