    Canales may have the better winning percentage, but Nate wins the much more important battle of the 2nd half scoring margins!

    I know. We should let Kaleb coach the team in the first half, Nate in the second half, and back to Kaleb for OT! Why didn't someone think of this sooner? We'd be undefeated right now!

    Yeh, it kind of blows the theory that posters love to come out when we are losing and don't like to post in wins.

    Was a fun game to watch tell halfway threw the third. Since were out of the playoff race (well we have been for 2 games) I really hope we start seeing 25+ from Flynn/Thabeet and 35+ from hickson/Babbit with LA at around 30 and just rest Batum for the remainder of the season.

    So Batum has tendonitis from playing too much, but he'll play all year for the French team. This does not bode well for giving him a lucritive contract.

    It looks like the lowest we could go is 10. One of those bottom 9 teams would have to catch fire, coupled with us nearly losing out to fall below 9. So in a sense, it doesn't really gain us much. But we are much closer to moving up that down.

    Flyn overall has beemn umimpressive. may as well give him more of a chance the rest of the season but I until we are mathematically elimininated I don't think Caleb will do that

    Gotta gree on this, hasn't he played most summers and now he has the Olympics this year, that does not bode well for his knee and frankly it may be a bit of a warning about how big a contract we might match, can contracts have a stipulation limiting (to a ddegeree) his off season play?

    Not really; those guys want us to lose now, so this is a win for them.

    Rest Nico's knee. Play Babbitt.

    Flynn has looked pretty terrible lately. Play him more.

    I dislike Felton, on a personal level at this point. Sit him, waive him, give him a paid vacation, I don't care.

    Crawford has become irrelevant. That is, unless he opts in to the second year of his contract. Oh, the horror.

    Cut LaMarcus' minutes and play Hickson and Thabust. This will expose Hickson's weaknesses, making him cheaper to sign, and Thabust will give us a shot at the 10th pick.

    Someone should start a thread called, "Who should we keep now if we need to tank next year, too?"

    Then the lists you guys are giving would reverse.

    The last tank was multi-year, not just a couple of months. This one might be, too.
