    If we can just limit the silly turnovers that gave them that string of fastbreaks, we can win this game as it's currently being played. I would appreciate it if Brandon shows up in the second half. Very encouraging to see another good night from Martell.

    He's the only reason we're in this game.

    That was part of the 13-game winning streak. We also beat the Jazz in Utah as part of that streak. Isn't that incredible? That streak was so impressive, especially since we were supposed to be one of the worst teams that year.

    You're right--Martell, Camby, and Aldridge have had nothing to do with it. :sigh:

    He's been the only one attacking the paint.

    Meh. I don't know about that. He threw up a lot of bricks when others were open. Yes, he's scored 13 points but he has only 1 assist. We need him to find the open players on the floor in the 2nd half.

    He said we must not have cable up here because he's been telling us for 3 years we need to find a low post scorer.

    How about the four or five fouls he's handed out to the Nuggets?

    In hsi 5 minutes, Bayless tried to. But Jerryd aside, outside of Roy, he's the only ballhandler. Who else would attack the paint?

    Bayless attacked the paint and created shots for Martell. Consequently, Bayless leads the team in assists in only 5 minutes of play. Miller has done some good things, yes, but we would be ahead by 10 if he was more aware of his teammates.

    Yep--he's done a good job of drawing fouls. I'd like to see what his usage% for the first half was. I'd venture that it was pretty high.

    Yes, he did that at the end of the half. But in the first quarter and a half, he was mostly chucking up bad shots while others were wide open. He started the game 1 for 8 from the field. That wasn't getting anyone into foul trouble.

    I swear, Camby is the worst tipping center I've ever seen.
