    I gotta say, it was refreshing to see the road team wear dark, and the home team wear white.

    Why don't we go back to this?

    You didn't just compare the Terry Stotts criticism to what this guy is doing. Come on. Those things aren't even in the same universe.

    I definitely have more than 0 bud... Had podcasts with over a thousand. Peak is at least a couple thousand. I know you can't count that high, so lets just say it's a lot more than none.

    I'd love for us to pass the ball like they do. I feel like we'd be at least 16-11, not 11-16.

    I did but yes i understand your point here. At least the Stotts criticism has a number of people who actually agree with it.

    They almost pass to a fault? There were wide open looks that got passed up? Seriously Rubio was passing up open looks from 7-8 feet out to an open three shooter.

    And it's true objectivity, not baseless hate.

    Ricky Rubio shoots under 30% for his career from 3-10 feet so I'd say that's the right choice.

    He had 13 assist but he also had 8 turnovers but Rubio would fit with this 2nd or Rondo. Even we got 2 starters playing with them we are missing that playmaker with that unit. Simons doesn't cut it has a playmaker he to score first type of guard.

    I'd take Monte in a heartbeat. Love their offense.

    I think it gets called plenty, esp in situations like the one where Dame is going to the hoop. You can't push or hold a guy, and they really cut back on hand-checking a few years ago. But they seem to call it more on made buckets, IMO.

    My point wasnt so much that it needed to be called
    more just that it seemed like the amount of contact and the nudge from behind was pretty common and doesn't get called often.
