Nice layout, but I always look forward to the well-written and researched Lethal pieces myself so I didn't even read it. No offense Peachtree Hoops.

Peachtree does these for every game, we just import them through the Squawkbot... and Lethal has to do game writeups for us to have them but yeah he does a great job with them!

We look like we don't give a damn about this game again. Can JJ go back on the DL or can we trade Smith please? We were so much more exciting against Indy and Miami and the players just look like lethargic out there for the 2nd straight game against an inferior team.

Joe just looks like a shell of his former self and his shooting stroke even looks different now.

If you want the team to look more like how they did against Indy and Miami then trading Josh is not the way to go. I agree with you on Joe, he just looks REALLY REALLY slow, like unbelievably slow. He is using his dribbles more to get passed his defender instead of his quickness, very bad.

Didn't get to watch the game but it looked like joe picked it up in the second half.

The whole team seemed to pick the energy up in the 2nd half. It's kind of fun when we play western conference teams as we seem to play with that same energy... just took a while to tap into it tonight.

Well we got the win and that's the main thing. Too many turnovers and missed free throws but SAC couldn't take advantage.

I was really pleased that we held together once Zaza fouled out and we had no Ivan. Smoove made some nice defensive plays and Marvin even pitched in!

All around a fun game to watch (although not one to inspire confidence). The Chatroom Loonies came through again and came up with some jewels crazy.gif

Yeah, the comedy in the chatroom is a lot funnier when we win though, that's for sure.

Yeah...everybody wants Dwight (D12) - but we would turn on him in a New York minute if he missed a couple free throws in crunch time. Folks would be talking about trading him for Solomon Jones and a 1st round pick biggrin.png
