bigs scoring was not a factor in this loss for us... 

[dreamgreen]

our loss and a nets win would be the ultimate sign that karma is real. we deserved this night because of the rude reaction to Kobe's retirement.

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. Kobe!

We really squanched away this game

Can't win playing that kind of defense and missing that many 3s.

I think this team is learning how hard and smart you have to play every night to get to that 48-50 win mark.

could have won if our bigs gave us offense... lee did fine first half but go look at the boxscore and look at the bigs from each team...

[MBunge]

I think Smart, Bradley and Sully are proving they could be quality starters around a superstar.  Everybody else looks like they'd be 6th through 9th guys on really good teams, with the jury still out on the rookies.

I agree ......a Paul George type talent player is what this team needs to round it out .

Who wants to give me the rundown on what happened tonight? I had to make a trip to Indy and back and missed the game.

I know none of our bigs are stars but who thought they would be a major weakness for us offensively. Hell, I thought they would always give us scoring/rebounding if nothing else. I swear one will get hot and the others fall asleep. One will rebound and the rest wet the bed. What's up with them? I don't remember a game where more than 2 played well in a game. I'm not talking about showing up in garbage mins either. It puts too much pressure on AB and IT4 to do all the scoring.


I don't feel like looking it up but has any of our bigs scored more than 20 in a game this season?

Celts couldn't hold onto the ball and the Magic out worked them.

Celts failed to force turnovers and get out in transition, Magic beat them with size in the backcourt (Oladipo, Fournier) and in the paint (Vucevic, Nicholson).

Same story as the second Nets game, really.

That's the thing, when you have a bunch of just-OK guys who all play less than 28 minutes a game, you're not going to have much consistency, especially when your offense is designed to spread the ball around and not really focus on getting any one guy shot attempts.

I don't buy it, they did much better last season with the same minutes. I just checked, only Sully scores double figures (10.5) while NOT ONE of the others even gets 8pts per!

None of them deserve more minutes if you can't get 8pts per game, you don't need 25+ mins to score 8pts!

Thanks. TP.

Thanks. TP. From watching the box score and play by play, that's what it seemed like to me, too.

Can't beat people with the quality of our bigs. Gotta beat them with quantity. Have ALL of them run full speed all the time they're in there.
