Yea I mean Bled gets a lot of heat because of the contract. As do Markieff. Comes with the territory

The Free throw percentage....How many 7 footers shoot over 85% from the line?

Well, it's a small sample size, but he does have a nice shot at the line.

And to answer your question - Dirk. Anybody else?

With the exception of the bad foul by Len on Rondo, he played a great game.

I see a great future for Len. 8-)

If he can just stay healthy...

Speaking of which, wonder what Robot is thinking (if his head hasn't exploded already)...

I missed the First half. Did Olynak get hurt?

Nice having 3 stud PG's.

One week, we want IT3 as our starting PG when Bledsoe and Dragic are off.

The next, IT3 has fallen off and Bled and Dragic are stepping it up. It's all making sense now. Hopefully IT3 doesn't slowly revert to blaming coming off the bench as the reason for his decline or lack of success.

That's alright. He and Gerald Green have been heroes enough times this season.

For sure. I'm not reading anything into it, just pointing it out.

Good to see Bledsoe and Dragic both play pretty well tonight.

I really liked what I saw from Warren. Now hopefully we stop seeing Tolliver take his minutes.

So he did. I didn't get to watch that game, must have misread the box score.

Probably nothing. His entire point was that couldn't stay healthy. So let Len go the entire season healthy while playing major minutes, and then it will be time to see what Robot thinks.

Cant IT and Green have bad games without going 4 for freaking 20?

At least most of IT's misses were due to him driving the lane and trying to get to the free throw line. Gerald Green just put up the usual amount of his terrible shots.
