Thought he said something along those lines. ;)

Plumlee heard me with 9 2nd half boards while beasting Brook Lopez - Lopez went 6-7 from the floor in the 1st half and 0-6 from the floor in the 2nd half.

Bledsoe's looking over his shoulder and seeing Isaiah Thomas fill up his back window - looks like he lost that chip on the way to 7 fucking turnovers.

Thought Dragic did a great job picking his spots tonight - loved his floor game.

And Gerald Green is not losing his spot in the rotation without an all-out street fight - what a spark.

What the f*ck is wrong with Eric Bledsoe ?
Complacency.

He has his contract and his starting spot. What is there to work for?



Its going to be really sad when we lose Gerald Green at the end of the year. That fucker gets me amped like the old days when he's on.

Gortat still looking good in Washington. Why again did we ditch one of the only true Centers we've ever had?

Dragic needs to play PG, Bledsoe should be off the ball. The turnovers are beyond ridiculous.

The turnovers are beyond ridiculous. But is he effective off the ball?

As great as IT was scoring and getting to the line, he had quite a few TOs too.

Agreed. He was more aggressive than Bledsoe at trying to score though and he seems to have chemistry with Gerald Green which I think also helps keeping him in the game.

Bledsoe in the 3rd looked like the bledsoe i want him to be. Speedy-Tankish. He had some turnovers, but all in all i was happy to see that little tank roaring once more. Felt like he has been asleep for 5 games.

Nets fell apart, bad D, law of averages. Isaiah got our offense into a flow in the 1st half, really liked that.

20-23 from the free throw line for Thomas and Green and both played less than 30 minutes. Ridiculous.

I really do not like the fact that we have to comeback from 15 point deficits to win games recently but man do they make for fun ass games. :D

- It was said a few times in the thread, but it's time for Tucker to move back to the starting lineup. It could use his energy, defense and rebounding. The Suns have been coming out flat and he's a good remedy for that. Rotation should be Goran/Bled/Tucker/Kieff/Plumlee with a bench crew of IT/Green/Warren/Marcus/Len.

- I watched Len closely. First off, he's finally lost that awful bandage and now just has a two-finger wrap. He definitely looked more comfortable catching the ball. I'd like to see the team look for him a little more to get his confidence up. They don't seem to trust him yet. I also really like his activity on defense. He's got a good sense of where he needs to be. His rotations are usually pretty spot on.

Great comeback win! I still just feel like the roster is off, though. The three PGs isn't going to work long term and starting both Morrii doesn't seem like it will last, either. Seems like the game really begins when we put in our second unit, with sparks like IT, Green, Tucker, and Len. The roster is wrong and the rotation is wrong, so we start a lot of games down 10 pts and need to crawl our way back.

We've gotta keep Tucker and Green. Those guys are the heart of the team. Tucker started the comeback tonight late in the first half with intense D. Love that guy.

This team needs to learn that it doesn't need to be down double digits before it starts playing defense.
