Good run, but not sure they have enough. Taking Daniels out of the game makes no sense to me.

[j804]

Ok I've seen enough, Captain take us home.......

[vinnie]

Much rther have Daniels in the game than Nate, but Nate will probably make a big basket to win the game -- 

[JHTruth]

We need a good possession here..

[snively]

Jermaine's shot-blocking has always impressed me.  Seems like most of them are at the rim with a high degree of difficulty as opposed to the cheapies against guards that Camby piles up.

[Roy H.]

Yuck (on both ends).

Give it to the Captain.

[JHTruth]

And another terrible possession and we lose the lead. Oh well..

[Roy H.]

Great play by Nate!

(Get BBD out of there, though, please.)

[JHTruth]

Ugggh, that might be it. Just terrible 3-pt line defense right now..

[vinnie]

Of course a lucky shot goes in for Ariza. Loved the effort, but wish Doc would have found a way to keep Marquis in the game. Doc is a good coach, but sometimes I don't get him.

[Megatron]

Wow. That was an incredible miracle 3 by Ariza.

No matter the outcome of this game im proud of our team, we just didnt have enough bodies to get it done tonight.

I don't think you can have better 3-pt defense without fouling.

Terrible? Pierce was all over him. What game are you watching?

[greg683x]

jermaine has definitely picked up his game on the defensive end today.

His slow/kinda lazy rotations are defense are a little annoying.  ive seen him lose his man, or forget to switch back numerous times now.  dont know if anyone else has noticed.  maybe that stuff will go away once he gets more worked into the lineup.
