Would hack-a-bismak work?

They'd just stick JV in who's shooting 100% this game

[BudweiserCeltic]

Put Marcus on him!

It's not freaking rocket science. I have no clue what Brad's issue is there.

Must be the same reason Brad benched KO down the stretch vs. Dallas when he clearly was the only reason we had a chance at winning that game.

It was a short break, he played a lot of straight minutes.

He played a lot of consecutive minutes, sure.  But he got benched in favor of Sully only to return for a few possessions at the tail end of the 4th.  He could have easily finished the game.  He's young and it's not like he's logged a ton of minutes over the course of the season.

Break was longer than I thought, you're correct on that regard. I thought he got only a minute or 2 out... it was more like 4 or so.

But I'll correct you in that it was Crowder who entered for Olynyk, not Sully. Sully and Olynyk together had one of the best, if not the best, stretch of the game.

How do you call that a push on Biyombo when you wouldn't give Bradley that same call earlier in the game?  BS.

Same story all year long - inconsistency. And this is a new ref, too.

[Ogaju]

why did Smart shoot that three?

[Chief]

Seems like three guys fighting to bring it up.

Somehow this inconsistency seems to always cut against us. Sigh.

I'm so used to it that I got numb by missed calls. lol

Hmm.  I don't remember the exact person who was put in for KO - I think you're right that it was Crowder, but Sully followed soon after.  I really wanted KO to finish the game, especially over Sully.

Sully was already in the game together with Olynyk is what I meant. Regardless I agree with the premise that Olynyk should be in there somehow. I always prefer to stay big regardless.

SMAHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[max215]

Excellent drive. The hesitation dribble is killer, he used it before too but couldn't finish.

[jpotter33]

Let's leave Turner in Canada, eh?

Nice drive by SMart there.

[tomrod]

Turner doesn't look like an nba player right now. WTH happened to him?

[jpotter33]

Haha some more incompetency for you. Can't call blatant pushes out of bounds, but you can call BS post-up charges?

[Chief]

Low basketball IQ.
