I just don't get why Cook is getting minutes with Thabo back now. I mean he had 5 or 6 insanely great looks in the first half. A three-point specialist HAS to hit more than just the two of those that Cook made.
Anyone else notice Royal's line? 0-4 from the field 0 rebounds 0 assists 0 steals but +23 in 17 minutes!!!
Talk about intangibles...
You have to scream like a women's tennis player to get a god damn call in this game. (See Ian Mahinmi's 4 calls drawn)
@justin_mia I personally don't think it's a problem. His shot selection is the reason why he is so damn efficient.
Anyone else wonder why we are the worst free throw shooting defense team in the league?
Every time I check an article on newsok.com I see that stat and wonder if it's because we have played so many road games or if we are just really unlucky?
Just a weird stat. We shoot free throws so well, but teams shoot almost as well AGAINST us also.
OK I just got home and checked the box score... Does Perk seriously have 6 assists and NO turnovers?
I'm pretty sure this is a sign of the apocalypse...
That PBT all star list is pretty hard to take seriously when they have Ricky Rubio on the just missed the cut list, but don't have Harden even in consideration.
He's averaging 16, 4 and 4 for the team with the best record in the league on ridiculous efficiency. 21.40 PER for crying out lout and he doesn't even get a mention.
This team can be so frustrating at times, and then they have a spurt of pure basketball awesomeness like they did in the middle of the fourth quarter and it reminds you why we love this team so much...
How weird is it that this might be Serge's best game of the year and yet it's the first one in which he didn't have a block?
Jooseppi I personally thought most of Durant's 3's were good shots in the flow that he hits a good percentage on usually. Just wasn't falling tonight.
worst officiated quarter of the season so far? I'm pretty sure that block call on Nick was the first one the official's got right either way so far.
The officials quit as much as the Nets did tonight =P
Am I the only one who is still a little frustrated despite the wins with small ball for so freakin' much of the second half. I understand wanting to ride the hot hand with thabo, but don't you then have to sit Beard to get a PF and C on the floor.
C's stayed in this game in one way... offensive rebounding and it's a story we saw in last year's playoffs too.
Nice win, but I really didn't like our lineups in the second half.
courtsense Harden is a fine defender to match up with Allen
Not a good enough reason to never, ever play a center and pf at once. Boston staying in this game in the fourth because of the offensive glass.
Thabo's having a great game, but should he really be playing 22 minutes in the second half for this team. Seems like we should have dominated Boston on the glass with some bigs.
Y'know we have pretty good big men .... maybe we should play them sometimes ...
