This guy HAD to have been molested by his father or uncle or something as a child, seriously.

His article makes it sound like we lost by 40.

I bet he likes to pee in the pool, too. Not one positive note. He could have pointed out 10 good things also, but NOOOO. Jerk.

A guy who rags on Felton thru the summer yet totally ignores one of his best games...not that he had any credibility before, but now it's confirmed.

I saw a LOT to be happy about this game, yet he does nothing but pull out the bad.  We played pretty darn good man D esp. on the perimeter...even JRich in stretches.  Felton battled thru the screens to stay with his man (how often have we seen Primoz get switched off and get beat?) and that IMO made a world of difference.  If nothing else we've lost the defensive liability in having BK in the lineup with Felts.

I don't care for the 2 pg lineup, but I have to admit Touche' did a decent job on Redd in the latter stages of the game...and it's obvious Felton's best shot is with his feet set.  I don't think that's the main reason though, but more in trying to bring more perimeter D into the mix.

Bonnell tried very hard to bring us down after our FIRST opening win ever.  Screw him.  I'm still smiling.

I agree totally Spectre. Except for the FT%, I was very happy with our starters. J-Rich came alive in the 4th, just when we needed him. Oak was solid, Wallace his usual self and I was very pleased with Ray! IMO, one of the best games I have seen from him overall as a Bobcat. I wish our bench was better. Carroll, Dudley and Herrmann did not score well for us at all. Our 4 big starters did great.

Are you convinced Primoz should start at 5? I don't know. Not sure about Hollins. Maybe try Oak at 5 and Jermareo at 4 for a game or so, just to see. But Primoz just kills me. Did you see late in the 4th when he's out there chucking from 15-18 ft? What the he-- was that about? I'm yelling at the TV "Get him off the Court, NOW!!!" My wife thought I had lost it and was ready to call the men with the "little white jacket with no arms".

Bonnell needs to take a walk across 277 in rush hour.

you're a cold man, Chabber. True, but cold!!! I only wish I'd a thought of that line first.

No positive comments as usual fuck Rick.

I have never been a fan of Primoz...ever.  If it was me I'd probably try every other route before he became the starter and utilize him as a 2nd or 3rd big off the bench.  That being said, I can understand V's worry about fouls.  Last night we were darn lucky that Bogut went instead of Mek; don't know that we could have pulled it off without him (even with the missed FTs).

Now is that a legitimate concern?  In some instances I can see it, but in others I could see where a great PF like Bosh could get him in foul trouble just as easily.

At least Primoz did D up against Bogut a couple of times.  He needs to learn that all he has to do is stay in front of him and let Mek & Crash's help D take care of it.

We need them both...so who starts really doesn't matter.  Just give Davidson/Duds some PT and maybe we can limit the PT for both.

Make that +2!
