This is the West's hottest team btw

Kevin Love is non existant.
Just wow.

Non-existent with that block. Also, you tend to need the ball to score. Three shots in the second half.

 

[wuck]

I'm most encouraged by the pickup in defensive intensity in the 4th quarter. Similar to what we saw for much of the first half. I guess it's easier when Gasol isn't dominating but it's still been great to see the effort.

Golden State says hi.

 

[kookoo]

This is the best Dion, Andy and Shawn have played all year. Memphis looks so much worse without Gasol and Allen.

 

[Kizzle]

From what iv seen there are enough shots for everybody if we sustain a fast pace and play some defense and rebound. When people say theres not enough basketballs to go around, i think thats just for selfish players

 

[wuck]

Tornicade is going to be unbearable in the Dion thread.

 

[Rich]

Hey, another solid challenge at the rim by love. We need to do that more as a team, even if we get fouls called on us. Teams have to know they aren't going to get a lay-up line for 48 minutes.

 

[shoes22]

Good job Dion. Looking really good today.

 

[brownsbuck6]

Golden State says hi.

Like he said. This is the West's hottest team, that beat Golden State the other day.

 

[Lyst]

If Dion shoots enough it will eventually go in. Seeing him drive and finish though, is a great sight. I don't think he is ever going to be the consistent shooter we hope he could be. Those random hot streaks and fadeaway jumpers that go in-- that's his only shooting game.

Why is Kevin Love so soft?

 

[linelson13]

Everybody rapes Kevin Love

OK can you take the starters out at around the 3 min mark.

 

[Lee]

Waiters getting that trade value up

If waiters can do this more often than not, he isn't getting traded.

What I have always found ironic is we hear waiters isn't happy about his bench role, but he is role is to be the primary scorer off the bench on a championship contender. Not a bad role actually. As a starter he is a 4th option. On the bench he can play alpha for 15-20 mins a game, if he can get his head right, he is exactly what we need for the bench.

 

[Mdog1]

I'd pull the starters. No need to risk injuries, let Dion continue his rampage.
