16. Game. Freaking. Losing. Streak.
We played well tonight though, IMO.

Boobie is getting burned by Rose

Join the club...

Gotta love when we come back, because it's always futile.

Yep.

Right. I don't blame Boobie for Rose having about an average game.

24/8/4 isn't that terrible. Dude is an elite talent on the rise.

the game was lost right when the refs called that horrible blocking call on eyenga. that was totally an offensive foul

 

[FlatulenciaRoar]

At least the defense has improved. Although there were lapses, some of the rotations were sharp.

To be fair, we were getting a shload of weird calls going our way tonight, so I can't complain about officiating.

i wish andy was not injured

Refs gave us the benefit of doubt tonight. Not really much to complain about.

The game was lost when Hickson's stupid ass showed up to the wrong side of the pick before that Rose and-1.

DAMNIT KYLE KORVER GETS A WIDE OPEN 3... 95 rating on 2k11. :thumbdown

Why is Scott playing Eyenga? 52 rating. Was screwing us over,

Scott needs to get better at judging attributes, and fast.

I should know, I just won the 2012 Championship with the Cavs in Association Mode bruh.

PG- Collison
SG- Thabo Sefowhatever.
SF- Danny Granger
PF- Andy
C- Drafted Fake player. 99 in everything. 7 foot 6 inches, African-American. I don't even have to play defense with anyone except him.

Yes, I'll continue to praise his effort on the boards. Dude is still a trainwreck on offense though. Has no idea what to do when the ball hits his hands and he isn't in an immediate scoring position. I like the play where he decided he was Chris Paul and caught the ball at the top of the key, turned and decided to take on two guys with his awesome cross-over dribble. Ended up in a Bulls fastbreak lay-up. He consistently tries to do waaaay to much. He can't dribble. He can't shoot. He needs to realize this and stop doing both.

 

[Rich]

Why not? Why not just once? I mean they are professional basketball players getting paid millions of dollars to play. We can't trust them to put the ball in the hoop just a little bit?

No see, this is the problem. A lot of our guys getting minutes aren't getting millions of dollars. See Samuels, Eyenga, Harris, Gee, Graham.

 

[Lyst]

Yea I questioned whether or not to put 'millions', but what they get paid is still an exorbitant amount of money to play a game no matter what.

They're playing for their careers at this point. They don't expect big bucks. I'd like to see more effort from all of them.

The problem as I see it is Jamison. He's the "leader" on the team, so they keep feeding him on offense. I really hope we can trade him this season. That would force some of these young guys to step up their game as the season winds down. We might be able to keep a few of these guys as good pieces of the future, so if they were forced to step up their games in the absence of Jamison, I would see that as a good thing for the remainder of the season from a development perspective.
