The official week 20 'lets make some noise' thread

[CrazyDon]

Brad Stevens great job COY short list for you sir

Stuff the shortlist, give it him. The amount of overhauling that had gone on and still only 1 game shy of the playoffs contention.

Evan Turner has embraced his second chance at the nba IMO. Just needs to be more consistent

 

[BEaston]

That's more like it Mavs. Now just play that way consistently please.

 

[fidstar]

so now you are not going?

I'll probably still go, but by the time you buy tickets and transport you're looking at 500 dollars. I'd be pretty pissed to pay that if Steph and Bogut weren't playing.

 

[jod23]

Were we really up by 19 and lost? Lol Chicago.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Cousins jumper still has me wincing when he's outside of 12 ft but he keeps proving me wrong.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

This is a great game we're sticking it to the Wizards right now.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

What a way to finish the first half!
Ray McCallum continues to impress and Stuaskas' craftiness around the hoop is still a part of his game that he should lean on.

 

[WWSD]

This is a great game we're sticking it to the Wizards right now.

Watch the Wizards claw their way back.

We just cannot hold onto a lead. I'm still annoyed about yesterday's result.

The amount of games this year in which we've gotten out to a 10+ point lead and still lost has cost us badly. Earlier in the year we led the Grizzlies by 26 points and ended up losing that game. The same week we also lost to Dallas after leading by 24 points at one stage. We can't defend when the heat is on, our offense is fairly good, but that alone won't win us enough games. There's a reason why we find ourselves to be one of the worst teams in the league, we are very inconsistent and we also don't have an even spread of contributers. We need better bench players. I would go after a player like Draymond Green who's great on the defensive end. Not sure what his contract status is though.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Hey I'm with you I'm well aware that once Wall or Peirce or god-forbid Rasual Butler gets going and the others all lift their game we're going to be panicking and dumping it down to Cousins who's surrounded by 3 blokes and either turning it over or trying to barrell through them all en'route to the hoop.
Our offence has looked better tonight without the isocentric Gay (don't hate me Rudy ) and I can't wait to see how it flows after a full off season and with players brought in who will flourish in it.

Derrick Williams has been great too offensively, there I said it. He's a legitmately threat from 3 and in transition is scary. His post up work tonight has been surprisingly good too.

But yes I acknowledge our defensive woes, it's often hanging on for dear life when the opposition get out of a cold streak. That needs the most work and that's the thing I'm most worried about, somebody like Green would be fantastic but I can't think of anyone in particular who covers everything like he does.

I shall call you The Prophet

 

[Hipster Doofus]

19-2 run Washingtons way in 4 and half minutes

 

[Drumroe]

No idea what you guys are talking about... Sacramento are doing just fine...

 

[Hipster Doofus]

This will be a good test, 3 points down 9 minutes left the Washington crowd is very vocal and into it.
Would like to see some sterner stuff from our young blokes.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Ahhhhhh.
Another stunning collapse in little over a quarter
From 21 up to 11 down. Ahhh.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

And there goes Cousins.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Could see it coming but not in that spectacular fashion, 38 point turnaround. Just an inept team when the pressure is on.

 

[djrossie16]

Great win for Celtics they just keep fighing

 

[YelloMit]

Giannis twisted his ankle. The last thing we need is ANOTHER injury.

 

[flight23]

 

[jod23]

Lol at the Kings. It's a shame Cousins is gonna leave.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Lol at the Kings. It's a shame Cousins is gonna leave.

Blasphemy

 

[Damon_3388]

Mehmet Okur looks like he's in better shape than when he was playing. Handsome dude.

 

[flight23]

Steph flicks a switch and its a 20 point lead

 

[Oliver King]

Good to see we rested our players yesterday so we were fresh against the mighty Knicks.

His numbers look terrible. Career-low TS% (for a guy who already couldn't shoot), and career-high turnover rate (literally one out of every five of his possessions results in a turnover). What exactly is he doing well?
