Game 5: @ Cavs

If we could trade Diaw for a good center when Tyrus returns from injury, we should hop on that opportunity.

Who would trade their "good Center" for Diaw?

Can't afford to lose this game.

Nonsense. We need as many ping-pong balls as we can get.

Someone that needs a power forward.

Haha, yeah if you think we have a chance at Drummond.

davis or barnes is a nice 2nd or 3rd prize.

Well, at least tonight confirmed what we already knew: this is the worst team in basketball. It remains to be seen but we might be looking at futility records here when it's all said and done.

Rough night for Walker. He didn't play much. In 5 games he's scored 13, 14, 2, 17 and 2 points. Taking the good with the bad.

As bad as the cats are inside, IDK why Mullens and Biz don't play more. Biz provides a defensive mind in the post (he makes mistakes, but makes up for it with his athleticism), while Mullens provides the offensive post game.

Boris Diaw and Dj are fools gold. DJ teases with his ball handling and three point range but makes bone head decisions and is a defensive liability. Diaw..like we all know, plays lazy and nonchalant...and yet his passing and versatility makes him valuable on a struggling team like this.

I also think it is time Mullens gets starters minutes if not the starter at Center. He has proven in limited minutes that he is a threat offensively.

Just sucks to see the Cats get their asses kicked by cleveland..I understand Miami and Orlando..but Cleveland? REALLY??

[Porn Shop Clerk]

this team is not even worth watching. wtf is wrong with them. tired of watching them jack up jump shots everytime they go down by 5 or more points. seems like the whole team has regressed.

i understand they're a young team with no real identity right now, but seriously wtf

[Chaos]

Never thought Gerald Henderson would be the most exciting and productive player on an Nba team.

I agree with a majority of these points but a couple things I disagree with.

First, I am not sure I would consider Mullens having a "post" game. He is a threat on offense but away from the basket really. I guess you meant offensive game in general.

As for Boris, I am not sure if lazy is the right term. Maybe it's lack of aggressiveness. He likes to get others involved first and is more willing to pass than shoot. I would say he does get nonchalant sometimes but I think he gets too much flak. Having said that, he is our best trade piece and would like to see him traded.

But I agree with much of what you said, especially the fact that we lost to Cleveland.

I was more or less venting...I guess my real beef is the effort that we saw in the first two games (vs Milwaukee and Miami at home) has been non existent in the past three...which is the most frustrating. I can understand a veteran team that has proven itself with a good track record starting slow, or playing for the playoffs...

But a team where young players are getting an opportunity to get starters minutes to lack hustle or drive is very concerning.

Maybe its just a lack of talent and not hustle..but there is a difference between the first two games and the last three...maybe confidence?

They're clearly haunted by the Heat loss. A young team choking away a game that was theirs for the taking for the first 59 minutes.
