No lollygagging though as Tommy says..... EXACTLY..We would've won at least 2 of those last 3 losses if we didn't lollygag at the end! And Pruitt is still in!!! I'm so happy  |

In examining the box score - Perkins +- is +12, Posey's +- is -6.
I have a feeling that Perkins needs to be in there for the stretch drive instead of Posey. Perkins has had a good rebounding night and I bet his defense has been better.
Am I correct in this assertion? Or am I over-relying on the box score?

Crap call on Ray to keep Portland in the game. Ray finally heated up. Needed him tonight. We havent been on fire of late but we will be fine once our guys start hitting their shots. We started to again tonight and kept the pace up and the passing was really good. We really need to do a better job of taking advantage of the shots we get. perk is the worst at this imo. He could get so many easy dunks and he continues to wind up. Please perk stop winding up. We missed way too many ft's tonight as well. If we were hitting our shots and our ft's we would have blown them out.
Teams are targetting us now, and we can't take possesions off and lallygag. We turned it up at the end tonight and thats what we should be doing.

Don't worry your right, it's the reason we lost back to back agaisnt Washington...We would build a lead up in the 4th but then we would take out Perk and the Wiz would bombard us on the boards and come back(interior D weakens without Perk) but yet, Doc seems to have a grudge agaisnt playing Perk at the end of games which is stupid and will cost us more games later on agaisnt tougher teams with bigger players...Doc needs to throw away his obsession with small ball... |

Perkins has had a good rebounding night and I bet his defense has been better. Am I correct in this assertion? Or am I over-relying on the box score? You are right, Q. Perk's defense is what makes the difference in the +/-. Doc should have Perk in down the stretch as teams seem to make runs on us in the end of games. Doc's small ball is really getting on my nerves. |

Good bounce back win against a good young team. This was an effort win because certainly our shooting remained off but we compensated in other areas like rebounding, steals, and drawing more fouls.
Posey had another bad game, Pierce was off but he had an excellent +- which leads me to believe he was helping in other areas like defending Brandon Roy.
Ray Allen and KG took care of the scoring load and made sure the losing streak did not reach three.

R Allen probably had his best game of the year. Good win.  |
