They hit a ton a TON of jumpers, alot of which were contested tonight. We looked a little tired and on the second night of a back to back with a team shooting lights out, ah well it happens. Would have loved to see them win but I am not too worried about it. Eddie Johnson made a great point about us basically trying to work Shaq into the line up against some of the best teams in the NBA its not all gonna be positive at first, we will get their and finally we have some size and aren't gonna get killed on the boards night in and night out.

They pretty much killed us in every aspect of the game. We could not stop anything ar anybody, and really did not have anything consistent on the offense. There are few positives, however.
First, I was glad that they finally started giving Shaq the ball in the block. He is still adjusting and you can see he wants to score and pass and prove he still has it. Shaq is moving good just needs to get his conditioning back and settle in. He is going to be a mnster again I can see it. Refs are not giving him any calls (like they used to). He was defending good since his guy, Chandler, was a nonfactor tonight. In past games Chandler really dominated us on the glass. Shaq really slowed him down and punished him tonight. Wells was another story. We could not do anything with him tonight and he took the pressure off of everyone else. I am not sure what is Amare's problem. He has all the physical tools to be a good defender. He is not a rookie anymore. Is he just mentally limited that he can not learn how to play defense, how to position his body, box out..? I am serious.
Nash is the biggest problem since Shaq's arrival. His defense is non-existent, assists are down, probably his field goal percentage down as well, tirnovers. he can't pass the ball to Shaq on the block because he is easily overpowered and small....really think DJ should play more at least he defends and can pass the ball much easier to Shaq or Amare and let them run the play.
We desperately need another shooter.

There are larger sigs on here. I'm totally fine with mine.

What does the reference to the "fifteen" mean. You can have an NBA number of thirteen players on the team. Why does it take 15? I don't mind the pictures, but the reference makes no sense to me, FWIW.

You need 13, but you can have up to 15. Our team would never play all 15 players, but a team like Dallas might.

You call 12 points and 15 rebounds a "non factor"?

Stats don't always tell you what exactly happened on the court. After that 20 point lead I didn't even watch the game so what i was talking about was his play while game was not decided yet.
