I said "kitten"footing around... Just so everyone knows.

That is one of those times where had you bypassed the swear filter on purpose so your word showed up, it would have been fine, as that term is not a swear any more than "p*ssycat" is.

MWP not happy in his post-game interview with John Ireland, kinda implied he asked a dumb question.

Makes sense though, these guys are getting frustrated having to answer the same questions from a ton of media members after every loss. The answer? Stop losing games and the media can't ask as many stupid questions.

things are getting chippy. maybe they'll finally start playing like they're worth a damn.

Outside of the 3rd Q he didnt play lick of defense tonight. Hes out of control with his dribble ugh

John Ireland?

I'm already tired of his post-game interviews. If he's not kissing major a**, he's trying too hard to get his version of what the answer SHOULD be with a dumb question...

"So, do you think going on the road will help this team bond and get on the right track?"

...After we just came off a road trip in which we went 1-2.

I miss Barnes. He was a perfect backup to MWP. Despite his playoff injuries which sucked but you cant blame him for bad luck, he brought energy and effort on both ends everynight. Hes playing very well for the Clips and idk why we didnt resign him. I gave Ebanks a chance but hes sucking it up big time and Barnes should have been resigned instead

I don't miss him because of his playoff injuries.

MWP needs to be relegated to the bench. I've been saying it for awhile now. If we do move Pau, we need a starting NBA SF. Only if Danny Granger was healthy...

yea his leading questions can be a bit annoying sometimes. like the whole "are you embarrassed/discouraged/______? because i'm not"

couldn't agree more, gets blown by with EASE

anybody noticed his Defense has gotten pretty bad since he got lit up by Durant last week. Not sure what happened
Also hes making a good amount of his shots but hes turning the ball over, not playing defense or passing the ball....last 5 games, 9 turnovers 1 assist total

I think the minutes have caught up to him, hes playing 35 min/gm right now, we dont have a backup for him so we're using him and Kobe for a lot of mins at the 3 spot. Both now are conserving their energy on D for offense. CJ Miles and Alonzo Gee just lit us up from the 3 point line yesterday coming off screens

Maybe since his single just got released he'll get his mind back in basketball. Now that he's healthy and in better shape i hope he brings the fire and intensity all game vs the Knicks and when hes guarding Melo. He wont stop him but he can sure bother him and play tough defense and that could spark the rest of the team.

This game was just unreal D from Metta. He was locked in, engaged, and had that fire in his eyes we all love to see on D form him. He wont defend like this but if he brings the same effort and intensity and engagement into his D on Melo i can be happy

Its like watching a lion scaring off a hyena.

yep

just a poor excuse of a defender....I knew he couldn't handle Melo but he couldn't handle Smith either outside of that one steal, that one possession where we got it down to 9 and subsequently Smith hits a 3, Peace of crap takes some weird angle and wasn't even close to bothering Smith. Yea he had good offense production but again just slow and dumb.

I cringe every time he tries to post up or drive to the hoop.

he should never touch the ball on offense. NEVER.

I've voiced my displeasure over Ron many times; but last night, he played a decent game. Matter of fact, I liked us going into the post to him last night in an attempt to exploit the matchup advantage he had with JR Smith in the paint.

He's not the player he used to be defensively, but I don't hold that against him. There's a lot of elite SF's such as Carmelo, Kevin, that the rest of the NBA can't guard either...

Nah John, he's taking 5.8 threes a game and he's still making 38.8% of them. I'd still like him to keep doing that.

That, I have no problem with. Straight up, catch-and-shoot. But for a guy who's being paid ~$7 mil/year, he can't have bad nights on both defense and shooting.
