I love Veseley's motor. He looks like a young AK 47. He's got some slick hands and that finish was fun to watch.

[No Excuses]

Vesely is a really good athlete and has good court awareness. I like watching him on offense playing off the ball. He already might be the best off ball player on this team. He understands floor spacing and just when to the cut towards the rim.

I'll admit it watching that Vesely dunk was fun.

[stevemcqueen1]

Can't say enough how impressed I am with Vesely on the defensive end so far. Very heads up.

I like the instinct to post up too.

Jordan is much better at pacing his game than Wall. I like the difference the two bring when they're on the floor together.

Blatche off the bench >>>>>>> than Blatche the starter.

Everyone has scored tonight and we're shooting 45.7% as a team. Where did this come from?

[Renegade7]

Keeping it in perspective, we still aren't hitting any jumpshots on a consistent basis. My thing is that we are younger, faster, and more athletic then a lot of teams we've gone up against, and fina-ly we're acting like it. In a condensed schedule like this, our youth should be a strength, not a weakness...

Toronto's on the 2nd game of a back to back, and we have to have some nights where we actually look like a professional operation on offense.

Don't ask questions, just enjoy the moment.

Outside of a rare hot night, I don't expect us to shoot well this season, its just not feasible with the players we have. We look better today because we're forcing things on defense and its leading to us being able to use our athleticism to get out and run a little bit. Execution on defense is the difference. We get better there, we'll score more points.

Chris Singleton

Only consistent bright spot of the year along with McGee.

[Thinking Skins]

I'm so glad we started Booker and Singleton tonight. Its good to reward hard work, defense and hustling!!

[stevemcqueen1]

Book is such a hoss.

[StillUnknown]

They gotta keep Booker in the starting lineup.

[boysetsfire]

Andray "BIG GAME" Blatche lol.

[stevemcqueen1]

This is the most hustle Blatche has shown all year. Hell this is the most hustle the team has shown all year.

Vesely has three steals so far right?

He's got four steals. I stand corrected. Wow.

[Thinking Skins]

Vesley is looking dominant tonight too. I'm not getting ahead of myself but it is nice to come home from work and be able to smile about my basketball team.

[stevemcqueen1]

We might get to 100 tonight!

For a dead dog winless team, we are playing extremely hard.

[No Excuses]

You can mask Blatche by playing him against back ups. He's so badly out of shape it's embarrassing.

Hopefully Booker and Singleton are permanent fixtures in the starting lineup.
