Butters Stotch is tougher than Andray Blatche.

[Skin'emAlive]

I absolutely love the way Wall and Mcgee are playing right now.

[No Excuses]

I am at least glad that the crowd has finally turned on Blatche. He is getting boo'd hardcore tonight.

[StillUnknown]

Al Harrington is killing us like usual.

Why is mcgee just now coming back into the game with 11 seconds left?

[Skin'emAlive]

sigh... how does a starting PF get 0 field goals? while playing like 26 minutes? Damnit Flip, you cant be this dim. If he is playing that awful, isnt playing defense, and is routinely fouling the other team, you gotta get him outta there.

Tonight is a prime of example of how stats can be misleading, Blatche did absolutely **** this game and ended up +4 for the game.

What good does that do?

I didn't like it when the crowd booed Juwan Howard and I don't like it now.

It's pointless....

Blatche is a lazy sack of crap...he deserves the boo's.

I don't think it's pointless that people display their dislike when they pay their hard earned money and end up watching a lazy bum bring the entire team down.

I think it sends a pretty clear message to the front office.

He'll be out of here soon enough.

[No Excuses]

He'll be out of here soon enough.

I doubt it. His trade value was crushed when teams saw he came out of shape even with an extended offseason.

He needs to be benched, permanently. Zero minutes a game.

Do you think anyone would care if Ibaka scored if Durant shot .235%? The star has to lead and that field goal percentage by the teams star is a bigger story than Blatche having a bad game. Blatche is a role player at best and matters only if everyone else above him does their job. Also note the +\- for the game.

The only issue with Blatche is that Flip shouldn't be starting him. His minutes were the lowest among starters though but still too high.

(note, I am not one of those calling him a bust. That's nonsense.)

I understand the point you're trying to make, and to some extent I agree with you (I thought Wall settled for far too many jumpers tonight).

In regards to Blatche's +/- number, this game shows that there is more to that statistic than just the final number. Blatche literally did nothing of note, and ended up with a positive number, sometimes it just works out that way.

Blatches positive is meaningless because he did nothing. He's not a starting PF in this league and I've said his value is coming off the bench for a while now. Mack's positive and Wall's worst is what stuck out to me. That's the effect of taking 17 shots on a night when most of the team shot well and missing 13.

Edit, watching this lob city timberwolves game... Ted get Love here. Make it happen!
