And I have mucho love for Earl B. He was killing with Denver and now he is with a team that at least has some talent. I do question his defense but you take the good with that bad and he goes for it on D. I also question the decision to go with him to win the game but it worked out and like I said Give that man Earl his props.

Good luck Raps fan. Jarrett Jack calling out players won't work. A star or above avg player has to do that. His teamates will laugh and snicker under their breath. Shoot you need to work on your game. They're just not a good team and overachieved under Sam Mitchell. Calderon and the rest of the team are good. Wth the exception of Bosh. He's an All-Star but cant do it himself. Jack & Duhon are cousins what a lineage of talent. They're in that Earl Watson category solid because the real talent isn't allowed in the league. These guys are the best available. Give me a break. They never were or ever will be what these analysts or GM's project. Back in the days everyone was or could have been pro. Now a days 90% of players stink. They're just given contracts to fill up rosters. It's bad & ashamed. Not sure how the future looks. Could you imagine idolizing a scrub. How good could you be. If my favorite player was just say Chris Duhon. I might as well start my 2nd & 3rd career now. Looking at Duke yesterday and UCONN the mass are career backups at best. The talent pool of the N.B.A is terrible overall. That trickles down to college and definitely High School. Lets mix that talent with the fundamentals. The Gm's/Fans/ & critics alike would much obliged. Everyone loves to see a good show. There are less than 10 teams you could actually watch & enjoy on a nightly basis. Let Stern tell it. This is one of the best yrs to date. HOW?? The lockout yr was better than this. How do you explain the Nets/Knicks/Wolves. That's embarrassing. If the people in charge are incompetent of effectively doing good. Change don't recycle. You're telling there isn't a better talent evaluator than Marty Blake & his Son. He has the same eye. All of these scouts,coaches. They're getting older and could care less some of them. Get them out of here & lets get this show back on the road. Fix the environment & all the people change. It's not the players fault. BELIEVE ME. A team takes on the identity of team’s best player or Coach. Good luck Raps fan. Jarrett Jack calling out players won’t work.

They're like a bunch of robots; ZERO EMOTION. Someone on the Raps needs to man up and start throwin some hard fouls on D and play D like they care. I just can't imagine accepting loss after loss like that. Get mean, dirty, scrappy, and win some fucking games. As a Raptors fan I don’t know what to say or do.

It was exciting at first, but now it's annoying. He's shooting the ball waaaaayyy too much. He is a 5'5 SG...that annoys me. It's like the 7ft small forwards. He gets abused on defense too. Gilbert is the much better option and taking the ball out of his hands is going to make him opt out and leave as a FA....maybe thats what Flip is trying to do. Make Gilbert Opt out of his last year. The wiz probably hate him now, seeing as how he's always injured. Call me old school, but I don’t like Earl Boykins at all. It was exciting at first, but now it’s annoying.

He couldn't be stopped. The WIZ & BUCKS used to be exciting. Dont do what the suns did & go away from what got you successful in the 1st place. Also please dont expect Brandon to score 40 pts every game. He set the ceiling high but lets realistic. He's capable. Also are humbles consider 1 pt. Brandon misses a lot of shots that rim out. He's a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better shooter than I shot. Not indicative of his FG's yesterday. It's funny how #'s don't tell the whole story. His team wont allow him to have high assists. When he plays well they almost always win. Earl Boykins was nice since Eastern Michigan. Another player hurt by the political system. Was always better then Brevin Knight.

If Arenas is ur Alpha male coo then at least give the man every perimeter players dream.. A DOMINANT POST FIGURE.. Jamison games is too awkward to be considered a true post player and Haywood is a great backup but avg starter.. i was watching it last night.. only way they really involve their bigs is pick and roll.. @ DIME Real talk u guys is weak for Cavs and Suns taking the whole smack.. u guys need to spread that shit out more.. and i never criticize the smacks so come on..

The 2 best players on their respective teams seem to be doing what's best for everybody else. At the expense of their own game. That's a balance you have to figure out to be great. When to & not takeover a game. The game itself was zzzzzzzzzzz BORING. Gilbert has to play his game & everything else will work. It wasn't his offense that was hurting/holding back the Wiz. It was their Defense. Mcgee has to play more. Nick Young is the truth. The Bucks are a bad team but are so fun to watch with Jennings. Charlie Bell can't be your starting 2. Why'd you miss that open three for the win. Boykins was killing the Bucks not Jennings. It's not One on One. If you get screened every play it's not your responsibility alone. TEAM DEFENSE. Bogut seemed out of it. Scott Skiles turn it off. Setting a bad example. Play through calls. It's one foul. I thought the ref should have walked away. You should allow a coach to react though not overboard like Robo Skiles(CHI) I feel after making or missing a blatant call. What happen to Ilyasova??? He's our X-Factor The funny thing about the Wiz/Bucks games. The 2 best players on their respective teams seem to be doing what’s best for everybody else. At the expense of their own game.

The Hawks spread the wealth last night, and Bibby was indeed a highlight--drilling 3s early on to help the Hawks pull away in 2nd quarter. Bibby actually is playing better this year than he has the last 2 with the Hawks--he is like that hobbly old guy in the park, who can't jump, but deceptively helps his team win, with great passes and a pure stroke--and knows his physical limitations. Other stars last night: Josh Smith and Marvin, who was MIA in about the first 12 games or so of the season. I really hope Josh gets block of the night. He knocked one shot so hard into the Raptor's bench area, that it was lucky no bystander got hurt! I also hope Josh makes the All-Star team this year; so far he truly does deserve it. But I'd even be more happy if the game box score producers would quit listing Joe Smith among the starters, rather than Josh!! Josh miraculously not only is not taking bad outside shots, but his boneheaded turnovers seemed to have disappeared this year too! He is a new man in both these regards.
