I'd try to slam Lance but hes had times where hes at the very least grown on me a little. I think for players like him who need to get hot and stay in the game, Vogels coaching system makes it tough to have that break out game a young guy like him needs.

Just look at Hansbrough. He comes in today and turns the whole pace of the game around, and Vogel thanks him by sending him to the bench and not bringing him back in until way later in the game. We're above .500 finally so I won't slam Frank tonight, but its frustrating me and I assume its frustrating everyone else.

I haven't been able to watch the past few games, but I see we're the Central Division leaders right now and we're over .500, which are both great considering how poor the season started out. We should be able to pretty easily win the Central Division and therefore the 4th seed this year.

And Hibbert had another terrible shooting night. 3-13? I can't believe a 7'2" guy is shooting under 40% still this season. At least he's been blocking some shots.

Its strange because when you see him around the net, the shots that go in looked like the same old smooth Roy, and the ones that don't he looks rushed, or tries too much. He also tries a few mid range shots these days that I just hate seeing.

That'd be the Bulls, actually.

Yeah, you guys should be able to win the division and I'm expecting as much. Definitely haven't been at your best yet, might start to see that as the season gets into January or thereabouts.

Hey, we were the leaders at the time of my post. At least we can say we've been the Central Division leader for around an hour this year.

I'm not writing off Milwaukee or Chicago just yet, though. The Bulls could go on a huge run to close the season when Rose comes back, and the Bucks have looked really good, at times, this year.

**King Joseus** · 12-05-2012, 08:58 PM

I think Hibbert'll get it together and him and George should be enough to keep you guys up there. I'm reluctant to trust the Bucks, but I hear you on them - they look really good when they're going well.

I expect the Bulls to end up around 45-47 wins or so, probably won't be enough to get the division but a lot hinges on when Rose comes back and how well he plays. It's at least better than a couple of years ago when the division wasn't all that competitive.

Let’s just say Darren Collison didn’t do anything in Los Angeles to convince Rick Carlisle that it was a bad idea to give away the point guard’s starting job.

A moment early in the fourth quarter illustrated why the Mavs can’t trust Collison to run their team. His sloppy, careless pass was easily intercepted by Matt Barnes, leading to a fast-break opportunity for the Clippers that Barnes finished with a layup.

Carlisle responded by calling a timeout. The reason he wanted the break was to bench Collison, who was replaced by Dominique Jones with the Mavs trailing by 21 points.

Collison got back off the bench for garbage time. He committed another turnover on his first possession after checking back into the game.

Collison padded his point total during garbage time, but his line in the box score was still butt ugly: eight points, two assists, two rebounds, four fouls and five turnovers in 18 minutes. The Mavs were outscored by 24 with him on the floor, the worst plus-minus of any player.

By contrast, Fisher was the only Mav who finished with a positive plus-minus. Dallas outscored the Clippers by two points in Fisher’s 25 minutes, with the 38-year-old point guard scoring 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting.

One game bro.

**Gonzo** · 12-09-2012, 05:30 PM

National television quality game tonight. Offense looks good.

**R-Star** · 12-09-2012, 05:37 PM

Lance is a ****ing drama queen.

**Gonzo** · 12-09-2012, 06:16 PM

Jinxed. Bad offense down the stretch.

**Jace** · 12-09-2012, 06:22 PM

Well, Roy. You had a nice career.

**R-Star** · 12-09-2012, 06:27 PM

Get out of my forum.

**Jace** · 12-09-2012, 06:33 PM

Lord, it was worse than I imagined. Russell is a freak, though. Could happen to the best of them. Hey, our C missed 3 dunks in two consecutive possessions last night. I'd say that was more embarrassing.

**R-Star** · 12-11-2012, 11:01 AM

Benching Augustin for Ben Hansbrough? Seems like a fool proof plan.....
