His butler probably told him Battier was out tonight.

YOU'RE ALL FIRED

This is why I hate single-game +/-...

+14

-1

Tells the complete wrong story.

Hey guys! This will cheer you all up: Remember preseason? We sat LeWade and still beat the real Spurs!

He still has to work on learning to finish inside, but Norris shot the J well in this one. They were collapsing the paint, not allowing any penetration and practically begging him to shoot that mid range J, and I think all 4 of his baskets were from mid range. Hope that can continue.

**Jace** · 11-30-2012, 03:11 AM

I think so too. I remember him badly missing a layup when he did all the tough work and got a great look. But yeah, his shooting was huge for us. Couldn't appreciate it at the time, because I was so frustrated with the game and almost always think he shoots at the wrong time, but it obviously proved crucial. He's sneakily starting to outplay Chalmers.

Was thinking...if the fact we're playing so terribly leads to Riley deciding we need a personnel move down the road (small deadline trade of some sort, post-deadline buyout acquisition), it could be a good thing down the road. If we're incorporating a new rotation piece later on, it'll be harder for teams to have a solid scouting report on us come playoff time. Hope that's not the case, but I'm just making lemonade out of lemons.

Don't understand how you work with Grover at every possible point during your first 7-8 seasons, he clearly plays a large hand in giving you your best season ever, and then you abandon him for someone that's not known for working with NBA ballers, as far as I know.

This and the Seinfeld reference...

I don't understand anything...

Downs? Band shit? Seinfeld? Huh?

So Hopefully Spurs or Memphis don't make it to the finals.

Seinfeld reference- The guys name is 'Festus' Ezeli. In Seinfeld, George's Dad made up a new holiday called 'Festivus',

Ed Downs is the trainer that Wade has worked with the past 2 seasons. 2 of worst seasons he's had.

And the band thing is that after UD's injury a couple of seasons ago, he said he spent the entire following offseason working with only Resistance Bands and lifted no weights and did very little court work. He then went on to play and look his worst.
