figure i'll give these guys props since all i ever hear usually when we lose games is how much Jamal stinks or doesn't play any D...

i thought Jamal did another great job last night being the offensive spark this team needed, & he made all the big shots during the game... even Kobe couldn't do a thing to stop him, & neither could Bynum when Jamal was penetrating into the lane for those tear drop layups that he was dropping on them all game long... & of course he made the biggest pass of the night on that alley oop toss to Curry that won the game for us.

Marbs controlled the tempo of the game well & he was playing really unselfishly last night... really looked to get Curry & D Lee easy open looks in the paint, which is exactly what we need our PG to do... & his defense on Kobe & Odom really went unnoticed by many of you, but he really did a great job guarding both those guys by being physical & not letting them establish great position down low to take advantage of their extreme height advantage... even though Kobe still got his share of points, he was unable to make the big shots when it counted the most... i think it was Marbs who denied Kobe the ball on that last possession also.

Q Rich was a rebounding monster last night, & he made some really big shots in some key moments to stop the Lakers' scoring runs before they got out of hand... & he did a good job of guarding Odom & Kobe all night long as he usually does... this guy is our unsung hero & deserves a lot more props.

Q Rich needs to prove that he can stay healthy for an extended period of time. Every time he gets a small stretch of good games together he then gets hurt. If he rarely gets injured then I'd say he is one of the young players that I want to build the future of my team around. Hopefully he can stay healthy but I feel like it's only a matter of time until he gets hurt again.

Marbs played great D

Marbury played tremendous D last night.

Which just makes you wonder why he's never played D before?

Did Isiah get through to him?

Can Marbury turn into a Chauncy Billups?

No love for David Lee? We lose if he doesn't get that offensive rebound.

I think the credit for this game goes to Steph and Q they really made the effort on defense. And Q made the plays on the class.....

Last night was yet another reason why Crawford is the most frustrating player in the NBA....Name 5 players in the NBA that can get by anyone one on one and Crawford is at the top of the list, he just needs to relax and pace himself and shoot only when he is in rythm or we are in dire need of a basket, and he will be unstoppable

Steph actually has been showing signs of being a good defender over the last 2 years. People forget all the games that he guarded bigger SG's and statistically he has an edge against SG's. Last year he was holding them to a lowe PER and from what i've seen this year he's still giving them a lot of trouble. He's a very misunderstood guy and can't shake his well deserved rep. He does deserve some props for how he's defended much of this year.

Jamal has been looking to penetrate and make those short little flips and teardrops near the basket. It's been EXTREMELY effective and i'm so glad to finally see him get back to playing like he did at the end of last year. Smart decisions with the ball.

Q is a VERY good team player. He gives so much effort and really get's overlooked for how much he does on the boards.

I'd like to add Francis to the mix too, cuz he's been a PLUS for this team since coming back. He looks confident again and he's fit in very well for someone who's been away for so long.
