Good grief that should have been a TECH on Kalkbrenner for flopping.

Why does their guard get to grab and hold Flo with no foul?

Thamba's done a good job on Kalkbrenner so far.

His only buckets were from stupid switches on the pick-and-roll, and that's on Drew, not Flo.

Take it right at 'em.

Need to close to within 2-3 by half.

does KG have some lingering illness? he's looked exhausted with tired legs on his shots and lazy arms on defense for the past 4-5 weeks.

Does anyone know what's going on with George! He's not been playing well lately! Flagler and Cryer are playing well!

Kg has been making up for the lack of O with effort on defense

Let's just make it a one possession game by half and we will be fine

Don't think we will do that, but get within 6 and we have a great shot at the win.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
DanaDane

Ugh. Then a bad turnover.

Bears with 1 assist 4 TOs.

Stay within six or so, and you're fine. Just don't let them go on a late run.
