i just don't understand why kurt thomas got so much time down the stretch, and i dont understand how he is still in an nba uniform. getting 5 PF in his first 7 minutes, letting baron davis' corpse blow by him, being unable to get 4 inches off the ground, etc etc. this is right up there with the lucas game in terms of "wtf was thibodeau thinking". if asik plays the second half instead of kurt thomas, i think we probably win this game. i just don't understand it. asik was pretty good in the first half (6 boards)and then flat out got benched. if he wasn't hurt, why the hell was he not playing the second half? because he got in some stupid doghouse or something? there was one point in the 4th quarter where scalabrine and kurt thomas were on the floor at the same time. inexcusable.
