Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2007 I want to see what Gerald Green can do once they start to give him some minutes. He'll hit about 40-something% of his threes, dunk a few times on a fastbreak and then get schooled when trying to guard whomever he's suppose to be guarding. Sorry if that ruins the surprise for you but that's Gerald in a nutshell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 I'm not acting like Devin Harris is a little kid. I'm acting like he's giving up about half a foot and about 40 or 50 pounds to his opponent, and is most likely at a disadvantage should an altercation occur. If Barnes wants to pull his wannabe enforcer bullshit, maybe he should try it on someone his size. BTW, if you're watching this Nuggets/Wizards game, take note, this is pretty much a textbook example of a team running up the score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted I only see the score on Sportsline, which doesn't update as often as I'd like, but if they are right, 17 point lead is not really "running up the score".

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 I think it was 31 or 32 when I made that post, and has been around that for much of the 2nd half (26 as of this post). They're not letting time run off the clock at all, they're just getting the rebound and jacking up a three almost every time. Washington's since went on a mini-run, though, and that seems to have stopped now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 I suppose, but I think if you've got a comfortable lead at any point in the game (my idea of comfortable would probably be about 15 points), you should be content in just running off time and looking for good shots. That's just my opinion, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 Pistons crush the Clippers Without Mobley, team leader this season, they had no shot. If they really even had one.

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 If the Clippers can somehow sustain a solid record until Brand comes back, that could be a scary fucking team in the playoffs. I wouldn't mind seeing another showdown with the Suns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 That Celtics team is damn good. I like the Hawks effort, but with Perkins and Garnett at the rim, it is really tough to score in there. And not that it would have made a difference, the refs were trying to hard to be the stars of this game. They were calling all types of bullshit fouls on everyone from both sides and just killing the flow of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 Not so much stuff I heard, I guess; Noah just struck me as being a little cocky during the NCAA tournament, but hey, he and his team backed it up, so I can't complain too much. I don't really see his pro career being as successful, but I'll wait until I pass judgment on him from now on. But IIRC, wasn't there recently something he said as a Bull that created some brief controversy? Czech made some reference to him blaming the fans for something.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 Noah will be a better Ben Wallace. He won't be as freakish a rebounder but defensively and energy wise, he will be Wallace, without being a whiney bitch on the offensive end. And once again, I think the Celtics lack of depth is severly overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Czech made some reference to him blaming the fans for something. I think I crossed my wires, and somebody else was blaming the fans. Noah said the team wasn't playing as a team. So we need to step it up, and we've got to play together way better, because you can tell the way we're playing right now, we're not playing as a team. If I had just played my first pro game, I'd probably keep my mouth shut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 And once again, I think the Celtics lack of depth is severly overrated. That's mainly because people have no idea who some of these guys are due to there being no real reason to watch them the past couple years. Tony Allen was a forgotten man after his injury, nobody knows who Leon Powe is but the guy is a tremendous rebounder and decent low-post scorer and I'm excited about watching Glen Davis and Brandon Wallace develop. I would like to see them get a good back-up center though. A veteran that can spell Perk some minutes, but I don't know who will be out there come the trading deadline.

Cartman 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 I don't think there's a lack of depth at all. Posey is a very good 6th man (when healthy), House is a solid shooter, and Tony Allen is a very good defender and before his major injury showed alot of ability. Rondo is proving to be a real good compliment to the Big 3 with his stellar defense and average to above average passing. Also agree with Bridge's words on Powe/Davis.

That's just my opinion, though. I wouldn't call 15 points that comfortable of a lead unless there are like 4 mins left. Especialy when playing against Gilbert Arenas. I feel that when you get a lead by playing your offense, you continue to play your offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
