Well, typically there aren't this many misses in a game for him to have that amount of rebounds and put backs. Also, he doesn't typically get to play the Bobcats. Do not be fooled comrades. Hill's boxscore tonight was better than he actually played -- rebounding and point totals were inflated by the Rockets apparently playing blindfolded. Positive take aways from the game: a win, and a ¿starting small forward?
Chandler might be the Landry Fields 2.0; looking like a steal. Can't wait to see him against the spurs in his new starting position. At this point I'm just looking for development not wins. I really thought Chandler starting was going to light a fire under Bud's ass; disappointed in his play; just not very aggressive. Anyone look at Bud on the bench? didn't look happy except for the one tip dunk form Parsons.
Also important -- Grizz and Spurs lost tonight. We beat the Spurs tomorrow (back to back for them too ya know) and we're like one game out of first.
This is like getting the bird in hand over two in the bush. According to DM 3-10 is still within reasonable expectations, and honestly I agree with all the b2b2bs against playoff teams (Spurs 3 times, OKC 2 times etc.). Now we've reached that minmum goal, we'll see if we can win one tom too.
Williams and Bud are highly expendable now. Add Hill to that and possibly Martin and I'd like to see what we could pick up. Throw in Llull and Donuts coming over next year and good god damn people, things could be on the up and up without us having to stoop to tanking. Which is dumb. Always.
I thought too we were pretty bad because of the blow outs. In fact we are just below average against contending teams or top teams.
Trading away Martin would be tanking. Unless you think you can get a superstar for him and some spare parts like T-Will and Bud.
Parsons is freaking legit. He's everything we wanted Bud to be in the starting lineup. Steal of the draft!
Really, Williams and Martin are becoming highly expendable. Budinger has another year on a minimum contract. At the rate Martin has started off the year, we can get Martin's production by giving CBud his minutes and trading him, without losing anything. Of course, Martin could go back to flopping around like a fish on the beach and have a parade to the foul line, but it hasn't happened yet this season.
