It did seem like everyone was really pushing for that consideration, with drexler continuously mentioning it and then kmart referring to kyle as his "all star point guard" in the post-game interview. But yeah, the triple double would have been nice.
When was the last time we beat the Spurs by 20? Then again, can't remember Tim Duncan sitting the entire 2nd half before either. That was weird.
Dalembert should start. Twill and Lee just earned a lot more playing time. Martin back to his old self. Bud losing his mojo? And Scola? Well Scola forever.
Great win over a great team! I didnt get to watch most of the game because my net went out but looking at the boxscore, Dalembert beasted on the defensive end again. BTW, did Blair really just beast on teh boards or did we just forget how to box out?
I was waiting for the chant. Seriously though - "he look ok". They were serving them up to him. And even though the Spur player (not sure who) made the shot, he had to really throw it up high to get over Thabeet. I'm not sure he'll pan out but I've got to say I'm rooting for him.
Spurs played like an old team on the second night of a back-to-back. And its not a surprise to see them coasting at the start of the regular season. Great game by the home team, but I want to see how the Rockets respond to this win tomorrow on the road.
Kyle Lowry = Allstar Insert TWill and Dalembert into the starting lineup! Kyle Lowry = Most Improved Player Kevin Martin = Scoring Champ Courtney Lee = 6th Man Of The Year Playoffs here we come!
Loved what I saw tonight overall. That three from downtown by Lowry? A thing of beauty! I like that we've seen more of the deep bench guys due to increased rotation (presumably for resting the starters due to the season schedule), but it stinks that the higher producers may not get the stats that they deserve (specifically Lowry, who would have had even better stats had he been able to continue playing, instead of resting). I'd love for Lowry to get an All Star nod.
Twill your lacking a go to move. Stop trying to make the fancy pass and get your signature move. Scola has a hook,Martin deadly 3 shooter,c.lee slash and floater,Lowry unstoppable rim attacking.
I haven't seen the first two games,and it's hard to read through the posts,so please excuse me for asking is Patterson not playing because of his ankle injury?
Please start Dalembert and T-Will now. They are awesome. Hill should still get alot of minutes because he's not playing bad but Dalembert is what we've needed on defense for the last three years. Budinger has to walk after this year.
Now we're seeing what we've been missing without a 7 footer in the paint. I haven't checked Dalembert's numbers yet, but he altered numerous shots, thwarted drives to the basket, blocked shots, rebounded... everything you want from a defensive presence in the paint. He even hit his freethrows. Not going to scare anyone with his offense, but we don't need that from him. Color me impressed!
