    I still don't see Casspi as a real PF. We haven't seen him matchup against tough PF's like Zach Randolph, or Chris Bosh. I'm sure he can defend against jump shooting PF's like Ryan Anderson, but I worry what will happen when he gets posted up in the low block.

    Great stretch of games by Casspi! We can only hope he maintains this but he's been a great signing! I love McHale's facial expressions when one of the players does something to surprise him like Casspi's fadeaway. The cameras caught him doing it last year when the team would make unorthodox plays that somehow "worked". It's so funny to me hahaha

    it might be only me, but all those rebounds were pretty much dead balls. Did he got any rebounds in traffic?

    Casspi means "financial" or "relating to money" in Hebrew...

    Lets just call him "Money"

    against memphis is when you put the Asik Howard line-up in. Put Asik on Gasol and Howard on Randolph. Same thing with Miami.

    Casspi had his really good rookie year, but when Sac town started to play Tyreke Evans concentrated game, Casspi was not used correctly anymore. The same happened in Cleveland. When Casspi was traded the Cavs also drafted Kyrie Irving. When Scott decided that Irving will buy him the future, he doghoused Casspi. Now Casspi is in his perfect environment and I'm pretty sure he will contribute significantly throughout the season.

    He has a lot of moves. He seems to be an adept passer as well, has a good feel for the game. Gorgeous jumper. I'm very impressed with him. Defense remains to be seen, definitely strong on the boards.

    Good ball movement saves lives. Lin/Garcia/Motiejunas/Bev extremely good at that, which helps a non-leading player like Omri.

    If he continues like this down the stretch, he's a 6thMOY easily, IMHO.
