He'll be a great offensive weapon when Harden and Dwight are on the bench or having an off night. What we lose in Chandler Parsons, we gained with Papa's crafty offense and Ariza's defense.
You're playing a team every day or two, you don't really have time, nor does it matter until the playoffs to be concerned about your opponents from an extended preparation stand point.

I think there can be a carryover from soccer to basketball. The back-and-forth nature (at a moment's notice), having to rely on one aspect of your body (legs and feet in soccer, arms and hands in bball)- and remember, Hakeem developed his bball skills from soccer. This is what is called over-analysis. :grin:
Believe me, we understand- we will never get tired of reading this from many years ago: Who said the rockets does not have the depth ------ to watch the Los Angeles rockets war feelings The rockets and before the lake person's competition three, a rockets hits the score backwardness to finish, the most high score difference reaches. /22 The fourth section 7 minute 45 seconds, JVG unexpectedly dispatches the backless stool to request reinforcements is taken to the threshing ground, takes the post of the anticipation is the rockets substitution by 22; 1 attack high tide pursues the score 94; 92, if not for three-time serves has not entered, the rockets will realize counter- ultra-Lucas three in the short 17 minute time, the height which seven does not arrive by his 1 meter 6 throws in 5, three minute 2 center 1, penalty kick 2 center 2, 5 blue pull the high efficiency which, 2 secondary attack, 1 strongly breaks to have lasting achievements, moreover Hyde's three minute balls in 84, also play in the critical moment the stable morale of troops role. Although competes finally comes to an end by the rockets defeat. But we are not difficult to see the rockets all officers and men to put together the vigor, as well as player's the and so on Lucas high efficiency, my volume applauds for Lucas, too has been good, small fellow,15! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! sorry my english is poor. maybe have many mistake.
Also, it would be great if it had the same font as "papa Johns" but instead said Papa nikolaou, with the "nikolaou" stretching way over the amount of space regularly allotted to "johns".
Yeah, In soccer, you have to learn to use both legs well and that really helps you develop a great mind to muscle connection on both sides of the body. Basketball can be a bit too unilateral because you only shoot from one side, So, I think those that grow up playing it tend to favor one side, unless they do a great job of working out both, which isn't always the case. The advantage would be the ability to cut, spin, pivot, reach, etc. on either side without hesitation and without loss of strength, accuracy, speed, and so forth.
Amazing how he has looked equally as bad this game as he looked fantastic the prior one. He'll figure it out though.
Big fan of this guys hustle. He's young and I'm damn glad he's on our team. When he figures out the NBA game he's gonna be sick!
The Celtic's announce team were praising what a great game he was playing and raving about his feel for the game.
Cool, I guess we need to start recruiting ex-soccer/futbol players turned basketball players for their great footwork ala Pap and Hakeem....
Lin was talented with a low basketball IQ. Papa is not that talented, but obviously has a mind for making quick smart decisions. How could he end up like Lin? Lin=Bad Turnovers Did anyone hear Dwight yelling at Kostas when he was too close during a post up? "Come on Pap!!"
Basketball iq is a talent. You could argue that it in order to be a great player, you need three essential things: physical tools, work ethic, basketball iq.
