I dont know about you guys but I will be noticing Battier carefully once playoffs starts. He has had bad showings in playoffs so far. He works hard every game but his lack of athleticism gets exposed in playoffs where every team plays hard.
Those guys in the Rockets jerseys running up and down the court ought to be embarassed of themselves.
News Flash! McGrady is not that young, athletic, physical specimen he once was about 5 years ago. His athletic ability is on the decline and people rather say it's his killer instinct or he's lazy. It's neither, he just can't. He struggles more against smaller players believe it or not (Fisher, Carter last night) because he can no longer beat them off the dribble and if his jumpshot isn't going then his scoring is held in check. People will then pint out "Well he did it last night when he scored 35... blah blah". Yeah well, that's what happens when a great player is physically on the decline. Some nights he will have that bounce in his legs and some nights he won't. The main reason he is struggling with his shot is because he relies SO MUCH on his jumping ability to shoot because his shot has no arch.
I hate it when Bill Worrel just reminds me that he is on the ROX payroll. He just make excuses for everything.
HEY! At least we can take solace in the fact that it looks very likely that Scola will finish in the 10 ppg range... Now if only Houston's defense would stop Utah...
I'm trying to figure out how in the middle of the play sopcast just STOPS and goes to two people talking.
