I'm thinking if Jordan had been in the game, we wouldn't have had as much difficulty. As raw as he is, he's still better at the 5 than PatPat
JJ with 12 pts and 8 boards says:" who the hell is scola and hill! " I bet scola is crying on the plane watching JJ just destroyed the nets...
I don't know. RA's been on his case because he's inconsistent. I think he misses defensive assignments or something. Chinese commentators analysing Yao’s play after the game saying it’s understandable because Yao is still trying to make his way back with limited minutes. "We must be satisfied because Yao is satisfied. Did you see him smiling on the court?" Yao is really an icon for them. He represents them and so they want him to do good. Yao has so much class. He was falling, missing shots, getting beat on defense by Lopez, etc. but he didn't show any frustration. It was like he wanted to show his home crowd that he was okay. For them not to worry. So this trip was important for him.
I'm guessing Scola's not thinking about the game at all, and just hoping to make it home become his lady delivers him of another baby. Doesn't he have all boys? I hope this one is a girl, then!
haha, wasn't JJ a revelation??? Now if JJ has become our scoring option, then we're really out of sync. JJ and CBud saved the game for us. This was PatPat's best game so far. What happened to CLee in the 2nd quarter? He had a 3 and a drive in the 4th though.
Worth it to wake up early. Very exciting game, especially the 1st quarter. Kevin Martin was throwin them down!

Kelvin Cato Syndrome all over again. Calm down, its just one game! Preseason at that. JJ is a serviceable defender but that's about it. These numbers will be his best numbers all season.

I didn't see most the game but everytime I see PP out there, he reminds me of Rodney Rogers' physically and with his game. RR was a big power forward who ended up being a pretty decent three point shooter as his career went on. I can see PP doing the same, expanding his game beyond the arc as time goes on but he has a LONG way to go. Luckly, it is a luxury the Rox have being so dam deep at all positions.
Nice game for JJ. He plays consistently better than his press, seems to me. Did JHill tweak something? Or was he DNPCD'd early on just to give PP more run? Chuck looks pretty good as a svelte slasher. If he can transform his mind as much as he did his body, he'll get rid of that hitch and become a decent FT shooter-- like the rest of the roster. Ish looks like a keeper, despite a couple of giveaways he might have avoided. CBud should start. Yao seems to be making slow, steady improvement in his game. Morey should sign the Scola sons now.
to me rodney rogers was a lot more skilled and talented offensively.....he had a smooth J with great range, could put the ball on the floor, and shoot of the dribble with a variety of moves to create separation PP seems more a utility dirty work player in the mold of AC Green
