Man if the Hornets, Grizzlies and Rockets keep above water, it will be the first time in 7 years that every team in a division is above 0.500.
Would love to pick up Chandler. Perry has the body to dominate at the three. Barnes and Jones will be top 5. Tough to trade that high
Just finish watching the NBA highlights, good win overall...PatPat with another double double, but congrats to Mr Lowry. Chuck and Martin did their usually duty and good news that Scola back in action...yet another injury happened but it was Budinger...I hope Bud dont miss to much games... Next match against GSW: PG: Lowry | Dragic SG: Martin | Lee SF: Lee* | T-Will PF: PatPat | Scola | Hill C: Chuck Hayes | Miller * = If Bud is back into shape he shall start
Me and Kevin Martin have a Love/Hate relationship. I Love that he gives us points but I Hate the way he goes about getting those points. There was a point in the game when he had an open lane for a dunkshot but he chose to fling himself into the defender BEHIND HIM to get a call to get to the FT line; he was so lucky to get that call. I was about to start chunking clubbed baby seals at the HDTV. Needless to say, I was embarrassed. I will give him credit, 18/18 ft, most of them coming in winning time, is very impressive but I can't, in good conscience, give him a "Man" rating. Kevin Martin - Manish
Even though chuck's offensive numbers werent tooo flash tonight, Someone should atleast mention his defensive effort on Jefferson, who has been on a tear as of the all star break. Jefferson couldn't knock down his half hook half push shots and was always bothered in the post. Its what we've come to expect night in night out but still deserves a mention. Keep on rolling Chuckwagon Annnnnnnd of course, Lowry, Martin and 2Pat. Fantastic
"Houston ROCKETS The TEAM OF THE MOMENT" Do we consider these guys our BIG THREE? 1.) PatPat 2.)Lowry 3.)Martin .? Scola??
No. Bud was out and Scola playing with even less mobility than usual both of those hurt the Rockets. The argument to start PPat over Scola may be reasonable. But certainly a less than 100% Scola should not take Away Ppat's minutes. And without Bud we don't have a SF. Plus it hurts the team's rotation. If Bud is out more than one game we may be in trouble.
True...because we dont have any other SF to use beside T-Will, and Courtney Lee hardly play SF. I guess we could get a call-up from the D-League but there isn't much a point because the season is ending in 2 week or so, and who ever that might be takes time to get use to NBA atmosphere.
Sorry, I cant work out the average but here is the website you could sort of see how he is going: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/lowryky01/gamelog/2011/
Great game...The Jazz had a run in the last minute, but fortunately Martin and Lowry put the game away. Lowry did a great job, congratulations to his first triple double. His performance lately has been fantastic, he is developing into a top tier pg, and he is becoming the leader of the team. I really like the way he went at Scola in the closing minutes of the 3rd qtr, when scola blew a help defense assignment...
Don't know about that but since the trade of Brooks, Lowry has put up these numbers: 19.3 PPG 7.5 APG 4.8 RPG 1 SPG 2.58 TO 49.4% FG 45.5% 3PT Is this his new normal or just a high aberration?
Didnt get a chance to read the entire thread, but this was a great game. Well deserved win. Anyone else @*@&@%%%@ at Jordan Hill yesterday. What is up with that guy.
As it happened with Landry, it's more likley the young guy is traded, cause in NBA you can get more value in return from a young player than from a veteran. If Ppat is atractive enough for a rebuilding team, in exhcange for a superstar (or for a good Defensive C), I guess FO woudln't think about it. As usual, no matter how much love for Ppat there is, for the team it would be better to have 2 different spots covered, than having 2 great players for the same spot (as happened before with Scola-Landry).
You mean when he was TRIPPED by the guy behing him? You listen to opposing broadcasters too much. Like the boob Heinsohn the other night when KG stepped sideways and into Martin's shoulder, a clear moving screen, and Heinsohn called it a flop. Why? Because Heinsohn is a boob! Martin is actually fouled 2-3 times more a game than they call because of people like you who just don't believe he deserves the call.
