    Not at all. Its about damn time people realize Shandon is probably the best and most consistent player on our roster.

    Shandon Anderson looks alot stronger this year. You can tell he was hitting the gym this summer, maybe he can teach something to Dan" SKINNY" Langhi.

    Ohh I would say, maybe , (wait for it) NOW! [​IMG]

    Jk, man was Shan something else tonite??
    Him and Wiz are the real bright spots so far this year.

    I almost included Mo too for his shooting, but with him down, I can't really say he's a bright spot right now.

    I agree we do need a 3. I think Rudy will address that issue in the upcoming draft or at the trading deadline.

    Dude wakeup. Thats only one game. Im talking about a true 3. Walt is more of a shooting guard because he can't guard anyone.

    I gotta admit, I was real impressed with Williams' ALL-AROUND game tonight. He seemed fairly aware on defense, and he lit things up offensively.

    Just one game, I know, but hopefully it's an indication of things to come. With our roster quickly depleting itself because of injuries, we can take all the "stepping up" we can get.

    Shan is great, he's the best defender on the team, can bust out for 30 any night, and complements our stars Stevie and Mobes.

    Yeah, what's up with this Walt guy? He's only giving us 18 pts per game (on 52% fgs), 9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game. We need a 3 who can play much better than this. [​IMG]

    Now is the perfect time to trade Walt for Rashard Lewis

    Walt's improving in my eyes. Robinson still went off for 20+ but he was doing exactly what was expected of him: hitting the open shot. He's come up with a few big defensive plays as well. However, he is NOT the SF of the future by any means, so when it comes draft day, if no quality big man is available, I'd still draft Terrence Morris by all means.

    Anyone else notice how many rebounds seem to fall in his lap?

    I'm glad to see Walt gettin his shine on. He is like our 3rd highest paid player on the roster. Hey out of those 3(Dream, Cato, Walt) he is probably the only one really earning his money right now, huh?...

    ------------------
    I'ma need more than 6 and a half rebounds a game from the PF

    Lil Francis,

    Why no comment (nevermind taking the time to say that)? Is it because you know he's right?

    Probably.

    I have to give some props to Lil Francis. At least he's here defending his position on Walt (sorta). I know a lot of Walt-bashers out there who are ... silent all of a sudden. You know who you are. Don't tell me 2 games changed your minds, when 25 games didn't do the trick last season!
