Now I'm waiting for Clutch to announce his shoe deal in China.
I didn't get to see the game, but looking at the box score Hayes and Scola totaled 28 minutes, meaning we didn't have a "traditional" power...
This is off a recent article on the Chronicle. Not much to say about it, but I thought it was relevant to the discussion here. I do get the...
I saw that play and I disagree. IMO Alston didn't think he had the angle for the alley oop and so decided not to throw it up. (IIRC, there were a...
I thought I saw a lot of empty seats near the court as well. Was that really the case? By contrast, I watched Boston's home opener against the...
There was one sequence in the first half where Alston has the ball on the perimeter and Scola comes up to set a pick for him. Alston waves him off...
I agree. I'm interested to see how the frontcourt rotation's going to hold up. We've gone with a smaller frontcourt when Yao rests, such as...
That last lineup - James/Head/Bonzi/Hayes/Scola - kind of worked I guess but kind of sloppy though. And there didn't seem to be anyone to set the...
Hasn't Battier already missed two 3-pointers, too? He should be benched.
Perhaps a swap of Kirilenko and Marion?
I say neither for now. Seeing as how they played this way all last year, the starting five are used to the lack of offense from Alston....
Congrats, clutch!
First the debate was Francis vs. Rafer or James for Starting/Backup PG. Then, it was Francis vs. Head for third-string minutes. And now...
If JVG had Hayes and Scola to man the PF, instead of just Hayes, he probably would have green-lighted that deal.
Great posts from OP and others at the game. Thanks. It would be good to have a separate "Thoughts From the Nth Row" thread for every game.
I'm torn on picking up Howard. As other posters have pointed out, he would make a great third string PF/C and insurance for frontcourt injuries....
Butler looked horrible during the preseason games I saw. It would have taken a tremendous leap of faith for me to believe that he was a diamond in...
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how high Hollinger ranked us last year?
Well obviously, it's my opinion. No way to prove it either way. But from what I've seen so far, Scola looks to be the type of hardworking...
JVG would have LOVED Scola. There's no question for me that Scola would have gotten a ton of minutes, and the whole "JVG hates foreign rookies"...
