Embarrassing how out of touch I am ... I didn't even know that. I assumed he was out the last few weeks I really enjoyed his comments on the show. I hope that works out for him and wish him the best there.
1. It seems we've had a much harder time manufacturing easy baskets when we're throwing the ball to Hayes instead of Landry. Landry's absence seems to leave T-Mac and Scola as the team's only strong finishers. Are the previous two games a symptom of this, or were they simply bad shooting nights? 2. Chuck has turned in some exceptional performances while Landry has been out, even though we lose a lot on offense with him on the floor. Has he earned a few more minutes than he'd been getting when Landry is back? 3. Bobby hasn't been shooting well lately, but I still feel like he brings a lot of good things like defense, energy, passing, veteran savvy, and a positive attitude on the bench. Saying he's terrible just because he isn't shooting well is short-sighted. 4. "Energy guys," or guys who hustle, may be the driving force behind this streak. We already had Battier, Scola, Landry, Hayes, and now we've added Bobby Jackson and Mike Harris. IMO, this streak is the result of sheer effort and force of will. 5. We have to make sure the offense doesn't stagnate. Standing around watching T-Mac and jacking up quick threes isn't what got us here. We need lots of movement off the ball.
1. Was there a secret deal with harris, kinda like finely (before george blocked trade) or barry? 2. Will we use our MLE this offseason? 3. Is Francis for an expiring contract next year, or do we still have confidents he can show up and perform like he did in the suns game or the last few games of the season with the knicks. 4. Is rafer recent bad games, reminds us who he really is? and that the player he was during the streak... a fool's gold? 5. What's up with Landry? Did he take an MRI, if so, any news?
Thanks guys -- we're starting in a few minutes so we'll try to cover anything posted. You can also watch/listen on http://www.1560.tv/.
i'm on board today guys, finally woke up again who loses playing time when landry returns? certainly not scola. so do hayes, deke, or harris get their minutes cut?
Nah, I think Clutch knows how I feel about Mike Harris. As for the Warriors, I don't fear them, at all now that Yao is out, we match up very nicely with them and can run with them a lot better. DD
Perry.....Shaq and Deke are about the same now. And I did toss out a little love for the "passion assassin" As for Van Gundy.......don't encourage the VanGundleberries to come in and support him.....you don't need that to ruin the show. Ok Clutch is right about the JVG offense....and how much of an improvement Adelman has been to the offense with more options.....well said sir ! DD
Soooooo...now we know who you are...puff daddy nuno answer: the Hawks, damn koncak and mookie blaylock
VanGundyBerries? I knew folks would start the JVG bashing again in spite of the fact that Adelman has been given a vastly improved roster to work with. You and the others seem eternally commited in wanting to pin the blame on him for what happened during the past 4 years. I seem to remember your relentless crusade against JVG where you blamed him for everything especially the so-called "ruination" of the great man love of your life Spanoullis. I also seem to recall how prominent on display this "blame the head coach" mentality was around here at the beginning of the season but now it's Rick Adelman, coaching genius. Good thing they didn't listen to all those folks around here calling for him to be fired after 12 games...
Hillboy, I am just kidding around, I know there are a lot of JVG supporters, you also know I am not one of them. Love him as a commentator, and think he is a good coach, just never felt he was right for the Rockets. VanGundleberries is a term I made up for all the JVG hangers on.....but it is more of a joke, really. It has nothing to do with JVG at all, but with the people who continue to cling to his backside. I liked Adelman from the beginning, still do. GREAT SHOW CLUTCH !!!!!! DD
