Can someone help. I have downloaded the link to both games. I try to open them after downloading and I get an error message. It stats that, the Compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted.
Thanks DoD for the excellent recap. I appreciate all of your efforts! Here is another link. http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=03X6SHARTLUYY1NTJ54WC51QPT
This is so great! DoD, this is so nice of you to do this. I really appreciate your observations about the games and more importantly the players we are most interested in. I just can't say thank you enough. This has really helped in a long, and sofar an uneventful, offseason. Great Work!
He hit at least 2 jumpers and the rest dunks. I remember Malick from 2 years ago had this move where he would slap the ball down repeatedly (not much of a dribble) as he tried to back his man in or set him up for a turnaround. I haven't seen that much this year yet. Someone must've told him not to do that. To answer your question, I don't think he's intent on dribbling and creating his own shot much.
Head only played a little PG duty - Crispin and Price played most of the minutes at the 1. Head showed good vision when running the break and when penetrating into the paint and passing out (one of the videos shows a pass he made down the baseline after driving, I think). He made good decisions after he got into the paint. The only big negative to his game I've seen so far is that his shot isn't falling. Of course he's playing against scrubs, so we'll have to wait and see if all the good stuff translates over to the NBA level where everything is a bit faster, stronger, and quicker.
Dr of Dunk, definitely a 5 star thread. Appreciate the scoop to help us get thru the boring off-season easier.
Dr. of Dunk, As a former graduate of the University of Texas, I, of course, am preoccupied with certain things, i.e., the performance of former UT basketball players. Did you happen to notice how Chris Owens did? I noticed that he played for the Milwaukee team and had a pretty good boxscore pointswise. Thanks
someone else was there yesterday... http://www.nbadraft.net/redetzke003.asp Game 2: Houston Rockets (2-0) 81, Milwaukee Bucks (0-2) 69 Impressive: While Andrew Bogut had by far the best game, special mention has to go to Lonny Baxter of the Rockets. If Lonny can keep this up for three more games, I don't know how he doesn't end up wearing a Rockets jersey this year. His post moves are so solid and under control and his strength always gives him separation. He even showed a light touch on his 18-foot jump shots. Baxter had 15 points on 5/10 shooting, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. Dion Glover seems to be one of those players who can put points on the board even when he plays a bad game. His offensive moves were forced and always found traffic, which contributed to his 3/9 shooting. However, he got to the line 13 times and finished with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Luther Head played more of a point guard role today and it worked out well for him to the tune of 6 assists, 3 steals, and 11 points (5/11 shooting). In one particularly nice play, Head stole the ball and took it the length of the court for a finishing dunk. His defense has been noticeably good at times. Malick Badiane, a wiry 6'11" center from Senegal, also played well. A whirlwind of activity in the post, Badiane went 6/6 from the field for 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks. He was always around the ball causing fits. Chris Owens of the Bucks had another decent game, shooting 5/9 for 12 points. He hit a few outside shots to show people his range and worked very hard in the post. Not-so-Impressive: Reece Gaines continues to be a disappointment for the Bucks. He was a dismal 0/5 from the field and scraped together 8 points at the free throw line. He also turned the ball over 4 times. Gaines has simply been too frustrated to play any type of basketball. Joe Crispin has been struggling for the Rockets. He shot 1/5 and ended up with just 2 points, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers in 20 minutes of play. He just can't seem to turn it up a notch to match the other players.
Thank you topfive. i have downloaded game one twice and game 2 once and i get the exact same result. there is probable a problem with my lightning quick dial up. Oh well, i'll just have to wait till cable gets here next week
r-fan-since-81, it almost sounds like the download isn't finishing. How large are the files that you have? The first game's file should be about 70+ megabytes. The second one was something like 26+ megabytes I believe.
Naa... I'm actually working on other stuff while I'm up here. I just go watch the Rockets play and leave.
