Some help p[lease. I really wanted to view the videos. Seems everytime I click to those kinds of posts it says they are removed or bandwidth has been used. Is there something I need to down load? It's very frustrating. Give me a clue. p.s. Doc uh Dunk, you are so right on, thanks for your work.
DoD, I am curious about something I read on NBADraft.net... "The Rockets employed a nifty picking strategy. They would have two post players lock arms to form an impenetrable wall to set repeated picks with. I don't remember ever seeing this before, but it was sure funny watching two huge guys shuffle around on the court arm-in-arm." This apparently was from game 2, but I have not seen mention of it here yet. What was up with that?
What kind of spell did Ebi put on the Wolves to get drafted in the the first round two years ago? What a bust. 0/4, 6 Fouls, 4 TOs in 18 Mins in a Summer League game, plus all the negative stuff that's happened with him earlier this summer.
Anyone have any international frequent flyer miles they can donate to Badiaintscoringineveryothergame? After 0fer's in 2 out of 3 games, the Rox may not even provide him with a ticket back to Germany. You may have to take Malissinginaction to the airport and put him on the plane, I hear he gets lost a lot.
Missing in action referred to his on court performance. Check the box score...he played, but he may as well have sat on the bench.
thanks, DoD! Great work, as always. I really, really hope your Boki analogy on Head is off. He probably won't fare as badly as Boki, but he might end up being a poor starter at best (which, actually, would be quite fine for the 24th pick)
Thanks! where was glover? I hope Badiane gets better and Head gets to play this season I think EG is in Houston..is he in summer league..?
I probably should've typed up something on him considering he scored 17 pts. His FG% was bad, but he kept getting to the FT line which is where he was getting a lot of points. I noticed that when his shot was off, he either stopped shooting or was told to stop shooting in the 2nd half. He didn't try to shoot much after that. That's about when Baxter took over.
It seems like Baxter was the biggest guy out there..the defender was about his height..or a little taller? He did look pretty good though. I wouldn't mind having him as our 3rd stringer instead of Weatherspoon. And Howard uncertainty with health.. But thanks again! At first, I thought #21 or #1 was Head...the guy who made that layup. Where's Badman?!?
#21 is Hollis Price #1 is Billy Keys (?) #4 is Luther Head #16 is Malick Badiane Malick didn't really do much in the game, so no clips.
