It kind of looks like Mourning crapped out JVG

 

Really he's a foul a minute kinda guy just like Yao and they are both staying out of foul trouble tonight.

 

sorry.

it seems like the anouncers say this, or something like it (?) every time there's a foul, just my poor attempt at anglicizing it.

 

Pierce sure likes the free throws.

 

DA should just take a look at Ryan Bowen... all hustle, no selfishness, and he's getting all the playing time in the world.

If every one of our players hustled like Ryan Bowen, we would never lose a game.

 

That's unfair man. Ryan Bowen doesn't play more than 10 minutes. You can sprint for half a mile, but you can't sprint a marathon. He's a high energy guy, but the same time he becomes less effective when he plays a lot of minutes.

 

Uhh... Bowen's played 22 minutes (and counting) tonight and is still playing with the same hustle and energy from the opening tip.

Anderson has played 19 minutes and is still plodding along, and shooting any shot he can find. Even T-Mac expends exponentially more energy, and he plays 40 minutes a game, has a bad back, and actually plays defense.

 

When Bowen drops dead from JVG's energy expectations JVG will just send in a sub.

 

That's fine... but you can't say he didn't make a difference when he was expending that energy.

If you have talent, you can get away with coasting... but DA doesn't have that sort of talent anymore. He's a lot closer to Bowen in his skills than he is to T-mac... I just want him to show more hustle (and not the occasional "I'll turn it on this play... and take the next 3 plays off.").

 

Just judging from the stat line, but Wesley and Anderson don't seem to bring a lot to the table.

 

Refs are starting to catch Luther on his carry. He has been called twice this game. He will need to adjust. or he could just keep doing it, and force th erefs to keep calling it.

On another note, he uses the glass very well.

 

Additionally, Swift has showed great hustle tonight... and it makes up big-time for his lack of basketball IQ, and his uncannny ability to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

Nice win.

 

cant wait to see r2k's clips...tmac spliting defenders finger rolling it at the basket. That was friggin beautiful.

 

Oh then I guess it's "FAN GUI LAH". Means "it's a foul".

Seems the team is playing abnormally well this game. Gotta watch the reply tonight.

 

If a injured Tracy McGrady can give us 35 points 7 rebounds and 5 assists, imagine once he gets healthy.

 

nice win! hope we can beat SAC!!!!

 

He'll get us 35 points 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

 

Only thing that bugs me about this win is our lack of assists. Take a look at the Suns Game, Diaw and Nash had 13 and 12 assists apiece; and they scored 130. For us T-Mac goes crazy and we struggle to score 90. Assist each other guys!

5-12 feels a lot better than 4-12 for some reason.

 

Had his back been right tonight, he would have erupted for 50 points.Tracy once in the groove, noone can come close to defending him. even Artest would get a pasting.
