Wow, Moochie Norris looks good right now. He is bringing the ball up court quick and making things happen. Hopefully he keeps it up.
Mooch is running the point well. He's not stopping at the left wing like Francis does...I know it's not a set play...it's habit. Raja Bell isn't playing Utah Jazz basketball...we've seen him make about 4 bad decisions already...
Yeah, there were a few boo-birds. The point was that the damn crowd never seems to give a damn, unless the team is down by 10 with 4 minutes left in the 4th and the team is making a run. I'm just venting.
Since Francis has gone to the bench the Rockets are looking a lot better. I know the Utah starters are resting, but the Rockets offense is smoother when Francis is on the bench.
Strengths: Extremely athletic swingman, with great size, long arms and great explosiveness. His size and athleticism make him a very interesting prospect. This is a guy who has everything to be a star in Europe and a “player” in the NBA. He is playing his first season at a high level and has already earned an important role on a team with other young stars like Cabarkapa and Koljovic. He has great ball-handling ability for his size and he's a force offensively. He's unstoppable when he's on, because of his great arsenal of moves. He can penetrate with both hands, using his speed and crossover. And if you leave him space he can shoot in your face, off the dribble, with the pull-up jumper. He's pretty fearless about going inside, and has a great knack of finishing in traffic with acrobatic moves. He plays very aggressively and he wont hesitate to dunk on people. He can score a lot in spurts. His offensive game is complemented with nice passing skills, and court vision. He's basically a complete package on offense. The sky is the limit. http://nbadraft.net/profiles/alexsandarpavlovic.htm
Kirilenko has blocked Yao on help-defense about 6 times in the last 5 and 1/2 quarters these two teams have played each other.
Finally... 5 minutes after I pointed it out... they finally get free throws from being in the penalty.
