Bowen and Mutumbo are the worst offensive players in the league, I don't care if its preaseason, summer camp, or just practice, they should never be on the floor together.
I like most of what I am seeing, especially the defense. It feels like we have lots of long arms out there and lots of speed, which is more than I could've said last year. The only thing I am concerned about is our outside shooting. For whatever reason, I feel like we are not as good as we should be from the outside (besides Barry really). I just wish we could've retained Padgett instead of Bowen, but that's not really a big loss. As for Luther, I really like his aggressiveness more than anything else; the man hustles, penetrates when he can, and has a quick release on his shot. I am really feeling good about his prospect a couple of years down the line, he will probably fulfill a nice role with this team for years to come.
One of these Orlando commentators hates Deke, he keeps on talking about how Deke never things he fouls and always complains to the refs.
You know that, and I know that, but a lot of other folks out there don't. One thing's for sure... that block -- the dead-run block of whoever it was (Diener?) who stole the ball and would otherwise have had an uncontested layup -- was a beauty to behold. Ryan definitely has some serious hustle.
Well, to be fair, I don't know that they're exactly hatin', they were admitting that there aren't many big men in the league who think they ever foul, and one of the announcers said "I wasn't one of them, I think I fouled once..."
I like what I see in the new guys. Head, Langford, Baxter..no wonder they went 5-0 in that summer league. They are more assertive and are more aggressive than the rookies we've had the past few years not from China. Granted it's only exhibition and they're not on the floor w/ our top 2 scorers, but they've looked impressive. I think we're going to have a even more solid bench this year than last year.
Gonna be? I'd say <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=100908&highlight=head+jokes">this thread</a> is good evidence he already is...
