about as classy as a player who walks over and stands over his opponents who are on the ground.

 

Even though it was a tough loss, a lot of good things tonight(aside from yao's usual 2nd half meltdown). Namely Head, i know a lot of us have been saying he needs to start and for once our BBS dreams came true. He has played terrific in his last two games and continues to improve every minute he is on the floor, i.e. pump fake 3 pointer with 2 sec. left on the shot clock and draws the foul. D.A. fell into his roll nicely tonight. He is still taking a few ill-advised shots, but 19, 5, and 4, shooting 70%, is still nice luxury, he has shown he can step un into a scorers roll, if need be, and if he stays consistent(very questionable). Wesley seems like he is getting back in rythm, maybe not tonight, there is no way he can keep up with terry. One thing i have noticed game to game is the team is starting to gel a lot better. The guys are learning to play with eachother. Things like that near connection between swift and barry, granted it was a missed dunk, but still it proves to me that the guys trust eachtother a lot more. Speaking of Swift, he still needs to prove he can make better decisions on the floor, give him a little more time to adjust but i think he will come around, and hopefully keep the 3 point shots out of his game. I would like to see him show some more emotion though, get angry after you dunk it in Dampier's face and get the and 1. Juwan is Juwan, you know what your going to get from him night in and night out. The bench was exceptional tonight with 34 pts, i think, you can correct me. Other than Yao's play in the second half, which im not going to get into, there has been plenty of that tonight, I believe with all of our peices healthy and gelling, we are very much still in a good position.

And that is my 11 game statement

 

Anybody catch the post game reaction from Gundy?

A reporter asks "Stromile's shot, that was not what ya'll wanted?"

Gundy looks at him incredulously and replies "that is very astute" and then nods his head with a smirk.

Oh man it was classic.

 

I wish we had chris paul.

 

Yao frustrated the hell out of me in tonights game BUT....

....I am not going to give up on him. He had a bad start last year too but he looked dominant as the season moved on.

In 1 or 2 years, when everything comes together for Yao, he will make us all eat our words.

Make me eat mine Yao! I am counting on you!

 

this is a very powerful post. GARM is full of whiner cry babies. lets all just be glad david wesley's not air balling three-pointers anymore!!!!!

 

Faulty logic.

 

I missed the game...what happened...was there something else between Josh Howard and Yao this past game?

 

I do not care last 3 loss, with or without T-mac,we may lost those games. Great thing is that Head appears to be a true thing, or we may never know how good he can be in this season, you know JVG does not trust younger player.
