    Do all your posts contain bad language and bad grammar? What does post count have to do with anything? He just pointed out the obvious. What's your "supposed-to-be-high-post-count" moniker?

    1. My bad, alright I meant versatile in comparison to Novak. Novak can't guard like Head. And head can't shoot like Novak. All I'm wishing for is to not worry about his lack of defense, but to make him shoot the 3 like he does, while penetrating and making plays for him, so he CAN shoot them, lights out, without him creating for himself, cuz he can't do that.

    2. Looks like gradually, he will be getting some more playing time . . As Brooks and Scola both did too, Novak should also soon this season . . Because hopefully come playoff time, Novak can be a serious deadly weapon off that bench.

    I think that is more like it. As other have suggested, Novak is best suited to play spot minutes. If his shooting is on, keep him out there. He could be effective now playing 8-12 mpg.

    Kind of funny:

    "I thought Yao played much more aggressive," Harrington said. "It seemed like he was (ticked) off because he hadn't had success against us and he really showed it."

    Extremely small sample size but Novak is shooting...

    60% FG
    69% 3PT
    100% FT (career 4-4)

    Yup, that would be much needed . . He could even hit about 1 to 5 3's in 8-12 minutes of playin time . . He just needs to play smart defensively . . Alrighty BrooksBall, thanks for hearin me out on Novak, I hope RA does too lol! . . And thank god Durant got the Spurs in check today, I was hopin for the Knicks to get owned too, but they won isntead ='/. Alrighty I gotta study for some tests, gnight.

    We'll take it. We can't afford any bad luck right now.

    We should be fielded in at least for the end of quarter plays to spread out the floor when T-mac handles at the top of the key or runs the pick and roll.

    I think I agree with more of your posts than any other member in this forum... even the sarcasm.

    I think you have a good perspective on this team's situation.

    Well, Just had a recap of the game highlights.
    Brooks and Head are simply too small to play big mins,
    nevertheless can be both used as secret weapons
    against some teams. I wish we could have some PGs
    like D Williams... God, it was all the fault of JVG with
    a stupid victory later season which cost us Roy.

    I wonder how much having Chuck Hayes out of the line-up and relying more on Scola/Landry made a difference for Yao.

    I would consider it to be only a temperary change to match up GS (no PFs) rather than a permanent one. Well, lets see...

    Great win tonight and great effort. The substitution by Adelman is spot on but
    I still don't believe he left out Hayes. BUt he is probably knows what he is doing. Against GSW, it's not about defense. It's about out-gunning them and tonight I am surprised we scored 111. But then what's with AB having bricked all his shots. I hope he is not trying to join Hayes :D . He probably hit a rookie wall already. Hope he'll get out of it quick.
