Just wanted to let everyone know that I thought Stevie blew it with the game on the line. The guy dribbles into a crowd with no control. He is responsible for losing the game...as much as Mobley is with his bad passing, no assists, and late game shot selection. Willis, can you lose the ball out of bounds one more time? He Kelvin...how's the view from down there. Rice...how's about a little game we call shoot the ball, make the basket? Moochie...go to your right! Walt, thanks for making some of those threes late in the game, now how's about a little D! Eddie...did you really think you were going to keep Shaq out of the paint? There you go, I think I bashed about as many as I could for you....I feel so cheap.
I'm glad you bashed everyone but why did Mobley's have 3 or 4 bashes while every one else had only one.
hehe. Hey...you're a good sport. You've got to admit; it is funny and ironic that the first Mobley bashing this year happens, because he attempts a pass....lol. I was talking to Clutch about on the phone this morning (he didn't see the game, and hasn't been to the bbs yet today working out www.clutchcity.net problems), and he was laughing! Curly, we have different takes on when to bash; that's all. bring it, but be prepared, because I could cheat by pulling out tape. hehe btw: Am I the only one that was hugely impressed with Kenny's passing. He drove lane twice in a row (or thereabouts), spinning and first found a spotter left corner (swish), then the eye-popping one 280 degrees into a fast spin to find a 12-footer to Eddie.
It was a combination of things that cost us that game last night. Without Francis and Cuttino we're not even in position to do anything. They gave us 52 points last night. They fried the Lakers backcourt as far as going after the Lakers defense. A 1 point loss to the world champions considering the Lakers actually played a pretty good game speaks volumes of how far this team has come.
I was VERY impressed with Kenny last night. Didn't he also drive the lane and dish to Willis for bucket/foul? KT has been showing that he can beat pretty much any PF off the dribble, and now he's showing that he can make some pretty nice passes when help comes. He's becoming a very dangerous options...
The irony is thick as it gets. Right now, Kenny has shown the biggest improvement of any player on the team. Oh what a world it would be to have a team full of players that come to play, keep their mouth shut, and just play hard every trip up and down the court. Except for that play where he let the clock run out while dribbling at the top of the key....oh but why did the guards give it to him there with little time left anyway....that must have been where the game was lost.
Kenny's passing was no doubt good last night (except for the pass into the back of Lindsay Hunter... oh well still got the basket offthe play!) But I disagree about his dribbling - he looked terrible with his handle last night, losing the ball on several occasions even after beating his man - but on the positive side it appeared that that was the exception rather than the rule. I just hope that Rudy gets him to work a few more of his post moves, we need something inside every now and then! KT's finishing was really good (and must be if his FG% is any indicator over the season!)
