Butler had one of his best games of the season with 31 points and 9 rebounds. He had fourteen fourth quarter points including the game winning shot, a fade-away over Vince Carter with four and a half seconds left. Magic players said that they couldn't stop Butler and everyone in the building knew he was getting the ball but nobody could do anything about it because he simply couldn't miss. :grin:
Butler's last-second shot lifts Wizards over Magic Orlando , FL (Sports Network) - Caron Butler fueled Washington's huge comeback over Orlando, scoring 29 of his 31 points in the second half, including the game-winning jumper with a half-second left in regulation, to push the Wizards to a surprising 92-91 decision at Amway Arena. Butler also grabbed nine rebounds for the Wizards, who trailed by as many as 21 in the contest before outscoring Orlando by 22 in the third quarter to erase the deficit. In a back-and-forth final frame, Orlando's Rashard Lewis nearly spoiled the turnaround by hitting a go-ahead three-pointer with 4.6 seconds to play, but Butler answered with a baseline 19-footer to send the Magic to just their fifth home loss this season.
Couldn't miss? He shot 11-22 fga for the game. That's .500, although with his % this year it probably looks like that in comparison. +/- of -2 also. Not knocking on him, great that he hit the clutch shot. I'd call it a very good game. Also reading in this thread about how up until tonight he's had almost twice as many sub-15 point games(7) as he has games over 20(4) since Agent Zero left.
I know this is a odd question, but if Morey somehow worked a deal with the Wizards, and they insisted on young talent, would they take Taylor instead of Chase? They are the ones that drafted him in the first place. This is nothing against Taylor, Chase is just a good player of the bench with some great bb iq.
Thanks, I keep seeing Morey wants to keep the core together, and didn't know if that includes Chase or not. I'm assuming the core are the starters and the 4 off the bench.
Wizards forward Caron Butler has been mentioned in a number of trade rumors over the last month, something he's become accustomed to lately. "I'm popular," Butler said. "I've always been a popular kid, since middle school, I've been bigger than everybody. I'm very popular right now." Butler has had a disappointing season and Washington has struggled on the court and off with the Gilbert Arenas gun incident. "It's been hard to focus. It really has," he said. "You can say all the right things, about staying positive and moving forward, but it has been hard. It takes a toll on you mentally and physically. This is the only time that you can escape from all of that."http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/64515/20100206/butler_on_trade_talks_im_popular/
I'd rather not include Budinger in any kind of deal though unless we're getting something special in return.
Iggy is much more cocky than Butler. Spend some time on the 76er chat boards -- they hate the guy and want him out of town.
Seriously, chill out man. Nobody needs to read what you have to say 11 times a day. I'm all about rocket fan cohesion, but you need to RELAX. My guess is that you have dueling computer screens. One with World of Warcraft going at all times and the other obsessively posting on Clutchfans. Get a life man...
Oh, didn't expect that. Forget about both then, we don't need them and their terrible outside shooting. When Yao comes back we need a SG who can get to the rim and shoot the three.
Why the hell are you even on here??? you have like 50 posts in like 2 and a half years...your a troll...
Ooo, you said the troll word. Wow, you want to get all up on him don't you? You have like twice that amount and you call him troll? I'll take Carl over you every time. Some people only add when there is something worth adding, not rehashing the same stuff over and over and proposing unrealistic trades trying to be some kind of arm chair GM. Some people just want to see updates on their team and not have to go through pages of mindless drab to get to it.
If pepole want updates they can go here http://www.nba.com/rockets/index_main.html This is a MESSAGE BOARD.
