Wow. Kyle Korver sucks. Thibs is learning the hard way not to leave him in the game throughout the 4th quarter. Korver is almost singlehandedly responsible for the Bulls meltdown in the final 5 minutes of the game.
the cavs didn't even have mo williams (maybe that was the key ). if the heat struggled because of a lack of outside shooting, how do the celtics let a hickson/varejao/moon frontline and a sessions (1 3-pointer all last year!)/parker backcourt score 95 points and beat them. they took the night off just to piss me off is all i can figure.
Everyone else looks sluggish out there in comparison to Blake. I totally didn't expect this dominance from him coming out of OU.
Pacers hanging with the Spurs all game long until the 4th. FML 8.5 pts was a lock until the Spurs dropped a 30-20 fourth quarter on them. Not a good start to the season. Fortunately, the Kings squeaked one out or this could have been an 0-5 night...right now I can save 2. Go Rockets! Hawks crushing Grizz in Memphis is eyebrow raising; Nuggets destroying Jazz in Denver is not surprising.
I hope B.Griffin doesn't get injured anymore.. but his style of play makes it more likely for that to happen right?
I never did. He wouldn't compliment Yao very well. He's immobile on defense and a black hole on offense. He's a big #s on a bad team guy...talented, but not nearly as good of a fit in the PnR w/ Derron as Boozer was. Perhaps he'll develop a that aspect of bball because it's too early to tell, but the Jazz have taken a big step backwards in my book. Of course, I'm the guy who's 1-4 this season so far so what do I know.
well i read that griffins injury was actually caused the day before that preseason game when he bumped knees with craig smith (big strong guy). so i really dont think just because he dunks on a lot ppl means he will be injury prone :grin:
Brandon Roy has such a deadly jumpshot, what a great player. I remember 2 years ago even Artest/Battier couldn't really stop him. He is like a middle class man's Kobe.
LaMarcus Aldridge hasn't gotten any better since he was first drafted. He's still a jump shooting 4 with no post game.
Wow so I just saw Griffin's first dunk in the NBA. and my oh my how easily he could have gotten injury from that play. this guy is so gonna be injury prone during his career. i prefer PF's with fundamentals like Duncan who don't have to showboat. PFs like Griffin don't win championships.
