Nice to see Stevie in uniform. Hopefully he gets his chance soon, and kicks major butt. I don't see how he can hurt us, with T-mac out, nows his chance.
5 of their losses came by a total of 7 points....its just a matter of closing the game out for the clippers which they have yet to learn with this group
Thats a lot of filler, Camby is making 10M this season. Is he worth it, he didn't have much of an impact on the game.
If we sit and think about it, we should have a way better record then our record indicates. The portland buzzer, spurs collapse, Pacers down the stretch etc... I'm just saying that we lost a lot of close games, yet we aren't blowing out teams that we are suppose to like last year. Nevertheless, keep it clean!!
it's ron who needs to step up. others are doing their part. once again, he's shooting 33%. rafer really stepped up recently. way to go rafer. hopefully he'll keep this up. we need this play from him b/c brooks is very consistent now.
Once McGrady comes back, I think Artest needs to come in with the second unit. This will make McGrady more comfortable and Shane guarding the best players. Artest can come off the bench as the spark man and get his shots there. As of now he is Ron ARREST, when he shoots jump in the air to grab the ball
He makes 10m , but since the rox are over the cap, they have to get to 15% which is 8.5m . That's Scola, Head, Barry, and Francis. As far as impact goes, those blocks were at the rim which couldve been layups. He also had I think 10 rebs and 10pts. What I think really matter is the matchup vs anyone he provides the rox. Against La, no need to double Gasol which we have to do right now. Against Boston, we have no one with size or quickness to contest kg. Utah, if yao is struggling and we want to bring landry in offensively, he can slide over against boozer and still be able to rebound and protect the goal.
not only that, rockets don't need another injury prone player regardless of where he is on the roster.
People are always gonna complain until we win a championship, Its December, and we won against a sorry team and took care of buisness, and didn't even have to play our "A" game. This is exactly why I'm not worried bout this team, Artest is gonna come around, and the man is playing hurt. He'd be sitting out if T-mac wasn't soaking up the IR, but Artest is playing hurt cause his team needs him, so gotta lay of Artest, at least he is playing hard, his shot will fall soon. A win is a win, lets enjoy it and take care of Golden State Friday.
He had a healthy season last sason but that's not the norm for him. Prior to that he was still in and out which is just as disruptive. I'm not wishing any harm on him but I would not be surprised if he misses a significant amount of games this season. That's just what his history suggests to me.
I don't see how Camby can be considered a "good defender" if he won't even guard Yao. Randolph is no defender either. Camby only blocks on help defense. Other than that, he has no effect on their defense at all.
And thats what we need right now. A good SHOT BLOCKER and REBOUNDER. I'm not a fan of giving Scola, Francis+Head+Landry package would be good for Camby. Yao&Camby on the court in same time, alarm for Gasol&Bynum and Amare&Shaq duo's.
Camby's a surprisingly bad 1 on 1 defender. I was a bit surprised they went to Randolph though, although New York used to like putting Zach on Yao as well. Something to do with um...actually I dunno. Lesser of the two evils? Curry always had a hard time on Yao.
Exactly, if you think Yao is soft, then Camby is uber fluffy marshmallow. The dude is almost 7 foot but weighs 235 pounds on a buffet day. Why was Zach Randolph defending Yao in tonight's game? Not because Randolph is a good defender, god knows that's not true, but because Camby is too weak to handle Yao. Trading away Scola and co. for Camby's $10 million per year countract? No thanks.
