LOL at Warriors fans. They start out complimenting Scola then it goes down hill... http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2009/10/28/1104205/open-thread-game-1-rockets-vs#comments
Good game. Great to see Adelman giving the new guys quality minutes. Chase would benefit from this exposure especially on defense. Andersen showed some low post moves. Pity, Scola and Landry had good games that David was not used much. Now, let us all hope for consistency.
Great win!! AB, Ariza an Scola looked damn good!! Love Ariza attacking the rim and AB looks alot more poised out there then last year. Buddinger was solid, has some defence issues but im sure Batman can help him out!! DD you still like Maggette over Tmac after that??
Like I said in the game thread: We can thank Nelson for this one. His best days have passed him. He stuck with Maggette for God knows why. Sat Jackson for far too long. Didn't play his two best bigs (Andris or Randolph) the ENTIRE second half and instead opted to play small ball against a team who's posts were killing. He's stubborn to the point of ignorance. And for this game, I thank him for it.
comment from Warriors fan: "maggete’s bball i.q. could have been at r****d level and he wouldve played better" hahahahahahahaha
[rquoter] Hayes is 6'6 Of course he’s faster than Beidrins, but there’s a reason most centers are between four and six inches taller. He’s a defensive liability for the Rockets. by Jeremy Belvins on Oct 28, 2009 2:28 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs [/rquoter] Poor Warriors fan. They are so unacquainted with what it means to be a good defensive player.
No,that would be a mistake. Chase did well but it's better for him to come off the bench. He looks good with the second unit.
I think he needs to strengthen his body some. Something that worried me a lot when he was first signed was that I looked at his highlight mix and after so many of his finishes he seemed to land awkwardly. I couldn't believe he didn't injure himself on one of those landings. So i think added strength would help me land more solidly. I think he tries circus shots on drives because he feels contact and can't overcome it unless he has a running start (AKA momentum), so some strength or bulk may help. yes he did, but i think at his size and length, with solid hops, he needs to do it every time, unless he's able to just pull a quick up and under or something like that.
Right on the dot. We deserved to win,but Nellie made things easier for us. Randolph in particular looks very promising.
Oh hell yeah, that dude's a stud. He's active, mobile and can shoot a little. The Warriors have been my second favorite team for years and now, they have so much young talent, I just wish they had a coach and a GM who gave a damn. *Tear*
