    First, ESPN needs to get off the interview kick and stick to the action.

    The action:

    Langhi has a solid, sweet stroke. He is showing the ability to create his own shot and has grabbed a couple of boards. He does a great job of squaring up off the dribble, which helps the consistency of his shot. Had a nice Reggie Miller-like step back jumper before half.

    Grif awesome left shot over Russian on that break. Challenges a lot of shots. Didn't see much more.

    Kelly has some hops, might be a good developmental guy or 5th guard candidate if we can't pick up a vet.

    Jazz's Russian is pretty impressive kid. Great shot, solid passer, good defender (stuffed Langhi) and athletic to boot.

    What did ya'll see?

    Griffin blocked 3 shots I think, T-Rockets had one block, and Langhi's tearing the Russian guy up.

    Grif looks real comfortable in the low post...two turn arounds are reminding me of another "E"

    For those old enuff to remember the Big E, he had a great turn-around and turn-around/fade away (off-the glass also).

    Maybe we can call him Little E.

    Langhi has a great release...quick also...I like his stroke a lot.

    End of 3rd...

    Rocks 56
    Jazz 57

    TMo ain't lookin to good. Air ball on wide open 3, travel, looks lost...

    Colson has a scoring mentality and not a PG.

    Eddie has 17 with 8:30 left and is looking good down low and outside...his shot doesn't have a lot of arch on them

    I still don think Eddie is giving his best effort.. he is not challenging many shots.. he is not running down the floor very effectly in defensive end..

    im really impressed with his turn around fade away shot (rasheed's signature move??)

    Colson is not a PG, in fact, I'd rather have Kelly as a back-up guard than him.

    Griffin's turnaround jumper is frightenly quick. In fact, all of his shots are so quick, its almost unblockable.

    It's homer time now. Believe.

    What is wrong with TRock's hands??? He's bungled the ball more times than I can count.

    Yes it was. You were probably confused because of his ability to dribble and shoot.

    TMo just seems unfocused

    Yes, Rod is playing w/Jazz and using Colson like toilet paper.

    I've heard so much about Grif's D, but his O is looking pretty damn good.

    He has a good base and posts well, but he's hit a variety of outside shots and they are barely touching net.

    He'll need to work on his passing out of the post a bit, but at least he seems to know when to get rid of it.

    Langhi looked great in first half and came out strong in second, but has disappeared since he shot an airball...ball has been going to Grif.

    This is sort of off subject but can we make a list of all the players Roderick Rhodes ripped in his rookie year? I remember Jordan, T. Hardaway, Payton, and I think Kidd. He just took the ball from players like I have never seen before.
