[Summer League 2009] Game 5 - 7/16/09 - Houston vs. LA Lakers

i missed the game. can anyone tell me how budinger played? was he getting most of his points off jumpshots or was he taking it to the hoop, or was it a combo of jumpshots and cuts off the ball.

 

he missed his first two shots, but never missed after that...mvp of today's game

 

He was unstoppable thats all you gotta know. He had 25 points only with 9 shots. Thats how good he was.

 

Jodie Meeks didnt impress you? Because this would.

i think shortfuse was asking about how c-bud got his points. i am curious too since i missed the game.

 

Budinger played almost exactly they way you would want him to play for the Rockets real squad. Pick and pop, drive and pop, set and pop, drive and pass, drive and get fouled, lead the offense like tmac. He is everything we hoped Barry would be only more athletic and maybe even a better shooter. What makes it all better is does almost everything in the flow of the offense. He never looks like a rookie and never forces anything. Which makes me believe he will fit in perfect in Adelmans offense. If he can just improve his defense he will be a real asset this year. Not a starter but a smarter more team oriented Wafer. yeah he will never be as explosive but already his shot, passing and defense are better.

Nic Wise really stepped up for Arizona...

 

HaHa... Your soo late. But yeah thats him.

 

Budinger>>Novak
Dorsey>>Deke

 

Btw what kind of dunk did Chase do? I missed it because the damn thing froze up

 

Good job Dorsey, Budinger, and Newley.
I hope we sign these three guys.

 

Woah, woah, woah. Slow down there.

I'll agree with you that Budinger is the better player than Steve Novak, but you had the nerve to claim that Dorsey is superior to Deke?

Mutumbo's a 4-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, an 8-time All-Star, and is ranked 2nd all-time in blocked shots.

 

Dorseys not even better than Chuck yet..

 

You are going too far DD. Aaron Brooks was wayyy better SL player last year at the very least.

 

i guess "lostfans" is indeed quite "lost" lol.. id pick mount mutombo in his 50s over joey dorsey anyday.. at least the current dorsey lol..

 

I agree with lostfans

Dorsey>>>>>Deke>>>>>Hayes

 

Agreed.

 

It's the off season !!!! let our imaginations fly.

 

What were AB's stats? I find it hard to believe anyone can do wayyy better than 18 points in 20ish minutes a game. Don't forget the 70 percent shooting.
