Also, Miller just got done playing with Iquodala, a similar player to Roy. I'm sure they were fine last year.
This is a perfect example, but you'll see much better this year. [video=youtube;Kcbq0Uz1WWo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcbq0Uz1WWo[/video]
If by at his best you mean the score keeper padded his assists then yes that was a great game of excellent score keeper help.
It's Sergio-esque! What kind of mindset looks to find an accounting error in such an entertaining performance?
My son and I just got back from the game. Here is what I thought! I think the final count was something like 16,743. It was a record for a fan fest game, the announcer said. I know, I feel the same way. He doesn't seem very social. But who cares. Did you see how LMA almost didn't even want to talk? He tried to pass the mic to Blake. I took that as he was mad at the team for not signing him and that is his way of making it known. He doesn't even want to talk to us. I got bad vibes from LMA tonight. I agree. LMA hit the gym HARD this year. And his new tattoos make his arms look bigger too. Yes, I think easily they could get 10 boards a game. Oden\LMA Yes and yes! DC is VERY good. He is a mini-LMA with a lot more athleticism. Nice mid-range jumper, will grab boards and can dunk with the best of them. He was at 10 and 10 (not sure about blocks) at the end of the 3rd. He was a BEAST on the glass. If he got a rebound for every ball he touched in the game, he would have had 20 rebounds at least. He is a MONSTER on the glass. I am not really worried about Greg anymore. Not a bad comparison, but I think my comparison of a mini, more athletic LMA is a better comparison. Dante is good. That kid is going to make Outlaw gone by February. I think so!!! I like Trout, but he is useless at 4 and we have too many better 3s. Dante is as good or better than Outlaw, RIGHT NOW!!! Imagine after a few years of seasoning. Indeed! Anyhow, the teams looked REALLY good tonight. Here are some of my thoughts from the game. --- Center\Power Forward - Oden is finally the real deal. I am telling you guys, he was a freaking BEAST tonight. I was very pleased with his game tonight. ALL over the glass like a window tinting! (has that one been used before?! lol) Joel was Joel. Looked good, but I can see him leaving the team next year. Sad when it will happen, but I think it will happen. Especially if Oden keeps improving. I would love to see Joel take a pay cut, time cut and stay with us to get some rings. But he could start on 75% if the teams in the league, if not more. I am worried about LMA. I am just getting weird vibes about him. He seems, not all there like he was last year. Like, there is not the look of Blazer pride on his face, like you could see last year. He didn't even want to talk in the mic at the pre-game. Immediately I was like, oh shit. LMA is pissed. I think he is mad about the contract. Howard still has game left in the tank. He is money. Floor leader, great communicator and passer. Small Forward - Batum. My man! He looks great!!! I still predict a mini-Pippen type career for him. Kid is going to be something special. Webster also looked really good! But he still missed a few shots where you were like, damn, that form sure looked nice. Too bad he missed the rim. But I am excited for sure about Webster. He has a lot of heart, is a really classy, good guy. And he dunks with power! Which I really like. Outlaw = chucker. But every team needs one chucker, right? I am not too worried about it and his glue\chemistry is valuable to me. A lot of the guys really, really like Trav. And so does the media. Not sure if Dante is a SF or PF, but I will put him here. He looks VERY promising and I really, really like the kid. Like I said above twice, he is mini-LMA and will learn a lot from Aldridge. Shooting Guard - Roy was Roy, but on cruise at 55 mph tonight. He doesn't need to impress anyone. He is the man. Rudy looks like he is taking Nates advice about driving more, taking control of the court more and running with the ball on the fast break. Had some good passes. Some good shots. I still feel like I should see more of his 3s go in the hoop. Point Guard - Blake, looked pretty damn good, I must say. He is the hardest worker on the team it looks like. He was hustling like a man wanting to keep his starting job. Making shots and looked good. Miller is a good floor leader for sure, with or without the ball. He is always talking and pointing. He may be a bit odd off the court, but on the court, he is the man. He still seems a bit out of place with our guys, but that is expected until he gets some red and black under his belt. I honestly wasn't paying much attention to Rex tonight. I can't tell you anything he did, besides a couple of cool dunks in warm ups. I was too busy watching Blake hustle and DC impressing. -- Guys. Our team is going to be really good. I would go to as many games as you can this year. Even if they are nose bleed seats. This team is something special. If we keep this core together of Roy, LMA, Oden, Batum, Rudy, Webster, Travis and Blake... we are going to be a champion in the near future.
