Antoine Wright for 3! http://www.sendspace.com/file/bdhvr9 Some background inspirational music to listen to while watching "the shot". <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/t9-CS2v8wcc&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t9-CS2v8wcc&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>
I just said it in another thread but give boone and sean an off season with some hard work on developing off. games. Sean's potential is super high, and i fully believe he can add a consistent mid range jump, shot, and more post moves to his freakish athleticism. I mean just watch him shoot, it doesn't look bad. He takes some crazy turn around fades, while not smart, and he misses em, they don't look bad. Boone need's to get some work on back to the basket moves get him a nice little skill set, and they are gonna be able to compliment each other as starters. I know it's wishful thinking but i don't think it's out of reach.
Haha. Thanks, NOMAM! Definitely higher than the rim, but a foot left and two feet long. Wide open, too. Completely uncontested.

I thought Wright was shooting the ball pretty well from 3 in the beginning of the season. Then once he had that shoulder injury, he started to miss everything. I wonder if the shoulder still bothers him enough to affect his shot, or if he's just lost all confidence in himself. I'm guessing it's the latter. He kind of seems hesitant, or he's trying to aim it in instead of letting it fly. Or maybe he just can't shoot. I don't know.
What bothers me about tonight's game, was the fact that Wright got so many minutes, esp. in the 4th, when he hasn't played in how many games? That and stupid rotations. Correct me if im wrong but isn't the point of having a lead to keep it and build on it. I don't understand how Frank can put a lineup that can just flat out not score out there and watch 10-12 point leads vanish. There's a trend between the 2nd and 4th quarter with the line ups that were used, and that's pretty much why we lost. Frank needs to realize that this is the NBA, teams are going to score, you can't put 3 guys on the floor at the same time who can't make a damn shot and expect to hold a lead regardless of how "good" their De is.
Ok whoever said to play Swat over Boone is not all there. Swat is more of a 4 where as Boone is more of a 5. Swat would get eatten at the 5. Plus Boone is getting better as we go, Swat is going to wrong way.

Stop with a gay bashing, it's not cool, it's not funny, the only thing it is is unnecessary.

Yes he's had crappy GM form last couple years (overpaying Colins and Carter, Letting House go, drafting Antoine Wright, etc) but if it turned out Ru Paul could do a better job Id be the first to say "long live the queen!" Cmon Jizz, I love your permanent cynacism and vitrol, but gay bashing, not cool. Just stick to calling him incompetent, not queer... mmmkay?
Were there really people wanting Rodney Buford back earlier in this thread? That's just sad. Why would you want to downgrade the team?

Even I coulda made that shot. Cmon now, you're better than that!!
You guys really jump on this team when they lose, and are very ecstatic when they win. You lost to Boston by 9, and Boston wants low scoring games, cause they have 3 big guns. Bostons goal is to frustrate you, it happens. It's not all bad.

I hope he gets his shooting stroke back soon.

you know what sux? we missed 16 FTS!!!!!! if we had made atleats 20, we'd be blowing them out. its the little things that always do this team in. thats what pisses me off
