I missed him in the first quarter, but I noticed that in the preseason. He definitely stepped it up in the 2nd though. Both he and Bosh looked deadly. His D, and that of the team in general, has surprised the hell out of me. btw, nice to have you back posting.
14 rebounds for Dalembert. That's so ridiculous. On the other hand, we've gotten more points in the paint in this game so far than I remember us scoring all of last season.
man i love this team. that second unit with Ukic, Kapono, Joey, Bosh, and AB was more than solid and has tremendous potential IMO. joey looks like he'll be a very valuable roleplayer off the bench. andrea continues to move exceptionally well on the court.
Bargs has to finish stronger when he's a couple feet away from the basket. But he is moving with more purpose without the ball, which was a major area he needed to improve after last year. The Sixers are making a run right now, so we have to pick up on it.
JO does look a little out of shape. he's got to box out dally HARD. raps aren't getting rewarded with some of the raps takes - reminds me of VC's struggles getting to the line late in his raptor career. thankfully we've got CB4, one of the best in the biz. man Brand is a beast and his jumper is looking better than ever. these are pretty evenly matched teams at this point. both have a lot of room to develop and get better though.
Good to be back! Why didn't Graham get any more minutes? Gotta stroke his ego a bit...get Kapono out and put in Graham!
I was about to agree but Kapono just sank a clutch 3. He's played great in this quarter. I love JO's impact on the defensive end. He gets fouls, but there's no denying he's intimidating their guards.
