Wow, man did Wright and Randolph look great together. Not only blocking shots, rebounding and stuff, buit on the fast break together, too. On the other end, man was that Corey Maggette vs. Kurt Thomas matchup a disaster. Thomas just manhandled Maggette and showed him how it's done in the NBA. Altering his shots, taking charges, then posting him up on the other end. Boy, that was painful to watch. Everyone else on the team played well though.
Yeah, I was waiting for someone to post about the game. Maggette's in a slump. He's been missing a lot of easy lay ins. Not only that, he's just making some horrible decisions. When he's not effective at scoring, all the other things he does such as rebounding don't matter. He must score and score with efficiency in order for other parts of his game, which yes, I believe have improved, to really work. It looks like Jackson is going to sit the rest of the season due to a fracture in his toe. It's reported it has been a problem since 2007.
Yet Wright gets only 18 mins. They've got to sucker someone like the Clips into taking Maggs. Even if it means taking back some awful contract like Quentin Richardson or Marko Jaric. Get Wright and Randolph time, especially together and the end of tight games.
Wright still looks pretty rusty in spots. He seems to be getting coached a lot when he makes mistakes. That injury really set him back.
