I think Joel is just smart enough to "appear" to not want to fight, so he doesn't get the bigger fine. He boxes in the summer so I think he likes fighting just fine. BTW, I don't think you want a piece of ANY of the Przybilla family: http://dimemag.com/2009/01/beware-of-joel-przybillas-grandma/
He was the same then as now. He is incapable of being a GM unless 2 things happen: 1) It's draft day. 2) He gives away a bunch of Paul Allen's money to get the other GM to accept.
That's what I was thinking. I chuckled when somebody mentioned Bayless. I've never heard of a 6'3" "Enforcer". Pendergraph may have the stones to fill that roll though. That has been a criticism about this team the last few years - that we really don't like to play physical, and that we can be pushed around/bullied. I don't like that.
It's Pritchard's reaction to Whitsitt's teams of heavy tough guys. Now we have a roster full of skinny skeletons who rattle when they touch
Whittsitt brought in some truly borderline retarded or downright criminal players (Rider, Ruben, etc.) and that's one extreme I don't really want to revisit, but this team is desperate for the second coming of Grant or Lucas. I just want to see a balance between this: and this.
Tonight Vs. Dallas: 22 pts 11 rebs 4 ast 4-5 from three He's surprised me so far this season. He's solid.
Since he was a professional player for quite some time now, I suspect that his army service was very limited... He probably had a low impact HQ job he was allowed to miss a lot of to attend practices/games...
