Annnnnnd Wesley Matthews (17pts) wins the Fanfest Trophy... it will make a great paperweight to hold down his huge stacks of cash when he has the window open.
Wes and Nic impressed the most to me. That one move by Nic when he had that hesitation in the fast break and dunked.... wow.
Yeah, that Nic move was sick! It made everyone else look really weird, like they were falling over themselves while he looked so perfectly smooth. Dude is simply graceful out there.
It was an excellent, sharp picture. There, I end with something nice about the broadcast. The image was sharp. Summer League games had a much worse image, and the same wall-to-wall interviews. So this was better. There, I end with something nice. I discovered that Armon Johnson absolutely can not shoot even if his life depends upon it....
In a post-game interview, Concave Head asked Roy why he's playing harder. He said it's because he now thinks of himself as belonging in the Lebron-Kobe group. But I think it's because Matthews is giving him competition for his starting job. They were even in the 1st quarter, when they matched each other shot for shot. Quick said that Aldridge didn't play hard a year ago because his contract had not been finalized. I remember that he was angry about it.
This was fun to watch. Elliot Williams was very impressive. He was just about everywhere. Might have snagged more rebounds than Kevin Love and Dejuan Blair combined...
