Is his salary due to the shortened season on the day that he signs? http://www.hoopsworld.com/portland-trail-blazers-team-salary I'm pretty impressed by Joels numbers against Miami 3/1/12 19 min, 1-2 FGM/A , 2-2 FTM-A, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks. I think at $654,281 we got a our moneys worth for rebounding.
Well then, you got your money's worth - even if he doesn't grab another rebound for the rest of the season. BNM
HCP, can you get that Przybilla tribute video and post it here? Or is there some copyright issues at hand?
I was very impressed with how he played last night considering the situation. Let's hope he keeps it up! If so, it will be money well spent.
I forgot how important pryzbilla was to this team. He not fill up the stat sheet, but his play is contagious. When he's on the floor it seemed the team played much better defense. It's like he just gets it and the other players have to play his style or they look like fools.
How was he moving last night? I was at the Timbers match last night so I obviously didn't see the game. A lot of posters thought he was done after his latest knee surgery, but his stats indicate he still has something in the tank. I've always thought he could still help us if he has the desire to get in shape.
Man, that first time he whacked LeBronze and fell to the floor, I was pretty sure his leg would snap in two at the knee!!! It's a lingering effect from these last five years of Blazer fandom. Very relieved to see him get right back up and whack some more Heat later on. Love the guy.
To be honest, he looked very close to the old Pryzbilla. I was pleasantly surprised. I wonder how many minutes or games he can play at that level?
Seriously? Looked to me like he's put on quite a bit of weight. He moved around okay, but not a whole lot of quickness other than very active hands.
He is obviously not in great shape yet, but he contributed like the "OLD" Joel did. Active weak side help D, rebounding, altering and blocking shots. Looked great all things considering.
No question he played well. I was responding to the appearance side of things. I guess magnifier may have meant "looked" in the style of play sense, though.
He was so good it was shocking, until later when a blowout was obvious. He was stopping almost all their layups with toughness. If only Aldridge were as good a player as Przybilla. I'd exchange the points for the intimidation and rebounds any day.
We could get 3 Przybilla's and 2 Batum's for Aldridge, no problem. Opponents would never get closer to the basket than 20 feet. C Przybilla PF Przybilla SF Przybilla SG Batum PG Batum Man I just love typing "Przybilla" over and over. I am so glad he's back!
