Wow! I really can't get over the fact that Jamaal Magloire simply stuck it to all the critics who questioned his presence on the team. He put up fantastic numbers, leading the East in scoring in his first ASG, and was the East's premier inside presence. Baron Davis was solid too, but had limited minutes on a team choked with guards. player stats: Jamaal - In 21 minutes, he had 19 points on 9-16 shooting, 8 rebounds, and one block and steal apiece. Baron - In 16 minutes, he had 7 points, 7 assists, and 1 steal. Baron's numbers, though modest, are much better than those from his first All Star appearance in '02.
I admit, I though Magloire shouldn't have been in the ASG but I changed my mind now. He was fantastic. He definetly proved the critics wrong.
Magloire really deserved his spot, he's one of the reasons your team ever was a contender for the Eastern Conference Title. With that said, PJ needs to become better on offense, his defense is prime. I wish B Dizzle didn't take so many three's though, Monster Mash can always share the load. Oh well, it still helps lead you guys to victory. Congratulations and keep up the good work, if you don't do well this season, or the next half, you'll do for sure next year.
I have the Hornets in the finals so they better do good. And your right, Davis needs to quit taking so many dang threes!

He has one of the better fg %'s on the team because of his money mid range jumper, but he only needs to take that when he's open, since the Hornets have Mashburn, Davis, Wesley, Armstrong, Magloire, and Steve Smith to shoot the ball. PJ is at best the 4th or 5th option each time he's out on the floor, and that's fine with both him and Tim Floyd. It would be nice to see PJ get some buck for his bang, but the Hornets don't need it.
magloire has played pretty well this year. his consistancy has been great. another solid night last night.
