Kwame doesn't look as ripped anymore. He's god awful on the court still. I can't think of a more offensively challenged front court than Kwame-Big Ben. Last night Wallace had his shot blocked by the bottom of the backboard LOL. Kobe started 1-6 in the game and then went unconscious from the field. He hit a crazy circus shot flipping the ball over his shoulder while his back was to the basket. That play Jordanesque. I thought the 3 guard lineup we used last night to match Detroit was effective. Our bench played with a purpose last night and Shannon Brown was getting his hands on loose balls and deflecting passes. He's been playing with consistent energy every game and maximizing his time on the court. He did struggle with his 3 point shot last night, but more than made up for it with his hustle plays.
What I took from the game. Shannon is awesome, even if he gets blocked like hell. At least he's trying. Everything DJ does seems rushed, thus, making it look ugly and not productive. Josh's stroke looks amazing this season, reliable shooter. Sasha....keep him on the team so I can hear and see more about Maria Sharapova. Nuff said. Dumbo.....errr...Jordan...needs to shape up or gtfo. Fisher is getting old, his time needs to be more limited and given to Shannon. Kobe is amazing again. Lamar is just not consistent (penny for everytime we hear that) and looks lacksadasical and as if he doesn't care. Ron, defensively, is awesome for us this season, his offense though is not quite there. Then again we aren't looking for him. Andrew looks great again, problem is....his defensive production and intensity doesn't match his offensive production and intensity....kids these days. Pau...get healthy, but good job on CSI. Luke....injured again? Adam? Where are you? (Seriously though, with the lineups we put him in, he can't really be a spot up shooter in a lineup that has no creator to give him his open shots. Otherwise his shot looks nice) Anyone I'm missing?
Drew's defense is fine. That is some serious BS. Is he a great defender? No. He's a good and adequate one. It isn't his responsibility to cover his man when he's got to rotate over to try and stop the pick and roll because our guards can't stop that shit.
