Looking forward to the Phoenix-Utah game tonight. Still only game 2 of 82, but it will be interesting to see how the Jazz respond. They looked so bad last night I want to see how they react at their home opener. They usually play extremely well in this scenario. But they looked really out of sinc against a Denver team that also looked bad. It was really ugly.
I watched some of that game. Mind you it was in Chicago. After watching a while, I realized that if OKC is going to get those kinds of calls going their way for most of the season, they will have a big year. You can't breathe on Durant or Westbrook without getting called. But, as well, the other OKC players get calls too.
The Bulls were having a hell of a time scoring in crunch time last night. They do not have a lot of offensive options right now.
Honestly, without Boozer there - who can score for the Bulls? Taj Gibson? Deng? Nice players, but... They have a real problem scoring against good defense - and the Thunder have good D.
CP3 has the same 'meh' talent around him but still managed 16 ast. last night and 11 apg last year. What I loathe are shoot-first "PG's"
Baron Davis still doesn't give a shit. Kahn is insane. Rambis is a jack ass but what can you expect from a Laker thug turned asshat coach.
Clippers really need to get rid of Davis, and probably even Kaman. Just build around Griffin and Gordon. Those other two just steal touches. You could see Griffin just sagging his shoulders most of the 4th, as they threw up crap, or just ignored him on offense.
I agree about Barron. But I think Kaman just had a bad game last night. He played very well last year. Maybe Camby knows his weaknesses after playing with him.
I think it's more just that when he gets the ball, he's shooting the ball, on the block. It's almost like, his mind has been poisoned by the losing, and it's better to get rid of him now than risk further damage. You grow up around the mentality, it takes a lot to break it. The feeling like if you don't shoot when you get the ball, you won't see it again.
Their offense is horrible, mostly standing around jacking up 3's (this even before they were getting blownout). For as much as people bitch about Nate ball around here, after watching the first couple days of hoops, there's a lot of stale offenses throughout the league.
Blatche sucks. Here is my evidence: http://sportstwo.com/threads/154990-OT-Andray-Blatche-2011-All-Star
