Random Thought from game night 12-8-09

Blazers didn't play.

Rockets lost to Memphis tonight: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2008120829
Though several disagreed with me at the time, I think we should have drafted Brooks.
I still think so. He's shown he is a scorer who can handle the point. Tonight he had 14 points,
2 ast. We have Bayless now, and he is similar. Of course Bayless was much more expensive.

Sorry Sergio fans, but IMHO, Brooks > Sergio

Bobcats lose to Miami: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=Apa8vq.SezhNFDOaFxeG_.eQvLYF?gid=2008120814
Ammo got 13 pts on 8 shots and SIX rebounds! He's an NBA player, but I think the blazers
want players who can play both ends of the floor.

GState beat OK: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=Amu7ZIeh2UQ7wH32Bc8EO0S8vLYF?gid=2008120825
Morrow still playing well, but not nearly as hot as he started.

Clips playing Magic: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2008120812
Even against Howard, Zach can rebound.

 

I won't post it, because well, most don't seem to give a crap about Mike Conley, but those that do should check out his stats over the past couple of weeks. He's shooting over 50%, scoring better, and not turning over the ball. He's improving rapidly folks. His PER is improving every game.

Well I guess I did post it. Neener neener.

 

I'm pretty sure I remember KP saying somewhere that if Brooks was around for one of our late 2nd round picks we would have taken him. I wish we had him for the sake of my duck homerism.

 

The key tonight, for me, was Houston losing. It's always nice to see another western conference contender lose. I think Houston might be in for a bit of a rough patch with all their injuries. Hopefully we can capitalize tomorrow against the Magic.

Speaking of Orlando, I am rooting for them tonight so they don't come into the Garden tomorrow pissed off. Either way, it's good that they'll be playing the second of a back to back.

 

This post reminds me of a song. Carly Simon's song, I think it is called "You're So Vain"

It goes...... you're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you. NO SHIT SHERLOCK, the guy is right. The song is about him. Damn I hate that song. I just wanna punch her in her face every time I hear that song.

 

On the plus side, the Magic were in a real dog fight with the Clippers tonight and had to battle back from over ten down in the fourth quarter. Howard played 44 minutes.

Hopefully their flight gets delayed tonight too!

 

Houston got blown out.....by Memphis. I know they're injury depleted, but in all seriousness, they should be able to win. Hell, Rudy Gay didn't even start and only played 25 mins.

 

Don't get your panties in a bundle but Kyle Lowry just replaced Conley as their starting PG, so maybe his coach disagrees with you. Iavaroni prefers guards who play defense, as does Nate.

 

2 assists in 27 minutes?????

 

What happened to Rudy Gay, why is he not starting?
And wow... the only Houston player that could play but didn't, was Stevie Franchise. That guy has just fallen off the map completely, and won't even be used to change it up against a crappy Memphis team.

 

And score 21 of course, and get 3 steals and 4 assists.

Zach is an absolute beast, and there's still a "defensive black hole" at the PF spot on our team.

 

And just think............... he's OUR highest paid player!!!!!

 

Not only that... but our top three highest paid are Francis, Raef and Darius! That's our Big 3 right there. We don't need Brandon, LaMarcus and Greg.

If he's so improved why was Kyle Lowry promoted to starting point guard just yesterday?

 

I guess people don't have an excuse for Zach Randolph anymore because he 's playing with a helluva talented team right now with Baron Davis, Kamby, Kamen, and Al Thornton and they can't seem to get any wins. Well Kaman appears to be injured right now but still, very talented team who isn't winning shit.

 

He was benched because he won't play D

 

How about the odd few who actually wanted us to keep Francis and potentially start for us? We definitly have some odds individuals roaming the forums.

 

He was winning on New York with a worse roster this year

 

Zach Randolph, like Steve Nash needs to play in a system where defense is optional to succeed!
