Around The League(Lock Por Favor)

Dwight is back. Looking very healthy.

I predict that he will get hurt again, and this time is going to be worse. Torn labrums don't get magically better just like that with a week's rest.

Ligginsanity 3/3 from beyond the arc. Liggins was pretty much everything we'd hope he'd be in Orlando tonight.

I am hopeful that DeQuan Jones will develop into the player many wanted Liggins to become.

..

I like Jones better so far. Defense doesn't win championships anyway...

Everyone looks healthy when playing against the Cavs. He did look active out there though when the offense wasn't ran through him. The turnovers are still alarming and will really matter when they play against a legit team.

The Atlanta Hawks have 20 points at the half. LOL!

Wow, a 5 point 2nd quarter, finished the game with 58.

[Optimus_Steel]

Makes me feel a lil better that ATL scored 58 points, including 20 in the first half lol.

They broke our record. We scored 59 against the bulls last year.

Bledsoe starting again is 6-10 17 pts 6 boards 4 assists 2 steals 3 TOs so far with the 3rd winding down.

59 points and the hawks would have only tied the record we set last season for fewest points scored by a bulls opponent instead of breaking it.

Jones plays SF(a position of need) and brings more athletisism/height and we had no use for Liggins anyway.
We need mainly scoring from the SG spot.

But how about Earlsanity.

Small sample size but if we only look at his games where he played 20 minutes or more his stast are pretty impressive actually.

5 games:

11.4PPG 10RPG 3.4APG 1.6BPG

He's no game changer but i would have prefered him over McRoberts.

Edit: those numbers maybe a bit inflated because the Lakers play at such a high pace

I wasnt very happy to have Earl included, he is FA, so he might be back soon

Looks like Dwight got less than a million allstar votes for the first time in his career when being voted to start. Would you guys attribute that dropoff to his injury/"slow" start or negative press from the dwightmare? Being in LA and on one of the most popular sports teams of all time, I figured he would easily break the 1 million mark.

[rcklsscognition]

Dwightmare. People hate him outside the Magic.

I'm listening to the Lakers game and the TNT guys just said, "if I was D'Antoni, I'd find a way to run more plays for Earl Clark.". smh

[Noonskadoodle]

Reggie said "You have to put more pressure on a GREAT shooter like Earl Clark"......He should have been FIRED on the spot.

[Noonskadoodle]

& not to mention that none of these guys know the rules of the league. Reggie & Steve saying they can't believe there wasn't an 8 second call because Wade wasn't completely across the half court line at 16?

Not the rule guys.....haha must be nice to just sit there & talk without knowing anything haha
