Anthony Johnson was unstoppable against us. You guys should've used him more.

Bogans just plain sucks. I agree with N4U that JJ hasn't proven anything yet, but I can tell you right now that JJ plays smarter than Bogans. Its just a matter of whether JJ can start consistently hitting shots.

true and true.
I hope this is a sign of things to come, let's just wait a few games before saying 'zomg redick iz the b3st!'

Re: ROCKETS @ MAGIC Nov. 22nd 7 p.m.
WTF? One game means we can trade Bogans because JJ finally plays a half-decent game?
If JJ keeps it up like this, fine trade Bogans. Let's wait a few games before even bothering to speculate. JJ didn't play that great, Bogans just played bad.
This is not the first time JJ has out played Bogans. It is not just one game. It is several. JJ has not played in almost 2 weeks and then out of nowhere gets a start and plays 27 minutes another game and did decent. So think about that.[/quote]
What's your point? In general its been clear that Bogans has outplayed JJ.
SVG's basketball knowledge > Yours.
If Bogans has been in the game more than JJ this year and in past years it's because he's been better. It could be a turning point now with JJ > Bogans, who knows, but it's very early to speculate about a freaking trade of Bogans.
BTW - I'd love it if JJ decides to play half as well as I expected him to out of Duke and to beat out Bogans. I'm not going to say he is based on a few games though. JJ is not playing better ball now than Bogans was earlier this year.
My new thought: at what point did I ever say I had more BB knowledge then SVG? that is just you being stupid and not reading what I typed. I am not the only person who has thought Bogans needed to be traded. I do not like him as a player. Very over hyped defense and not to smart on shot decisions. But I do not need to explain myself to you. Just keep in mind that JJ played decent (I did not say good I said decent) and I think Bogans should be shipped out so Lee and JJ can get steady minutes to become better. Please read what I type instead of being ignorant and just interpreting things I did not say.

when we're passing it around the perimeter and the rockets are scrambling to defend us i want to see more pump fakes and drives to the rim/open 3, instead we were taking contested 3's

On another note JJ Reddick shot 10 freethrows. If he wasn't so gun shy he would be a much better player.

Well, the fact that you want to trade one of SVG's clear favorite reserves demonstrates that you think you know better than he does .
But I do not need to explain myself to you. Just keep in mind that JJ played decent (I did not say good I said decent) and I think Bogans should be shipped out so Lee and JJ can get steady minutes to become better.

I wasn't saying that you specifically stated that you thought you were > svg, it's called a statement of my own refuting a statement of yours. Basically, that we should trade bogans, one of svg's favorite reserves, in favor of a player that has "outplayed" him in "more than one" (...umm two...) games.

Re: ROCKETS @ MAGIC Nov. 22nd 7 p.m.
Ming just owns Dwight, plain and simple. If we double we get burned from deep, and Dwight really struggles guarding Yao 1 on 1. When Houston needs to buckle down and play efficient defense and offense they can do it as good as anyone. Just wait till they get Battier back....
I was really hoping Pietrus and Bogans would play better as they have been some of our most efficient offensive players this young season.
JJ played well and does not seem to be a defensive liability anymore. We badly need him to step up and be a solid player off the bench.

BTW I think we should be happy how well the Magic are playing yes they lost, but they are still playing really well.
Right now Atlanta is losing to Cleveland 93-78 ouch.

JJ had 10 FT attempts.
Shard had 1.
I hope someone lets him know about that.

11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.
- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Pietrus and Bogans each had zero. Sounds like Redick is learning how to take it to the basket and get fouled like he did in college.

So if I said I wanted to trade Dwight for whatever reason (and for the record I do not want to trade dwight) because he is one of SVG's favorite starters does that also imply that I am stating I know more? no it is mearly a statement I am making.

BTW remember Duhon right now with 2 minutes left has 11 assists too bad we couldn't get him that would have helped the Magic.

It's not like Peaches has been terrible.
Besides, do you really want to be subjected to moley starting?
Oh wait, it'd probably mean more minutes for JJ to clank shots so you'd be happy.

Considering how well he has played in the last two games I wouldn't say too much.

Re: ROCKETS @ MAGIC Nov. 22nd 7 p.m.
You can't win them all. I don't like that we aren't beating the good teams, but we did an okay job of it last season so I am not that worried about it.
I felt the Rockets were making tough shots aside from that one stretch where they kept getting inside. But other than that, their inconsistent shooters were consistently making shots. Just the way things roll.
JJ must have slept with the wife of the guy who checks the rims.
Rashard had a Hedo like night from the field. He was getting harrassed.
And Dwight started scoring on Yao, but it was too late. His defense on Yao improved after the first quarter, but he still doesn't do it correctly. He guards Yao like Yao could actually drive past him. He gives him space and Yao just shoots. You have to play Yao close, because no way he is driving past Dwight. Foyle knew it and was right there everytime Yao shot the ball. Dwight gives Yao space like he has Chris Bosh driving ability or something.

TWO GAMES
TWO GAMES
TWO GAMES
Are people (Please Use More Appropriate Word)?
Duhon is having a good season, but two poor games from Pietrus does not invalidate the fact that he's averaging ~14ppg on 40+ percent from down town; our best SG in a real long time. If he got the minutes Chris gets he'd probably be up to 18 ppg.
It's insane that two games are causing people to believe that JJ is for real and/or that Bogans/Pietrus suck.
Pietrus/Bogans & Nelson/AJ > Bogans/JJ & Nelson/Duhon
(At least right now)

Re: ROCKETS @ MAGIC Nov. 22nd 7 p.m.
Just an observation.....
I thought it was a little dumb to make tonight "Asian Pride Night" at the Amway Arena. The place was packed with Chinese folks...at least the sections surrounding me were.....
They were going crazy every time Yao did something...literally a standing ovation if he farted.
I just don't like the idea of giving Yao a little extra motivation to perform well.
Not saying it did.....
But there's always a chance.
PS- Did anyone see the extremely plastered European guy making his rounds in the upper level......
Dude was ridiculous.....
