The move after 1.08..

If Kobe did this, was a good move but normal (for Kobe)
The same for another guard or a PF

But this is a 7 foot guy!!
And was guarded from one of the best defender (maybe the best)
Tell me another 7 feet that can do the same

Damn, i am

if he can make that kind of shots consistently.

**** trade everyone except him

My favourite move from last night was where Bargs had the ball 15 feet from the basket off to the side, was closely covered, there was nothing to be had so he just did the Kobe-esque body contortion jump shot and drew the foul. Talk about making something out of nothing. Guy can play.

I hope he learned all he could from JO about being a tough, mean defender, because we're going to need that too.

The guy is a really good student and he learn fast
He play with Rasho and he learn about boxout and tap out the rebounds
Now he's playng with JO
Best season in rebounds and blocks, improved D and he took a lot of charges
What are the JO's specialties?
D, blocks, rebounds and charges..

Damn, i was thinking about a trade JO-Shaq
If he learn a lot of movements from Shaq....
And i can't imagine what he can become playing with TD...

[bretthopper]

Check out his defense at 3:30 on Tony Parker...not many big men can do that.

[timdunkit]

Bargnani + closer to the net = IL MAGOOOOO ....

Andrea show me something better this year
I remember when he defend in single coverage against DJ Augustin forcing hin to pass the ball
Damn, DJ is very quick!!

Or when he was in singe coverage against VC or Durant..
He block Durant and take a charge from VC !

i was

He's learning a lot this year... if he makes a good run at the end of the year...
He might get the MIP player award.

Naa Devin Harris has MIP locked in ... maybe next year if he can become uber consistent and more efficient and avg 7-8 rebds a game ...

yep, Colangelo does a good job of bringing skilled, knowledgeable and talented players together a la Nash, Kidd, Marbury. Could you imagine practices..

JO was really good for everyone and people are naturally responsive to him as a leader whereas Chris was forced into the role. I noticed I wrote that in past tense without noticing..JO is a keeper tho..I hope he finishes his career with the raps and is the eventual successor to Colangelo.

I knew exactly which play the OP was going to show. Big men always go in the direction of their dribbling hand. AB has the ability to crossover to the other direction. Just with the first dribble, but that's huge when going up against other big men.

Yes..
But the dribble between his legs..
Damn, this was
Bye bye TD, see you lateeeerrrrr...

[execoftheyear]

he crossed Duncan in one of the other games...except he went left IIRC.

He definitely needs to learn to finish, but the stuff I see tells me he will learn. He's alwways very surprised at how close he is to the rim after a drive. That's really the main thing he needs to practice over the summer. Developing a softer touch when he's out of control around the rim.

[TCHOKE]

i didnt see the game and just watched the highlights
i had to rewind it 3 times, couldnt belive andrea did that move

[djsunyc]

and he's only 23 folks...

[tmoney34]

Came up big in the 4th with 9 points.
Would like to see him get the ball more in crunch time from here on out.

I think one of my favourite baskets by Bargs last night, even though it wasn't flashy, was his last basket of the night where he rebounded the Parker miss (got inside position on Duncan) and layed it in.

Really nice to see him get on the boards these past few games.

[J-Roc]

Important to remember, too, him and JO have been busting it hard the last couple of games. Jake Voskuhl is absolutely pathetic and then even Joey, our other 4 man, had to leave the game.

I saw it live last night from row 10....
I just couldn't believe it when I saw it.

I like how he tries to draw fouls too now... he doing it more and more often
