perfect tankilicious game
lots of good comments above
my own observations -
Marc Gasol is the real deal. He could end up being better than his bro.
He owned AB.
Gay is pretty good.
Haywood was ridiculously rusty offensively, ridiculously effective defensively.
Critt to me looks like a very solid potential replacement for what Larry Hughes
used to be as a compliment to Gil. He's got LH's size and slashing. He doesn't
appear to have LH's tendency to pick up charges leading a 3on1. I'm not saying
he's anywhere near what LH was in his contract year. But LH isn't that anymore
either. I'm saying for a guy on a rookie contract, he could be a decent compliment
to Gil, who as we all well know, makes his backcourt partners look much better.
And if he develops a decent jumper, watch out. He boards as well as any G we've
had since Darrell Walker. I think EG has the opportunity to take the best player
in the draft at our pick regardless of position. Right now a 3 guard rotation of
Gil, Nick and Critt looks to be adequate.
Nice fight in Caron and AJ making this an entertaining game. But the right ending.
Tankilicious.
Next year when the kids are back in reserve roles, things should be fine.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity
When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression
Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities
