Singleton career high and 9 rebounds.
Mo Evans 6-7 15 pts plus 18 in 17 minutes

Kind of feels like we should have a player of the game thread

Tanktastic. Love it.

Booker is a man and has a developing jumper. Just the fact that it's left will give him an advantage even with that protracted release. Singleton had his best offensive game.

Defense could have been worse, but it's hard to work through moving screens all day when they're not called.

McGee and Vesely did not play in the second half. Deservedly so. Start Seraphin and Crawford next game.

I think the ball was still in the cylinder when Irson tipped it in, but you're not gonna hear me complain!

In other games, Brook Lopez is ripping Brendan (but Haywood is having a huge game for him) a new one. 34 for Lopez, mid-fourth.

Chris worked the boards well. He shot just 4 of 14 but was very aggressive. In some ways, I think he's a bit of a tweener kinda like all of our forwards. Of course if Lewis is there, he's only getting about 25 minutes tops.

That may be a stretch but clearly start Crawford.

And get Mo more minutes. They team needs his smart mature play.

And actually, I dont even have a problem bring Mason if being Crawford more until Nick gets his head out of his ass. I was about about dumping Mason but magically he seems to have found something that looks like a shot.

watching that last play where he got the pass from jennings and passed it back and rolled to the basket to get positioning for that offensive put back showed me something...i'd be happy signing him this summer along with batum.

Perfect tank loss, though ya hate to lose by not blocking out on the last play (Singleton) and letting Dunleavy beat his season high by 8 points. But great efforts by Booker and Wall in the second half.

It'll be interesting to hear what Wittman says about Javale. Will he say they just decided on small ball - because Milwaukee had no bigs in there - or will he say the moronic foul at the end of the half was why he benched him?

the good thing about Mo and Mason is that ball doesn't stick if they don't have an open shot. The ball moves and good things happen.

2nd Rnd, 6th

Always gems in the later picks.

Missed the second half. Sounds like the vets got us back in the game. McGee and young were trash in the first half as usual. Those two just don't get it.

On Ersan, absolutely love the way he plays, but IMO he's a more experienced Vesely with a jump shot. I still like Jans upside

The best news from this game is Booker's jumper. If he can shoot like that, he's a starting PF in this league. He's Udonis Haslem only with better ability to finish in traffic.

Nick Young's recent shooting slump is killing his Trade Deadline trade value.

Over the past 6 games, Crawford is averaging 25 points per game with an eFG% of .610.

Hmmm - is it fool's gold? Make a deal for Crawford now while he's hot? If ti would move Blatche out, I'd do it...

Booker needs more touches for sure.

I don't know what to make of Crawford. It looks like it is just his standard chucks they are just going in. if he can start making 3s at a good percentage that definitely makes him a lot more valuable.

I am not convinced that this isn't just a short term hot streak. He does have talent though.

GhostsOfGil · Post #179 » by **GhostsOfGil** » Wed Feb 29, 2012 3:50 am

Honestly, I get nervous when Crawford's shot starts fallin... It just means theres a string of games coming up where he'll shoot 20%.

7-Day Dray · Post #180 » by **7-Day Dray** » Wed Feb 29, 2012 3:52 am

I still think Crawford is fool's gold. You guys are going to go back complaining about his chucking once his jumper stops falling a few games from now. He doesn't play a winning brand of basketball.
