Fair to say he still has his hops?

And I thought McInnis might have traveled on that 3 on 0. That would have been embarassing if they called it.

One of the reasons I thought a lob was coming, why else do you stutter slowdown like that?

Derek Anderson lives!

We could use a true PF with some size that is smart enough to block out, and quick enough to guard the quicker, longer PFs in the league. Our centers always go for the block, and it seems like no one else blocks out, so we allow offensive rebounds like that.

Reggie Evans likes to rebound...

That would make all of our dreams come true. We are terrible at boxing out and getting EO50 easy rebounds.

Crash, as much as I love him, is the worst at it.

I guess Okafor got the hint that contract negotiation time is coming up soon.

Dude takes forever to get his shot off. His release is super slow and low. I'm amazed he doesn't get blocked....................a lot!!

He's kind of goofy, which seems to keep guys like that from getting blocked all the time.

Sorted by DrebRate, noticed no one outside of Craig Smith/Ryan Gomes that I thought would actually be that available. Ought to be able to find a solution in the NBADL.

Rod Benson do anything for ya?

Corey Minnifield? Steven Smith? Kasib Powell? Carlos Powell? Ivan Johnson?

I don't get how drastically better Okafor's offense has looked lately. That drop step last night was sick! Should I send Paul Mokeski a card? Hakeem? Who gets the credit??

Post #32 » by **Walt Cronkite** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 12:57 am

6 point game, Philly has gone to a zone...and the strat is to let Wallace shoot a jumper with literally NO ONE ANYWHERE IN POSITION TO REBOUND

W_HAMILTON · Post #33 » by **W_HAMILTON** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 12:57 am

Looks like Okafor turned his ankle a bit, but it looked like it came just as he was running down the court, so I doubt it's that serious.

Post #34 » by **Walt Cronkite** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 1:00 am

his good ankle or his bad ankle?

I think it has more to do with the other Bobcat players trusting him more.

He's been getting really good, deep position a lot but the ball wasn't coming into him. If you get him the ball quick enough and he has enough time to execute, he does pretty well. It's when he's already been in the key for 2 secs before the guards get him the ball and he has 1 sec to rush up a shot that he looks bad.

These Philly announcers suck!

Post #37 » by **BigSlam** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 1:11 am

Crash's career high in assists is 9.

He has 6 at the half tonight!!

Kid is Mr Everything!!

D.A. lives and remembered how to shoot!

Gerald, J-Rich, and Mek all playing pretty well - especially liking Mek again, and that 360 dunk by J-Rich was just excellent.. haven't seen that in a little while.

DA with a nice stint there in the 2nd qtr, too.

Philly's scrapping as expected, especially with their ability to rebound (and relating to us there).

Can't come out lazy or anything in the 2nd half...

0-7 start to the 3rd is not what we needed.
