Other than the shooting I LOVE how Korver plays. His team D is better than anyone on the team other than paul or AK. Although he isnt hitting his shots I still thinks hes playing great, and we are doing the best teamwise with him in there. Once he starting hitting his shots he will be huge for us.
Gotta love memo playing like memo again. Going into this season everyone kind of forgot how great AK could be, thats how everyone is now going to be thinking with memo.

I agree 100%
  
  I really dont see the sucks at D knock...he isnt any worse then Gira and plays great team D and is a amazing FT shooter, which comes to show us that the fundamentals arent a dead art.

Many people from philadelphia say that he isn't a good defender, and that he is very average at defending. I think he has done an excellent job so far, but finally his newbie sparkle is starting to dissipate.
Last three games, he has had a wowing 11-30, not mentioning the sharp shooting of 2-14 behind the 3-point line. And also that very clutch foul on Lewis or 3pt foul on Reddick are showing that he is finally is hitting the ground of his normal play. Geez, I swore I was seeing CJ making those mistakes again.
As a homer, I would have prefered seeing CJ keep having some time playing as he has a more varied reportoire unlike Korver. However without a doubt, Korver is more solid, consistent, and his experience will help the team in the long run. It is wise to have Korver have the full 24 minutes as he won't catch rythm otherwise.
Talk about Okur baby! I am liking where this is going. As I keep saying, the spacing the floor is important, but it is useless when Boozer doesn't finish. I am feeling that Okur might be back. Also good to see AK still sharp shooting after coming off from those back problems. Williams with another solid triple double is good. I am liking that he is doing this consistently, and that the team doesn't need him to score 40 points to get a chance to win the game. However in the middle of learning this, he is very likely to lose entrance to the All-Star again. Viva les snubs! Brewer needs to keep getting those shots he was getting out today. IF he gets used to them, then Brewer can really make himself an even better career on the NBA.
btw, although nice 3pt basket by Hart, someone needs to pimp slap him for even thinking about shooting. You have Korver to do it!

Watching this game i will make my two cents:
Memo was another time Memo. He scored from 3pt land and he shot 10-15. He was really great.
AK was fantastic. We missed him last games a lot. He defensed, he shot very well (his basket weren't dunks, I think he only did one) he passed the ball, he did everything.
I like Harpring. In only 10-14 min he is really valuable.
Boozer played a little poorly but he contributed.
Williams was solid, he did not shine, but he did all he must to do.

That foul on Reddick was BS! Korver goes up and Dwight Howard stepped right into where he was going to land. He had no where else to land, and when he did, he tried to pull himself back away from Reddick as much as possible. I was watching a replay of that, and there was minimal contact, and Reddick was already off balance on his shot.
I have been pleased with Korver's D as a whole. He had a nice strip in the final minutes that really helped. His team D has been great, and his shooting will come around. The nice thing is, even thoughhe is strgulling, other teams still respect his shooting and it helps open up the floor.
Its hard having so many capable 2's on this team. I like ronnie Brewer and I think its hard for him to lose so much playing time, same with CJ, but I guess as long as the team is winning, I guess we cant complain.

Harpring is a little hard to watch sometimes.  I think he lost the ball 3 times last night due to poor hands.
But, I always think the ball is going in when he shoots that 15 footer. I love that.
And yeah, Korver is struggling a little. I imagine all shooters go through ups and downs. Lets hope he doesn't let a slump affect him mentally.
