POB, Wright, and Kosta are young and raw enough that I assume that they don't play much because they don't have much to give yet. And their play on the court has more often than not seemed to support that notion.

Monta and Beidrins were in the same boat, and they look like they're turning out all right.

We obviously need to address our weaknesses at C. Its time we actually looked in the draft for size.... that way we dont have to be forced to go to smallball all game

Al at center is putrid unless we're playing a team with a SLOW big man . . . by slow, I mean slower than Kosta.

Can someone find our record in these day games? No matter what team we play we always suck.

Um, he put up 27 on 17 shots last game.

He's been up and down more than anyone would like, but Al has certainl been better than "one good game a little while back."

Hater

That's the good game I was talking about... otherwise - I'm not going back to check all his game stats for the last two weeks - but Al hasn't made a big impression on me.

Jack is back, game over!

No, they weren't...

POB and Wright have enough natural, physical gifts to not need to be polished now. They will make their mistakes and thats how you get extremely talented players. Especially Wright, who has to be the most polished "raw" guy I've ever seen...

Give him the same role he had at UNC. Play defense, rebound, and take gimme shots. Is that hard? Or would we rather have our invisible D-leaguers eating 20 mpg each? Maybe 10-15 minutes of Pietrus? He's a finished product :banghead:

Not the same boat, not even the same ocean.

Monta and Beans were being kept on the bench by a guy who will probably never get another NBA job again.

POB, Kosta and Wright are being held off the floor by a pretty decent NBA coach who was willing to play Big Vic and Tyronne Hil 12+ mpg as rookies, so they are doing something wrong . . . I guess.

Like Glen Davis?

I forget which game it was but Al was a ball of energy... so huge. May have been the IND game...

That board by Monta was total stat whoring!

:hate:

crzy · Post #194 » by **crzy** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 11:18 pm

what a sick board by Monta

Post #195 » by **floppymoose** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 11:18 pm

Baron with 5 fouls. If this goes to OT we lose.

Post #196 » by **FNQ** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 11:19 pm

... Why the :censored:

is CJ Watson getting this crunch time love???

And F Toine... held Baron on the board and then didnt even offer to help CJ up...

BooRadley · Post #197 » by **BooRadley** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 11:20 pm

Antoine Walker with the offensive rebound and put back. Game over if that happens.

Stinker in Chicago, stinker tonight. Otherwise he's been in double digits in wins. He's been doing what a 4th option should. What are your expectations from him? As we learned earlier in the thread, one's expectations can certainly color thier perceptions down the road.

I knew that Walker rebound couldn't have been clean!
