Blatche played so great

we should of kept the other thread opened. i think that thread has provided good mojo. As soon as I opened it, sasha pavlovic who has killed us will miss the first round due to injury

Not feeling Pech too much. I think DMAC has more upside and obviously N1.

Yeah, Pesh has a long way to go. Young is well on his way to proving me wrong and McGuire seems to be EJ's new "no offense, just hustle" favorite. At least he had upside and isn't big enough to play center.

How do you figure that? Because DMc played a bit in a couple of games that didn't matter? When you look at it that way -- you know, the sensible way -- your statement seems kind of silly, doesn't it? Wait and see how much time on the court DMc gets in the playoffs and then come back and opine about whether or not he's EJ's new favorite.

Do you have to try to miss the point and miss state peoples views or does it just come naturally?

I didn't see the game, just saw that Pech had a double double and a decent efficiency rating, was he really that bad?

No. He wasn't that bad. He played like a rookie who
has gotten very little playing time this season.

Pech was OK. In the 2nd half, he looked a bit tired but he looked solid in defensive rotations at times early on in the game. But he played 39 minutes in the last game. To put that in perspective, in the last 13 games before that one, Pecherov has played 34 minutes.

Pech simply needs to work on his conditioning which resulted in him missing some second chance opportunities in the later stages of the game.

I thought he was but maybe im just being pessimistic and overly harsh. dude looked like someone without much of a feel for the game. slow on the uptake (mcguire was frequently telling him where to go) but good natured (the perfect mascot). he's always hunching his back (thereby minimizing his height), jumping at the slightest fake and hesitant. he needs a lot more playing time somewhere (pick up games, the Y, summer league, d league wherever) before he'll be ready to contribute.
