Thats because Flynn came in around the same time

TBH I wasn't a huge Flynn guy coming out of Syracuse. He reminded me of Nate Robinson - if Nate wasn't such a tool bag and actually had his head screwed on right.

Has he been a bit of a let down for you so far? (banged up hip aside)

Pekovic and Najera must be the most awkward human beings on the planet. They look like they were born without joints.

Pekovic looks like Brezec if Brezec went on the Sean McMay diet and grew a beard.

Bingo! The lovechild. McPrimoz

Showcasing. Also, he was doing pretty well.

im not buying that showcasing theory. i think silas went with diop because he was familiar with him.

and "doing pretty well" is relative. diop playing well is still hot garbage.

They basically called the team "terrible" or something. Wasn't a reference to the lineup.

And now he makes one. Now insult his defense!

diaw might get 30 shots up tonight. but hey, gotta keep shooting. he is getting pretty good looks and it will only make his passing more effective.

I really wish we ran a P&R every now and then. With DJ, Livingston and Boris we could run it from three positions.

We could run it between the 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4 or the 2 and 1, 2 and 3, 2 and 4 or the 4 and 1, 4 and 2, 4 and 3.

That is a lot of different combo's that opposing teams would have hard time guarding.

Diaw can hit them. But he makes that step in midrange j a lot too.

we are going to need dj in the 2nd half. they will make a big run soon. this lead isnt going to hold unless dj and some others start scoring.

Love that jump step hook from Boris.

Post #136 » by **fatlever** » Thu Jan 6, 2011 2:03 am

if derrick brown wasnt allowed to dunk, would he ever score?

MPM · Post #137 » by **MPM** » Thu Jan 6, 2011 2:03 am

Diaw is so pretty in the post.

A really bad sign that DJ doesn't show up for a game like this.

Post #138 » by **BigSlam** » Thu Jan 6, 2011 2:03 am

Damn it. Boris with a cheap 3rd covering for UPS's defensive lapse.

He looked good in the 1st attacking, just failed to convert.
