Good win. Excellent win on the road. Have to be happy.

But how bad is MJ's suit. Urghh.

If Hendo ever learns how to drive the rack with intent and finish.................look the **** out - because most of the other dimensions of his game are pretty cherry ripe.

Great win! 2 consecutive wins on a back-to-back games.

Henderson is so key to this team right now. Being able to bring a versatile, athletic defender with a solid mid-range game off the bench is such a good thing. He just needs to learn how to make a layup (or dunk the ball, for chrissakes!)

Hendo needs to enroll in the the Ryan Hollins try-to-dunk-everything-even-when-you-probably-shouldnt school of finishing. There´s no way an athlete like that should be so bad at finishing at the rim.

He could very well be a Wallace with a jumpshot. He has the athleticism, just needs to bulk up and drive in.

I thinkt he way to get through no Thomas is going to have to be what we did tonight. Play as much as possible with Henderson on the floor. Wallace is going to have to sacrifice some at PF, but it's clear that is our best lineup now. Obviously you can't do it all the time, especially not against bigger teams. But whenever you can do it, you have to do it. Kwame also needs to be consistently getting 25+ minutes. Just a GREAT game by everyone involved.

IF Wallace and Jack can continue this pace, then LOOK OUT. That's a big IF, but they prooved they are capable last year. This team can beat anyone with those guys scoring and the way DJ is playing. This is fun basketball to watch!

Agreed. It sets us up pretty well for the next 4.

Like I said in my draft profile of him leading up to the draft: Poor man's Wade.

Completely agree with that. Better defender two i think.

Knicks better look out, were closing in!

silas has already matched LBs win total for the year... in about half as many games.

I guess they chose to forget to bring lip readers tonight.

Kwame fits in with our "tall ass guys who can guard the 2-5 spots" lineup really well. I think you're right. It's our defensive versatility that has always made us a good defensive team, and until Wallace gets his groove back (berserker mode) Hendo is a fine substitute.

That's because Larry had bad vision, and he got mad when our players ran so fast. What's the point of going small if you aren't gonna out-quick the enemy?

I posted something about Hendo's poor ability to finish on layups and drives yesterday, must've gone walkabouts. Anyway, Hendo has a solid mid range game, solid defensive player, needs to improve IQ and finish on his drives. He missed some point blank layups last night that really pissed me off. If he can round out that part of his game....LOOKOUT.

Thought Silas sat DJ for too long in the 2nd, took him out of rhythm when he came back in.

Oh yeah and MJ's suit was butt UGLY.

Jack is broken. Finished.

I know, I can speak german. it's "kaputt" though :wink:

For some reason that word just popped into my head the other day and i wanted to expose it. Consequently, Jack also popped into my head so naturally i put the 2 together.
