Orlando should win this easily. Wolves still suck. Ryan will be wide open all day and Dwight should dominate, not sure he will tho.

Yeah, let's bring back Darko. Great hands, great footwork, winning attitude. I've always really respected Joe Dumars for that pick. Beasley has a really great team first mindset too, plus a really high BBall IQ.

Anyway, really excited to see the Love/RA matchup. Really underrated rivalry.

I can't wait to see if J-Rich continues to play well tonight. if he does play well tonight, it could mean he's officially back to his old self pre-Magic.

I'm certainly happy whenever J-Rich shoots well, but that's really all he's been doing. We know he's capable of getting hot on any given night and being an explosive 3pt shooter. He's turned into a streak shooter that doesn't really offer much of anything else on the court, which is why he still annoys me as a player.

It's really really sad that that's true. I still think there's better offers though.

I agree. we'd be fine if he was more consistent, that's all.

This should be a very fun, but potentially dangerous game.

I'm gonna disagree with you there. To me it seems like all he really does in transition is run to the 3pt line, which is fine, but nothing our other guys don't do. Or, worse, if we're unlucky enough for him to have the ball in his hands himself and attempting to run the fastbreak, we're more likely to turn it over than score. He fancies himself a ballhandler when he's really not.

As far as him posting up, he doesn't really make any kind of post move. He simply dribbles back into the smaller defender a step or two and then turns around and shoots over them. He's not horrible in those situations, but it's still not reliable on a consistent basis.

I'm not saying he's a bad player (I think he'd be very dangerous on a team like the Heat), but on our team where so many guys need help to score, I just like JJ out there a lot better. JJ, despite being an undersized white guy of middling (at best) explosiveness, turns the corner on a pick and roll and generates a quality shot more times on any given night than J-Rich has in the entire time he's been here.

The funny thing about J-Rich is he would be a LOT more effective if we were a team that pushed the ball every chance we got....J-Rich in transition is pretty decent....But we're using J-Rich like Ray Allen...which isn't bad but it's like....you have a V-12 but you never go above the speed limit....EVER

It's sad that every game I'm wishing somehow Duhon will fall out the rotation.
