Aren't you the one who said Anthony Davis is gonna suck too? He's putting up like 17-8-3 in 27 minutes right now.

Pisstakes off 7 games make you look dumb. Give it a season before getting so smug.

Gallinari has been this player for the last few years, though. And someone called him a top-3 SF. Its ricockulous.

Anthony Davis has had two good games, two blah games, and missed two games. I wouldn't call him an out and out success quite yet. I think by the end of his rookie year he'll end up having missed a ton of games and being up and down.

Monta & Jennings 8-16 9 assists each and 0 tos for Monta (1 for Jennings) i addition to 22 points. Another win for the first place Bucks (6-2).

Jennings has been great. Bucks should consider shipping Monta off for someone who can play well off the ball.

It's about advanced stats, not winning.

Warriors fans you have to understand why you see as much hate on Monta coming from Bucks fans- A LOT of this is coming from Ausie fans who followed Bogut over to the Bucks- when the Bucks traded Bugut they were pissed. You also have some people that are just stuck on box score efficiency ratings- Monta has played hard and hustled. He is probably the best passing 2G (if you can call him a 2G) in the NBA. He is great on setting his teammates up for easy baskets- probably better at that then Jennings. When you have both guys on the floor it presents a lot of problems for opposing defenses because of their speed and ability to pass the ball, take it to the hoop, or hit the jump shot.

Some Bucks fans complained about what they got in return for an injured Bogut with his injury history. It's not like it was likely that he was going to return to form of three years ago- I think that will be right. Even when healthy Bogut was grimacing in pain up and down the court the past few years. It's too bad because he probably should have been an All-Star in 2008/09. The other thing is Udoh really got over-looked by Bucks fans in that trade- there was a nice article in our major newspaper about his big role on defense. I like his game a lot- combined with Sanders they are really cutting off the basket nicely. With Ellis probably departure at some point between now and next year- Udoh may be the bigger piece in this trade when it is all said and done.

You guys have a good team- lots of nice components and it looks like you hit a good one in Barnes. Even if Bogut doesn't ever do much, the Warriors are on their way into the elite 4 or 5 teams in the West.

Not saying Monta hasn't been good, I actually think he's been decent from the few games I watched. Jennings is just so good, Monta will probably hold him back in the long run.

Jennings ain't all that. Both pretty small and mentally (Please Use More Appropriate Word) in their own unique way.

Its as if, they were meant for each other.

Dang. Why does luck keeps happening to LAL?

First it was Gasol, then Nash, then DHoward. Now they escape from the Bynum injury with their last trade?

giberish · Post #272 » by **giberish** » Wed Nov 21, 2012 11:20 pm

Good thing Philly traded for Bynum rather than Howard. Howard might have signed elsewhere after the season. There was no risk in trading for Bynum.

Good early season reality check for me when I start penciling in the warriors for the playoffs: Charlotte playing +.500 ball.

The east is so bad, they will probably stay at this mark.

Bynum...what an ass ...acts like a punk...gets traded to a nice franchise with a nice history of winning and then is out for the season because of a bowling accident??? What a flake....I feel bad for the Philly fans.

And the Lakers...no kidding huh? Instead of taking the hit for having a big man with bad knees on their team, they are able to essentially replace him with...Dwight Howard? lol...

ILOVEIT · Post #276 » by **ILOVEIT** » Fri Nov 23, 2012 4:55 pm

Brandon Roy....degenerative knees? Really? Huh...who would have thought that....Just because he's already retired once because he has degenerative knees!?

ILOVEIT · Post #277 » by **ILOVEIT** » Fri Nov 23, 2012 4:56 pm

Anyone else miss on Derrick Williams too? I thought he was an absolute can't miss....

maybe he just forgot

I feel for him, but cant help but laugh.. serious denial about his knee. Thank God he was a 4 year senior, most likely got his degree

Glad we dodged that bullet. I know we were seriously looking at him.

Does Minny get to void his deal or no?
