Nashty and Cactus Game 12 vs Nuggets
Lets see what you got! Remember, anyone can start these and batsmasher and I may not be around sometimes to start them, so if they don't start within a couple of minutes, always feel free to do so.
My votes
+3 Knight - Great game...just 1 turnover...that came late as well...but 29 points
+2 Booker - Played pretty well other than the 4 turnovers, and of course the D
+1 Barbosa - Nice game for him when he was in there
-3 Watson - Just not a fan of whatever he is doing right now
-2 Bledsoe - 6 turnovers?
-1 Tucker - missed the shots...that happens..but did lead our team in rebounding, so that's worth something..not sure what our centers were doing on the glass

Disappointed I couldn't watch it as BK's #1 supporter.
Will post the results of the last couple of games in a few hours.

Re: Nashty and Cactus Game 12 vs Nuggets
+3 Knight - Can't really hate on anything; sign of the apocalypse perhaps?
+2 Booker - I don't even care, I love his swagger. Signing the autograph on the way out? Beautiful.
+1 Barbosa - Was shot-hunting real hard, but hey, when it works it works.
-1 Bledsoe - Rough all around game. His turnovers are killer, and often unforced.
-2 PJ - PJ Tucker is the worst offensive basketball player I have ever seen.
-3 Watson - For me, Earl has until mid-December to turn this around, but his decision-making and rotations are terrible.
Some notes, positive and negative:
+ I love Dragan Bender, man. He does something beautiful every time on the court, in this case the perfect swing pass to BK. His awareness is off the charts.
+ Len wasn't terrible. Good for him. I don't know if he'll ever be much more than a good backup center, but at least he can still be that.
- Booker at small forward is a disaster; we all know he has his short-comings defensively, but putting him against players like Gallo is just not fair at all.
- The Barbosa/Knight combo is not my favorite. It worked tonight (points-wise at least), but both of those players have complete tunnel vision.
- I already said this, but it bears repeating: PJ Tucker is the worst offensive basketball player I have ever seen.

Agreed
Knight's bad shots went In and he took care of the ball.
Bledsoe killed momentum with that turnover to and one 3 point play.

Re: Nashty and Cactus Game 12 vs Nuggets
+3 Knight - feels weird to say this. (*coughtradehimquicknowcough*)
+2 Book - at least some fire there, he hates losing I guess...
+1 Len - was OK, which is a plus in my view for him.
-3 Watson - play Bender you ******! God knows this team needs his bbiq.
-2 Bled - too many TOs with bad shooting.
-1 TJ - 0/7 from the field, nothing to see, just a bad shooting night. Had to happen sooner or later.
+1 The Bender swing pass to BK was one of the best moments in this game. This kid can play. Actually, he should play!

Re: Nashty and Cactus Game 12 vs Nuggets
+3 Knight - Best game of the season by far for him. Unusual to seem him clearly be the best player on the court for us.
+2 Barbosa - Good game when not many had one. When his drive isn't out of control it's nice to see him making shots when no one else seemed to be able to buy a bucket.
+1 Booker - Not a great game honestly. He turned it on a bit in the second half but played pretty poorly out of the gate. I almost gave this to Len as I thought he played a pretty decent game as well and tried to finish strong on his few FG attempts.
A really poor game all around. Not much fun in this one. Reminded me of the opener a bit. Hopefully we can play a bit better in the next one. Hopefully they're working on their foul shots as we missed way too many of those (aside from our atrocious defense).

Re: Nashty and Cactus Game 12 vs Nuggets
-3 Warren: Played terrible. How is this not a unanimous -3?
-2 Tucker: Bad on both ends tonight.
-1 Chriss: Just a big nothing on the court.
Honorable Mention: Bledsoe.
+1 Booker: Carried us for a stretch; would have +2 if it weren't for the obnoxious jawing at the refs.
+2 Barbosa: Solid contribution off the bench.
+3 Knight: Far and away.

-3 Watson, for playing PJ Tucker so much
-2 Tucker, for shooting 7% from 3 on the year and somehow still playing
-1 McDonough, for not calling Earl on his cell phone and demanding he sit Tucker
+1 Booker
+2 Knight
+3 Me, for having to suffer through watching PJ Tucker play huge minutes and see a bench offense run through his post ups when he can't even dribble or shoot

Well according to the man running the competition and compiling stats, he said you've got to put real votes in, so if you want them to count, you might want to edit that.
We all deserve a +3 for those of us tuning in every night though, so I agree with that.

Re: Nashty and Cactus Game 12 vs Nuggets
+3 for Knight - You can play like this every night if you wanted to!
+2 for LB
+1 for Booker
-3 for Bledsoe - As the leader of the team he sure didn't step up when we needed him to. Saw him take several defensive plays off. I hate that kind of stuff

-1 for Watson

He still does it more frequently than he should.

Re: Nashty and Cactus Game 12 vs Nuggets
I'll be honest, the voting rules are still a bit hand wavey.
Ideally all ya votes are real.... but it can be worked around. I'll generally just use the informal votes as tiebreakers for the final 3-2-1.
I'm open to suggestions cos it's still a work in progress.
