We still need a more athletic power forward in the future. Smith has exceeded my expectations and I don't think anybody thought he was a 3-point shooter or would develop that shot. But man, his defense at the 5 spot is pretty poor and not much better at the 4. Really don't care what metric stat you throw out there to support him. He's not great a playing the PNR. But if Kieff continues to get thrown out or gets in foul trouble, the options are Bogs, Porter, or Smith at the 4. Not great options when you have Blake Griffin on the floor.

I had been in the hospital for a few days. tuned in on part of what I THOUGHT was a sure loss last game. That win was like playing with house money. It TOTALLY MINIMIZES THIS (EXPECTED) LOSS. LAC had just lost to Utah IIRC.


You okay Ken? Praying for you.


Thanks!!!

God is GOOD ... ALL THE TIME.

I'm recovering nicely. Would be lying if I didn't own up to hella-anxiety attacks and some end times feelin' depression....

AFM, the great news is all the really nice support and others in the struggle. Can't be havin' no pity party.

**** that.

:D

Ben, what really ails me is way the hell back in December I bought this calendar to send you. And I ... errr ... uhhh ... never mailed it. :oops:

I love that Chocolate City shirt and I've gotten a lot of connect time with others as a result. You are a thoughtful, GREAT, friend. You're compassionate.

Finally got done watching the game. Wall was no joke. Paul is a good defender and they have a legit shotblocker in DJ yet Wall still dropped 41 on high efficiency on the 2nd night of a back to back. :o

KO's play lately is big. They will need him in the playoffs. At the end of the game they had him guarding Paul. Having a guy who can effectively guard multiple positions is a big help.

Over his last 5 games he is averaging 16/8 per 36 with a TS of 62%.
