I will be resigning Felton and Kirilenko. Koufos will become a free agent.

Lowry reminds of Kobe in terms of attitude. The difference being that Kobe is a proven winner and so his teammates respect, and sometimes just put up with, his "in your face" bulldog mentality. If...

Jose was -4 on the night and Lowry was -5... Jose played against the starters almost the entire time he was out there and Lowry played against them only late.

In the second half, the Raps went up by 19 with Jose on the court... they started playing poorly and Jose got pulled for Lowry with 7:30 left in the 3rd and they were STILL UP BY 9. So, the momentum...

Although I haven't watched a lot of Rudy's games... I can't get out of my head how well Memphis played without him a couple years ago (ala Andrea Bargnani this year). Those guys scare me.

How about Philly? Could they use a stretch 4 beside Bynum?

Something like Thad Young and a pick for Bargnani?

He shot it with 4 seconds left on the shot clock. The play involved the Raps isolating Lowry and spreading the floor for a high screen on Lowry's defender. Bad shot, bad play call... It did look...

Great post Matt. Always impressed with your ability to use reason when so many rely on emotions to argue their point. I do have a couple counters, more for arguments sake than anything else:

This was my concern when Lowry was acquired and people were saying how much better off we are with Lowry over Nash... my rant from July 15th still stands:



This is also the reason why I would...

Thanks Euro!

"Mindset" is another great book that reminds us that our starting point should not determine our ending point. What "Puffer" didn't mention in his summary of "Outliers" is that circumstance and...

Thanks for the link... looks like a nice stat. How bad our are SF's in that graphic!?... ugh.

For interests sake, our top 2 line combinations at +15 and +12 (dis)respectfully are:
Calderon, DeRozan, Anderson, Bargs, Amir
Calderon, DeRozan, McGuire, Bargs, Amir

In fact Amir and Calderon...

I'm a huge JV fan... just ask anyone in the dynasty fantasy basketball pool. I think he is going to be great; however, lately I have started to think that when he is on the floor the Raps are worse...

And, as a coach, haven't you watched your team lose enough... how about take a shot at winning it with some different strategy and owning up for the loss if it backfires. Maybe it doesn't help "the...

Anyone else calling the Raps to foul Drummond in the last 2 minutes, when the Raps were up? He was 1/6 at the line and you know Detroit is going to hit a game winner.

Calderon is a great player and does his thing very well (tempo, control, etc.); however, he is one of the worst guys to have running your team in clutch time. This is not new either... just check...

Agreed. Although a very small sample size, I think McGuire has made a case to be starting. Yes, Alan Anderson has been much better offensively, but I like what Anderson brings off the bench. ...

You're right, it's just semantics. They are putting Demar on the weaker offensive wing. Last night it was Wallace because Demar has been torched by Joe Johnson in the past.

As for TRoss... Did...

I think you are right. Love the energy!

I think McGuire was in street clothes for this one though. Could have used him on the defensive end down the stretch... West anyone?

Can anyone recognize who the guy on the bench is that gets so jacked up when JV makes a big play? The last couple highlights of that highlight reel he gets right off the bench.

I agree with those two aspects. Been following Jonas for a while but didn't expect him to make the impact he did so fast... hope it continues (Gray, who played with Noah in his first year, said that...

Link to a great article.





Hope he stays positive. Sounds like a great kid!
