wish we had kevin love— spear1- tomorrow should be a nice test or us coming off a loss to chicago followed by a couple days of rest at home. We cant win tomorrow unless our bigs dont come to play. Im expecting Spence to be completely worthless tomorrow night followed by the usual "physicality of the game excuse". Hope DC realizes that if he doesnt play Kwame 20 minutes, Pekovic is going to POUND US! Its going to be a really tough test for ET to deal with the length of the defensively sound ak47. Curious to see how ET steps up to the challenge. Thad gonna have his hands full with love, believe it or not, I have faith in Thad to compete and elevate his game so that he isnt outclassed by Love's production. Maliks speed will be needed for Barea, hope wayans steps up to the plate defensively. Lavoy can not afford to get in foul trouble so if will be a very tough night for him. We do not win this game without solid minutes from kwame in both halfs, and Lavoy has to have one of those games where he plays at an active and high level for 33 minutes. ET wont have an easy time rebounding against Kirelenko, so Dorrel will have to play some good minutes and Jrich/jrue need to help out on glass. Anyone know if Swaggy is playing tomorrow?— johnGiam
- Game time decisión for Nick I believe Johngiam. Tough loss to the Bulls. Back to Back with a travel is always hard. Give Bulls props for beating a weary sixer Team. I have no confidence in Hawes either, 7 feet and plays like he's 6 feet.Couple that with playing soft and you get my point. Bearsfriend, said the Nuggets need a deep shooting threat, I tell you what, Hawes and Wright for McGee sounds better all the time. Bottom line, we have to do something with our Bigs.— kerryt
- John. It's really sad when you have to hope that Kwame Brown can give 20 good mins. That Lavoy Allen is attentive and focused. That Hawes can show some Guts and get Physical. Collins has to give Moultrie a go. What we have is anybody's guess right now, that is not the answer. As to Turner. I wouldn't worry about AK-47.Turner is at the point now where he either makes or misses his shot, not because he is defensively locked down. Turner has that ability to get his shot. Anywhere on the court now.— kerryt
- Ak is injured and not playing tonight. Thanks on the swaggy p intel. I actually love what Kwame bring to the table against certain match ups. I would still be asking for 15min a game out of Kwame even if Bynum were playing. As for java le, after years of watching dalembert, I can no longer stomach centers with below average intelligence. I'd rather have mozogov the java le, then again I can see DC treating mozogov the way he treated vucevic...hopefully we are inquiring about Verajao. It's a long shot, but he would work with or without bynum...give me jrue, Thad, ET and Verajao, 25 games to gel, and I will gladly go to war against anyone. If okc gets Verajao and pairs him with ibaka, IT'S OVER!!!— johnGiam
