Man, Speedy really doesn't look like he can hold up as a starter. And Fischer really has been disappointing. (Not bad... just a total non factor.)
Dunleavy plays like he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feeling.
Murphy thinks he's a small forward.
Cliff's being wasted at the 5 and Adonal and Davis are MIA.
And the Euro Rookie is three years away from making an impression.
Man, the apathy worm is digging tunnels high and wide.
Yea seriously. This is another hole we've got to dig out of. At this time teams are either a buyer or seller and being last in the division means we're sellers. I was hoping Dunleavy could have done more this season but he hasn't met the expectations. Maybe dangle him for someone promising. How about Stromile Swift. He's a center and he's going to be a unrestricted free agent this summer. That and he wants to start at center too!
I know he can block some shots, but isn't he even shorter than Adonal?
I'm not saying no. I just don't know right now.
Hey, how unhappy is Jalen Rose?
Swift is only 6-9 but he's tough and he can jump higher than Foyle can. The guy just doesn't get enough minutes since Memphis is too deep so my indication is that he will bolt from them since he would be a starter for just about any other team. He's averaging 10 pts and 5 boards and a little under 2 blocks for just 21 minutes of work. I feel he can be a 20 and 10 guy if given starter minutes.
Jalen Rose, hmm, I can see how he could give some immediate help but long term he's pretty moody. I'm sure he'd love to leave the Raptors though, not sure if joining the Warriors will do any good for him but I'd take a chance if he comes cheap :D
tip off for warriors/lakers in less than an hour. I hope the warriors kick their A**, don't think it will happen though. Lakers seem to be winning, guess better teamwork. :bleh:
perhap if J. Richardson has a huge game again, just maybe. :fingerscrossed:
was watching part of the heat-pacers game. wondering why Jermaine isn't guarding Shaq? jermaine is smaller, but isn't he also a center or pf?
Nash is back, hopefully he can get the suns rolling after their 5 game skid. But they play the spurs, they are the top team now. :bow:

Cause he will get himself killed doing so. Mind as well send Foster, who btw was a Warriors draft pick, to do the dirty work. That and also the Pacers probably want to conserve Jermaine's energy for the offensive end since guarding Shaq takes a lot out of a guy.
Manu Ginobili goes nuts, scoring 48 points, as the Spurs handed the Suns a sixth straight loss in OT, 128-123, despite Steve Nash's return to the lineup.... Now the Spurs have the best record in the NBA...
Lakers beat the Warriors again, 105-101, at the Staples Center... Chucky Atkins, 26 points, Lamar Odom, 25. :)

Kobe who?? :hehe:
damn nearly made a nice come back tonight. The W's play 3 quarters of basketball fine but too bad the official rule for the game is 4 quarters :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:
Here's a quote from Kobe in today's (1/22) L.A. Times:
"When I'm in there, they defer to me so much to the point where they don't feel comfortable going because they feel like, you know what, he should have the ball," Bryant said. "Now it's just a chance for them to find out about themselves — 'I can score, I can make big plays and big shots' — so then when I get back they'll have that confidence that they can make those big shots so it's not like it'll have to come to me every time."
Duuuuhhhh...!
Uh, Kobe, they're not deferring to you: you're not passing the ball to them...
Oh, and to have confidence to make those "big shots" thay have to have the ball.... :hehe:
hornets beat the clips 88-85 and the Cav's beat the warriors 105-87 :shamefulcry: :shakehead:
both teams on losing streaks. didn't think the warriors had much of a chance to beat the cav's since they lack firepower in quite a few areas, even with j.rich back in the line up, but the clippers had a chance... :grumble:

You forgot to mention another triple-double for LeBron. :D
well, the clippers beat the mavericks, 97-87 :woot:
Elton Brand had 23pts and Simmons had 21 and Nowitsky had 22, stackhouse with 18pts for Dallas. Looks like they finally snapped their losing streak. M. Jaric coming off the bench provided a spark with his three point shots in the second that helped the clips on a 10-0 run. I think he will definitely give the clippers much needed help at the point/shooting guard position.
other games, Sixers beat the Heat 106-98 and the Blazers beat the Spurs 107-99. Looks like two top teams fall tonight to weaker teams. :shakehead:
