I wanted the full game recap :) But yeah, a small dose of fix did exist.

Proofread your own comments if you’re going to tell other people to.

It’s *called proofreading. :)

“I love to come off of the bench. I think that role suits me more and I think it’s also more beneficial for the team,” Jack said. “I think we have more than enough firepower in our first five. Jose, Hedo, Chris, and the way Andrea is playing, good gracious.”

Calm the fuck down everybody!

Along the lines of trading Calderon for a wing defender/creator:

That would mean the Raps could start DeRozan (future all-star) and Martin, giving them a huge backcourt, and putting the ball in Turkoglu’s hands.

The bench rotation would remain the same. This would give the Raps a matchup issue almost every night with the bad guys having to use a 6-foot guard to defend either DeRozan or Martin.

Sac can probably get a better deal elsewhere, and who knows if Colangelo wants to do something like this, but it’s always a possibility.

Because of his hamstring injury, Jose was relegated to taking jump shots.

Its been like 5 games. However Jose’s D has always been bad.

Speaking of Calderon and his sluggish start…Rose stats this season are as follows: 11.8 pts,4.8 ast,3.5rbs,40.4% fg, 0% 3pt,64.3% ft.
last season : 16.8 pts,6.3 ast,3.9rbs,47.5% fg,22.2% 3pt,78.8% ft.

So beleive it or not folks, there are other players in the league that have had slow starts but I wouldn’t want some of these Rap fans with tunnel vision to know that.

He didn’t play all summer (5 months) at the request of management because they wanted his hamstring to heal properly.

Last year against Derrick Rose and the Bulls, Jose went for 22 pts, 19 ast, 8-11 fg, 2-3 3pt, 4-4ft and 3 steals…against one of the top tier point guards in the league…you’re right, he is way to SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW to be starting.

I was at the game and I was impressed with Jose’s D pretty much all night long. I saw a hell of a lot more hustle and energy than in the past three games and all of preseason. He’s still got a ways to go, but it’s a step in the right direction.

You obviously have limited knowledge of Basketball if you think he’s just a jump shooter.

If you are not sleeping already (it is pass midnight in most of Europe at this time ) , you are wrong to say that there was no article on the Wednsday game at 3am ET on thursday . Arse RR ratings post appeared around 11 pm ET on Wednsday night.

I agree that there is a case for the discussion from the cleveland game – just pointing out that perspective and the lack of balance in the arguement in general. Atleast one of those late Bargnani blocks should have been a foul – not on Bargs but on the wing defender that bumped the shooter off-balance…

then don’t take me seriously….. I’m assuming you didn’t see the Cleveland game.

And if the refs won us any of those games on a call I would have said it….. unfortunately they didn’t

Check Lopez’ numbers: 16 PPG, 7.2 RPG.
Bargnani’s numbers: 22 PPG, 6.8 RPG.

If anything, the only two guys that would be getting that spot over Bargnani would be:

Horford: 12.4 PPG, 11.6 RPG, 2.6 BLK
D. Lee: 19.2 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 0.8 BLK

Lee is playing for D’Antoni, meaning his numbers are inflated. I haven’t watched any Knicks games this year, but since D’Antoni likes to play small-ball, I imagine Lee is often the biggest guy on the floor for the Knics (so he doesn’t have a guy like Bosh to compete for rebounds with).

I will say this: if Bargs is averaging over 7 RPG by the All-Star break, book his ticket. He is the most versatile and, once Blake Griffin is back to shoulder some of the scoring load away from Kaman, the highest scoring center in the league. His rebounding and block numbers just need to be solid for him to win the votes, IMO.
