The comment on Wright is uncalled for. It’s demeaning to the individual, an insult to women, entirely without merit or documentation. It promotes stereotypes about athletes, esp black players. Stick to what you think you know.

The three he hit was huge, and while Bargnani has been known to hit some big shots (I wouldn’t say he’s done ANYTHING consistently), it’s the other 40+ minutes of the game that Bargnani needs to work on.

Have to agree. I PVR’d some Bucks games and this kid is anything but selfish. He creates so much space for people it’s scary. In one game I watched he made Delfino look like a legit NBA starter. Delfino for fuck sakes!

So I think it’s safe to say players don’t mind playing with him. Also, when’s the last time someone outside of Milwuakee had a desire to tape a Bucks game?

[" ... Chalmers dropped 23 on Deron Williams, 17 on Derrick Rose, 21 on Mo Williams, 19 on Rajon Rondo, 18 on Jason Kidd, etc etc etc. ..."]

Uhh … what year are you referring to?

Chalmers has scored double digits in only 8 of 19 games (including T.O.),and his HIGHEST point total in a game – before T.O.’s 30 pt — was 17.

Try to get those facts straight before you argue a point. And maybe read a box-score.

Chalmers is a 10 ppg guy.
His 2nd best game (point wise) produced 17 points.

Oops real sorry, I was one game off, I just remembered he shot horribly in the Dallas game and I only remembered the first half where he had 4 points

A disagree button would not be bad.

I agree – Miami’s comeback coincided with Amir being on the floor.

I thought Triano made a mistake when he had three non scorers on the floor – Weems, Derozan, and Johnson – this broke our momentum and allowed Maimi toi build theirs. A example of a coach getting cockyt i n my opinion – hopefully he doesn’t do it again unless the game is in garbage time.

may be s stupid question – who is haynes?

May not have decided the game, but you cant deny that he has consistently stepped up in crunch time. That three, along with the three by Jack (set up by Bargs) were back breakers.

That’s already happened – Calderon got injured last year and we witnessed what happened…let’s not actually hope for it..ever.

By: Shayan

Great point. Calderon definitely had some miscues tonight, and Chalmers was shooting fire, but didn’t think Jose deserved to be “under the bus”.

The Dallas game, as you’ll note, was a 25 pt, 8 assist 2 turnover effort.

The 8 Turnovers came 2 nights later, in New Jersey.

You know, just to be accurate.

Little injury prone? Not more than anyone else. Look at his draft class
Lebron 78.6 games/season
Milicic lots of DNP-CD
Melo 74.2 games/season
Bosh 73.2 games/season
Wade 65.6 games/season
Kaman 64.2 games/season
Hinrich 73.3 games/season
Ford 65.4 games/season
Sweetney lots of DNP-CD
Haynes 70.2 games/season

Bosh is actually more durable than the average.
And there are a few max players there.

Actually he’s talking about the game right after the 55 point game against dallas where he had 8 turnovers, not yesterday’s game…. You know, just to be accurate

By: Seeten

Seeten — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:36:16 +0000

He followed it up with a 25 point, 8 assist, 2 turnover performance

The Calderon/Jack combo only works when the other team has a small shooting guard against Jack, but against guys like kobe and Ray Allen there is not way it will work, which is why we brought in wright.

By: @Liston

@Liston — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:51:36 +0000

Great point – I believe Bosh’s ability to draw fouls (I believe right now he’s #1 in the league!) is not fully appreciated. I’m a huge fan of pounding in inside early – why? Draw 2 fouls on their best big man and he’s sitting early. This creates nice opportunities for guys like Bargs, Beli, DD, Turk to drive more (your backup C/PF are likely to be quite weak – *likely* slow, poor help defender and not much of a shot blocker).

This is also why I’d like to see Bargs drive a bit more early in the game – or when his man is in foul trouble.

No, no, no, do not stop with the Banks and O’Bryant bashing. It’s funny and entertaining. One of the great things about fan driven blog sites – you can make those kind of comments because you are not paid journalists with editors. Have fun boys!
