Good job Cry Havoc
I give CH Grades an A.
blair made a couple of really impressive passes.
I can't believe how much the mavs stunk, even without dirk and butler.
yeah, quite an off-night for Neal, and he took some bad shots too.
to give B- to a player who finished with +22 playing 22 fucking minutes is at least being pessimistic.

Haywood did end up playing 21 minutes to Ajinca's 12, so that tells me that it was just an experiment against the Spurs. Ajinca's more athletic than Haywood, and Carlisle was probably hoping he could contain Blair or Duncan with his speed. Haywood scored 6 points and 4 rebounds in 21 minutes... so he didn't exactly earn much more time on the floor.Quote:

I agree, I think with Dirk out the NBA now has a blueprint for how to shut down their production when he is back. The Mavs have big problems right now, and I think they might even lose the 3rd seed to the Thunder or Jazz.
Did you watch the game? Manu took a lot of ill-advised shots. He just wasn't as effective tonight. +/- for a single game is a really horrible metric to judge player production.Quote:

I wonder if there's a way to combine the RJ screen-alley oop play with Blair's bouncepass to the corner man who cuts baseline. that would be cool
life's a bitch, what you gonna do...Quote:

Great job, thanks for posting the grades! :tu
None I think. He sat down early in the fourth.Quote:

Is Cry Havoc a Timvp alias?
Very nice work!! :tu
Good stuff, Havoc. :tu
I'd give a little more love to Tim. He really came out and set the tone on D and on the boards. His energy was really good -- he had 'the bounce' -- and his teammates really seemed to feed off of him. He'd get my game ball.
Tony was really good, Manu was defended like he was really good and ran the team well when given the reins and Blair's boardwork, running of the floor and passing were all impressive throughout (his D, not so much).
Neal was just forcing it, not taking what the offense manufactured or playing with patience -- looked like Pop had instructed them to really push the pace against a shorthanded team lacking the firepower to keep up, but he wasn't doing it smartly; shooting without setting his feet or forcing a shot as if he had no choice.
Hill's D was really damn good one-on-one but he got let off the hook a good amount too. He continues to try and shoot the gap, seemingly knowing his limitations getting through screens (and I'm beginning to wonder if Pop has too), so Terry helped him out a good bit by missing shots he customarily makes -- though I'm beginning to wonder if Hill is somewhat in Terry's head, forcing him to do things a little quicker, crisper and making him think or play at a speed that throws him off just enough. The defensive pendulum really feels like it's swung back into the Spurs' favor in that matchup the last couple of years.
Great report card. Will you be posting these in the future? I like your writing style.
Until TimVP wants it back, I plan to do game grades whenever I have the opportunity.Quote:
