okay.
28 and 9 with 8:00 left.
I'll never stop asking how he magically in a couple weeks time went from fouling out in under 10 minutes to lasting a game.
Same here. What the heck happened?
Drew Gooden just threw Lopez to the ground out of frustration.![]()
Gooden got that behavior from the classless Mavericks.
Needs to get a softer touch around the basket. His hook is straight-line and thrown almost in stead of flicked softly with an arc. If he improves his hook, he can be a consistent 16-18/8-10 type of C.
Dragic 1 assist from his career-high again! As a backup this time.
Damn, 30pts 12 rebs for Lopez, 10 assists for Dragic, and most of the starters got to sit the 4th without a gigantic lead. Way to go bench!
Dragic tied his career high from the OKC game with his 10 assists--this time in a backup role. Wow.
God damn, Kerr is looking like a genius with those draft picks.
Think Earl Clark will look this good next season? Hehe.
I'm not sure if it took time or if they were just handled very poorly the first year. I'm still in shock how Lopez turned from a lumbering foul magnet to a decent center over night.
Timing. As his minutes have increased/become consistent, his fouls per 10 minute average has decreased. He went from averaging 2.9 fouls per 10 minutes in November to 2 per 10 in December to 1.3 per 10 in January to 1.1 per 10 thus far in February. When you're a big man, timing is just about everything.
I loved the Earl Clark pick. Poor-mans Granger. Not joking. Not as assertive, which is the main difference, but there's no reason he can't develop into a 15-point, 7-rebound comboforward with good range and nice touch inside.
We'll have to see...
excellent, just used my waivers on him.
I wonder when's the last time an NBA and/or Suns team had two players in double figures in assists in the same game?? And the Clippers almost did it, too! (Davis 8, Blake 9)
I suppose Kidd and KJ may have done it.
I believe Barbosa and Nash did it a few years ago, but I can't remember what game it was.
My two concerns from this win is Nash shot horribly again and Amare's D was ty. Other than that Dragic and Lopez continue to impress and show that they could be the long term future at C and PG, they seem to be involving J-Rich consistently, and Dudley is playing well.
Clark should start getting some of Frye and Amundson's minutes. Lou has gotten away from being the gritty defensive player he was last year, he's making stupid mistakes and is not staying within himself on offense. Dragic looked horrible in the 1st half because his two big men were Frye and Amundson, no semi-decent pick and roll options at all. Clark needs to start getting incorporated, and when he's in, he needs to do more than camp and shoot 20 footers.
Amare looked like he wasn't really interested in this game at all.
I've been disappointed to see Amare end his strong rebounding efforts the last two games.
Plus the entire team defense was poor this game.
Yeah, I think I may recall that happening, too, now that you mentioned it.
EDIT: Maybe we're thinking of this game where LB had his career-high 12 assists, but Nash only had 9: http://www.basketball-reference.com/...611110PHO.html
