Drew Gooden - 23, 15 and 6 yesterday vs Bulls, 19 and 5 after 3 quarters vs Lakers

[5in10]

Nothing like some empty stats whooooo!

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Agree - as much as RJ is a huge tool, maybe he is also being under-utilized.

Of course he is. The first year in silver, RJ could still create his own shot, the second year, he still took it to the hoop from time to time, & the third year he has been reduced to a long range shooter. Pop, the great coach that he still is, needs to acknowledge RJ's gift as a 3 point shooter, but don't turn him into a one trick pony, RJ is still spry, and maybe some confidence dunks would inspire RJ to play harder all around the court.

This is really thread worthy?

[Ice009]

Is there any news on when TJ will return?

No news on TJ, but I think I might want a beer after seeing your avatar. Haven't have a Duvel for a very long time.

[Spurs da champs]

He's overrated & very inconsistent.

I'll tell you what, Gooden's defense would be a uva lot better out there than Blair or Bonner. I'd take Gooden in a heartbeat, still have no idea why Pop got rid of him, he's exactly what the team needs right now, which is an athletic PF who can bang and board. Gooden has good range on his jumper, too.

gotto love the guy who has a weird goat looking haircut

[Wild Cobra Kai]

His numbers are pretty solid this year too. Yet another former Spur doing better elsewhere. I guess it makes sense. There are few opportunities to pad stats in Pop's system alongside the big three.

The guy is on his NINTH team in his TENTH season, and spent exactly 19 games here after being RELEASED by a team, and he's somehow "yet another former Spur doing better elsewhere"? WTF? He's been traded three times IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON. No one likes this asshole, because he Cadillacs it at about 70% effort as the default. He's also only getting minutes because Bogut is out, yet again.

Gooden sucks worse than Bonner on defense, which is why Skiles is only now playing him with Bogut out, and he bangs ONLY the offensive glass, which the Spurs by default abandon to get back on D. He had 8 games of less than 15 minutes played before Bogut's injury. He does have a nice jumper, but frankly, Bonner's is better and has more range.

Gooden still sucks

Don't let this game affect your mind

[Wild Cobra Kai]

WTF? Gooden is the RJ of PFs. No thanks.

I was actually thinking the Rashard Lewis, but your analogy works, too. Good numbers on bad teams, but doesn't really help in any meaningful way to win games.
