Neal and Blair>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ayers and Belenelli

[Johnny RIngo]

Ayres is not an nba player,

Seems strange that the "best front office in the NBA" would hand out MLE money to someone that clearly belongs in the D-League.

Sadly Blair is better than Ayers. Ayerss has the physical tools and it seems his head is in the right place when its not game time. He just doesn't seem to have much basketball skill and instincet. Blair has basketball skills and he possess mad big man instinct. The problem is he's got the body of an NFL tight end with bad knees.

I'm going to call Marco for Neal a wash both are offense first players. Neal could be streaky and disappear as well, or just be so boneheaded as to get a front row seat next to the assistants. Marco was oddly enough a worse match up defensively than Neal against the mavs because they were playing lots of two point guard line up and all 3 of the. Mavs pg are fast enough to make belli look silly.

I think it was just a bad matchup for Belinelli. He usually was defending Carter, and Carter would overpower him. On the offensive end, the Mavs' game plan limited the amounts of open looks he got. I expect him to be better this next series.

playoffs are not over lets see what they do before we go there
