needs more Becky cleavage.
prose was too florid, self-indulgent in places, gratuitous alliteration (perhaps comic attempt?), keep your day job, but I appreciate the effort
Really nice read. I enjoyed the analysis and the wit.Please keep it up.
It would be interesting to know who (if anyone) you credit for Parsons awful night?
Also, I might be in the minority (and Raven will tar and feather me) but I think Beli looks better on defense. He's always going to be limited, of course, but he seems at least more comfortable with the system and rotations. Hope his D can keep him on the floor, because as you say, we'll need his shooting with Patty gone.
Also agree, that Cojo seems to have disappeared. 2 years ago he was ahead of Patty in the rotation and I remember him being better than this. It's just the preseason plus 1 regular season game but he seems to have regressed. (However, Cojo will remain a favorite in my book for the fearless slam over Ibaka in the OKC series. )

Wants Becky Hammon cleavage but says I'm being self-indulgent.
Baynes would do wonders for the Lakers. They are extremely soft in the middle.
what bothers me about cojo is that he has moments where he is solid on spurts and even in some big games. but there are times where he can truly stink up the joint. he's just not consistent enough for my liking.
Don't get the 'beginning to understand' part of Bayne's comments.
I thought he played good defense and set screens on offense that got ballhandlers to the middle of the lane and caused the Mavs defense issues every time he was in the game. His rebounding numbers are going to be less than they could be because he always goes for the box out over the board. That helps the Patty's and Manu's of the world get numbers but not him.
What I have come to notice is that he sometimes likes to freelance especially dribbling out of the high post and Pop has zero patience for it. He gets pulled but he didn't do that this game. He allowed the game to come to him which he always doesn't.
When the bench came out in the fourth quarter they gave the starters a 9 point lead. I thought Baynes defense and work on the board were particularly important in attaining that. He did a better job protecting the rim than Duncan whose timing was off. He made more plays than just that block.
Seems like lazy fantasy basketball analysis for his entry.
No one is gonna help that team, even if Baynes would be their 3rd best player after Lin and Boozer.
He was good on D, he just needs to grab more boards. We already gone one ty rebounding big in Splitter. I'm not worried about his scoring because that's not what he's out there for.
lakers are awful. they looked like a d-league team last night.
I think that perhaps you misunderstood. I was agreeing with you - that Baynes is definitely better than Ayres - but having said that he is better than Ayres, that is about the most once can say about him ( thus the expression - having 'exhausted his charms' ). I was actually agreeing with you. That his primary charm is that he is better than Ayres.
nm.
I have a nine year old grandson who looks promising! jk,jk
I am beyond shocked that Richard Jefferson is still getting meaningful minutes on an NBA team.
"Meaningful"
In my book, 13 minutes of an undecided game for a Playoff contender in the West definitely qualifies. Remains to be seen how long he stays in the rotation.
You could clearly hear the boos though when he made the corner 3.
Yep. That's what happens when Kobe chases off talent and the FO trades picks for 40 year old point guards.
What is the line from Milton? "It is better to rule in than serve in Heaven"
Well, Kobe rules his now. And he can happily chase scoring records while his team sinks into oblivion.
Great job with the write up reviews. Gave me something to read on my lunch break at work.
Solid work on the grades Cry Havoc! You only have 81 games left to go, you got this!
Did Tim and Manu have to push him off the shoe sticky pad on the sideline again so our guys could get to it?
great review, and i agree with a lot of what you said.
Please keep 'em coming throughout the season, and hopefully we can have a bit more relevance in the forum.
I think it's a bit early to start critiquing defense, but i'd like to highlight that within the backcourt, manu was pretty good on that and cojo was ok too.
I expect a bit more pressure on the guards from danny green, but in general if the opponent is going to settle for long mid-range jumpers, that's a good thing.
Regarding belli, i'd be getting him to do sprints and work on his foot-speed throughout the season because he was just way too far away from his man most of the time. At least he's a got some length compared to past non-defensive SGs like neal.
Appreciate the write up CH.
I do think you were a little rough on CoJo. I would of gave him a C+ instead of a D+. I do agree that he had some brain farts on D last night...but overall it wasn't that bad. I mean can he play better?...for sure. But was it a D+ night for CoJo...no.
neways...great read. Keep em' coming....
That's a good thing...right?
