Ben Gordon getting Wadeish

Anyone notice Ben Gordon has been adding those Dwyane Wade bank shots to his game recently? He’s improving a lot on those. He tried it a bit last year, but it was a lot less effective.

Westbrook will be a very good player.

I think competition only helps focus and exalt players, so I dont see why one should root against westbrook, generally speaking. in fact, one should respect westbrook because even when he is very sloppy, he almost always plays aggressively. Rose could maybe learn some of that frm him.

but i want his accolades to reflect his production and not draft position/reputation/status in a big market. rose has tapered off a bit; regardless of his awards, i would just like to see him turn that around.

When we get everyone healthy...

Is there any reason the rotation shouldn’t be…

Rose/Ben/Deng/Gooden/Tyrus starting.

Hinrich/Thabo/Noah?

Any minutes given to Noce, Larry, Hunter, or Gray are completely wasted, IMO.

3 things in the 3rd quarter I wanna see

1.I want to see the ball touch 3 people’s hands before the shot goes off
2.Derrick take over and go straight to the hoop. unless Nick Collison is such an intimidating force
3. No Larry Hughes and Rose/Thomas screen and rolls

Is that true?He didn’t try a shot and has only one rebound…

How could TT play bad when the ball never gets near him? He’s been good on the defensive end.

Good to see Larry caught Pax's interview

Nice response. I’d love to see the rest of the team embargo him. If you go to pass and see it’s Hughes on the other end, pull it back. throw it to the Thunder if you like.
