Casspi up to #4 rookie

It's just that even Przy isn't all that "tough" you can see it in Joel's face when he's jawing with somebody (his eyes get really wide and his body language gets really defensive instead of aggressive ... it's hard to describe, but I know what a "likes to fight" guy's body language looks like; a lot of it has to do with the direction your torso leans when you are threatened. For instance when Joel and Chandler got into it last year, Przy leaned backward and Tyson leaned forward -- Joel didn't really want to fight, even though he put his hands up and Tyson definitely did)

Regardless, the saddest thing is that the toughest guys on our team are either under 6'6" or they are super old. The whole frontcourt (aside from maybe Juwan or Pendergraph) are really not enforcer types.

i would like a chuck hayes type

I think Joel is just smart enough to "appear" to not want to fight, so he doesn't get the bigger fine. He boxes in the summer so I think he likes fighting just fine.

BTW, I don't think you want a piece of ANY of the Przybilla family:

I know it's a small point, and almost worthless to talk about, but it's moves like this that KP made in 2006 (as an Asst.) and 2007 that made him look like a genius.

He was the same then as now. He is incapable of being a GM unless 2 things happen:

1) It's draft day.

2) He gives away a bunch of Paul Allen's money to get the other GM to accept.

That's what I was thinking. I chuckled when somebody mentioned Bayless. I've never heard of a 6'3" "Enforcer". Pendergraph may have the stones to fill that roll though.

That has been a criticism about this team the last few years - that we really don't like to play physical, and that we can be pushed around/bullied. I don't like that.

It's Pritchard's reaction to Whitsitt's teams of heavy tough guys. Now we have a roster full of skinny skeletons who rattle when they touch

Whittsitt brought in some truly borderline retarded or downright criminal players (Rider, Ruben, etc.) and that's one extreme I don't really want to revisit, but this team is desperate for the second coming of Grant or Lucas.

I just want to see a balance between this:

and this.

Tonight Vs. Dallas:

22 pts
11 rebs
4 ast
4-5 from three

He's surprised me so far this season. He's solid.

Never underestimate somebody who served in the Israeli army.

Since he was a professional player for quite some time now, I suspect that his army service was very limited... He probably had a low impact HQ job he was allowed to miss a lot of to attend practices/games...
