Of course. Everyone scores in the paint. But Bosh's go to move is the 15 foot jumper. And he's money.

He's also good with his back-to-the-basket post moves. Great finishing off the back board with his left from in close.

Absolutely. But his bread butter has always been his jumpers so don't suddenly be surprised when you see it this season. He did it last season too.

I'm not surprised, never said I was. But, that was all he has done. He isn't getting position down in the paint at all this year. Thats not good when he's the only player on the team that can.
 
Phoenix and Memphis in a double overtime game. Pretty exciting. Memphis should be good, but they aren't.
 
I've been watching the Memphis/Phoenix game. Memphis had it won in regulation, but Rudy Gay had a brain cramp. Channing Frye is horrible. He's the most overpaid player in the league.
 
Jerryd Bayless has a PER of -4.0! You'd think Monte would know when/how to use him in his system.

Tonight vs. the Warriors Andrea Bargnani, all 7'1" of him, managed to gather ONE rebound in 21 min. of play.

Steph Curry beasted the Raptors with 34 pts (shooting 57%) while his backcourt mate tallied 28 pts (shooting 59%). Ellis also left the game with an awkward back injury.
 
Curry and Ray Allen are probably the most pure shooters in the league. Such a feathery touch.

According to SportsCenter he said it tonight after they beat the Suns. :lol:

If you put up 20+ and pull down 20 boards you can be as bad at math as you like as far as I'm concerned. I hate saying it, because I was as happy as most to see him go, but Christ could this team use him right now.

And we got virtually nothing for him.

We got what we could for him. There wasn't really a market for him. He's played for 3 teams in the 4 years since, enough said really.

We didn't even get as much as Memphis in that ridiculous Pau Gasol trade. I'd much rather have Marc Gasol over any of the crap that we got for Zach.

Pau Gasol is a hall of fame player, I would hope that he would net more in trade than Stat-Bo.

He wasn't considered a HOFer at that time. Shit, I remember there were people on this board who didn't want Gasol when he was still with the Grizz because he was considered overpaid.

Crazy when people are down on a player simply because they have no one around them. He led Grizzlies team to the playoffs in the tough Western Conference with a supporting cast of Jason Williams, Mike Miller and Bonzi Wells. Not exactly world beaters IMO.

I always thought Pau was a highly skilled big man. Very smart player and a versatile skillset.

Certainly the team could use a guy who took a game off to go to a funeral but instead went to strip club where he walked out without paying the bill.

Oh wait, no they couldn't.

Fuck Z-Bo and his empty stats. Call me when Memphis even makes the playoffs with his "leadership".
 
Pau's great now that guys can't get into his head. KG and Perkins made him look like a little boy in the 08 finals. Then last year he finally grew up.

I bet KG doesn't have any material to talk shit with when he plays the Lakers. I fuckin hate the Lakers too, but I have way more respect for Pau Gasol than any player on the Celtics outside of Ray Allen.

Jermaine O'Neal?
 
Outlaw had 27 with 7 boards tonight, but the Nets lost at home.

He's been unreal from 3 so far this season.
 
Outlaw had 27 tonight. Lost to the Cavs though. How bout those Cavs? Leading their division, 7 games into the season.
 
Kevin Love with a double-double in the 1st half against the Lakers. Meaningless stats though, its going to be in a losing effort....

yawn
