I'm really liking this, you gonna do it every day? It should also be useful for fantasy basketball..

Anthony Randolph was the epitome of a chucker in this game.

Stephen Curry looks very solid. His court vision is better than I thought. Reggie Miller made a good point on his development: "For him to get better he has to be on the court..." Jerryd Bayless agrees.

Morrow would be awesome in a Steve Kerr/James Jones type of role.

And how could you leave out Frye? His jumper was automatic! I wish we spaced the floor like the Suns. Frye's pick & pops were so wide open, almost like shooting practice.

What was Frye's line? I'm too lazy/tired right now to look it up.

I'm going to try to.

I left out Frye because I'm trying to keep it even between the good and the bad. It'll get easier as the regular season begins. Wallace barely edged him out because he had some very impressive numbers for only 18 minutes of pt.

If there's any other requests for what you guys want to see added, let me know. I don't want to get too in-depth, but I enjoy doing it.

He had like 19 points and 8 or 9 boards tonight.

Technically that game falls on the 11th

How about including +/- now that just about every boxscore has it? Or are you ideologically opposed to it?

(By the way, thanks for doing what you're doing, he said, trying not to sound too greedy and ungrateful.)

his rookie year stats compare favorably to Rudy's... he's about the same size and (to my eyes) athlete too

In some ways he ought to be, unadjusted +/- with a small sample size is pretty much meaningless.

9 shots in 27 minutes isn't really chucking IMO. He actually took one less shot then the guy he was guarding (Amare), grabbed 13 boards and made it to the line for 10 FTs. He had a pretty decent line actually.
