Baron better destroy Snow, Jones, and Boobie. None of them will remind anyone of Deron.

Al v. Gooden...if they want to try to post up Gooden, they are welcome do do it all night. I still remember Al "pulling the chair out" from under Gooden last year, great stuff. Al's playing very well, Gooden can't guard him.

Pietrus will foul out in the first quarter trying to guard Lebron. Fortunately Lebron is a mediocre FT shooter.

Questions? Complaints?

29 pts, 12 rebs, 15 assits, 11 stls

I hope playing in front of the home crowd will energize the team and some of the slumping players. Barnes has got to step up, especially if the W's hope to contain LeBron. I'm looking to Wright to come in and contribute and also see B-Nelli gain some confidence.

I've got the W's wining by 5. 115-110.

109-88 for the Dubs. Monta proves his critics wrong by scoring 28 with 7 assists.

Trade him now.

The season's started, so I went back to Albert.

first okur
now gibson..

Overall on the nite, we didn't get crushed on the glass, but we didn't get the stls/blks we needed to to win

OFFENSE:
Baron Davis, Monta Ellis, and yes, Kelenna Azubuike collectively went around 20 for 57. We will never win with the backcourt shooting this inefficiently. I'll put the goat of the game on Baron Davis, who took 28 shots (!!!). Sure he got assits, but he also slowed the offense to a crawl a times by dominating possessions juust holding the rock doing nothing and then forcing it at the end. Run the offense and cut, thats what freakin' point guard should do. Monta and Azubuike were also stone cold

Harrington was once again brilliant, but our ballhogging guards couldn't find him enough. He would have worked ILgauskus and Gooden real good, but never had a shot.

Biedrins...i can't figure out the TO's. Last year he caught everything, this year he's missing some passes. A couple instances were because the guards gave him the ball in awkward spots (he should not get the ball when he's going IN to traffic that far from the basket, he should be given the ball when defenders are retreating and he has a shot to actually do something. He still cleaned the glass  and, as I pointed out to some people's disbelief, distributed the ball with 4 assists.

Nellie:
Use the freakin' bench, Belinelli and POb might have given our boys a blow.

Barnes:
Getting back on track, 4/8 overall is solid

Pietrus:
4 fouls in 19 minutes. Dang.

Refs:
Screwed us at the wrong moments. Ellis with a foul then a carry? c'mon, let that stuff go

Ellis' big problem is that when he starts going to the basket, he NEVER kicks it out. Defenses know that when he gets going, they don't have to worry about anything but sending him away.

Azubuike had an off game. Not gonna complain too much.

Baron made some mistakes and did some good things. Once again, not gonna complain too much.

Biedrins worries me a little. It doesn't seem like he's on it like he was last year. I feel like O'Bryant has made more impact on defense when he's been in than Biedrins has so far.

The sooner we start seeing Wright get more time, the sooner we'll know what kind of team this could really be. As annoyed as I am at the loss (especially to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the worst team to ever make the finals), I just don't feel like I have it in me to get too upset at this point. We're not going to lose every game, and the Clippers aren't going to win every game. Things will likely regress to the mean in time.

I was disappointed that Wright only got 3 minutes, although when he came out the Dubz went on a 15-3 run, but that wasn't his fault. Nelson just wanted more offense.

No Belinelli tonight? shoot.

Baron shot 29 frikken times? who does he think he is...Michael Jordan? puh-lease.
