Sorry, had to do it!
Well, by that logic he may get credit for two wins tonight...because the Nets are beating the Lakers and he's not there either!
Seriously, we likely won the battle of the boards because Thad wasn't there. Maybe he might have been more successful defending Morris though...who knows?
Tonight we won because Gorgui was terrific off the bench and then filling in as the starting PF from the second half on. Do we realize that you and Pork are still throwing jabs at Thad and for what reason? He's not even here anymore. I'm not even sure J.J. Barea got as much hate as Thad did/does. Makes no sense.
Game ball tonight goes to Kevin Martin. The guy can score 30 any given night and makes it look effortless. I have been on the "keep Martin" wagon since we signed him basically. Some of you have flip-flopped whether it was based on Martin's contract, age or durability. I continue to think he's an absolute bargain in today's NBA. Not to mention his defensive effort was clearly there tonight.
Ricky had a measly 10/14/8 game. Shot looked flat tonight. I expect him to bounce back after the first game back from the AS break. It's refreshing that he's still able to control the game when his scoring is rough. I think that gets knocked, his struggle to score, but he's just so damn effective in other facets of the game that you can live with it. How about that play with about 1:30 left in the game. He drives right, pulls Len away from the basket, Pek dives to the rim and Rubio rewards him, Pek has Len pinned under the rim, pivots and actually converts the clutch layup. Huge play.
