Duff_Man Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Quote: Personally i don't see missing Zaza as a source of adversity. He just isn't that good. However playing in the thin air at Denver on the second game of a back to back against a strong team is definitely a problem. I don't expect much. That is absurd. Zaza does all he can. I am so sick of people bashing him. You honestly think we are just as good without him? That's preposterous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Quote: Zaza does all he can Problem is he can't do much. He can't shoot the midrange shot, he can't finish near the basket, he can't get defensive rebounds or play D and he turns it over too much. The only things he does reasonably well are shoot foul shots and get offensive rebounds, many of which are his own misses. Are we just as good without him? Probably not because his backup Lo is a bum. And i didn't say that anyway. But his absence will mean more minutes for Shelden and Solomon and the way Zaza has been playing that is a good thing in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I won't predict the score but the deck sure seems stacked against us. But the NBA is wierd. the Pistons just lost back to back games to the Bobcats and Blazers. When we won 13 games a couple of years ago one of those victories was a blowout win in Detroit. Strange things can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iman Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Wow, I need to respond to most everyone of those posts. I think we were jetlagged last nite. We couldnt get any loose balls, got killed on the boards, Lue looked especially bad. Still, if Lue had a normal game we would have been in it. Of course Seattle without Ray Allen is not near the team Denver appears to be. I think we have to stay in the game early tonite and then maybe we'll get a second wind, kinda thinking that tonite's game is humpday may give them a surge. I'll say 108-98 Denver. I've heard that very top athletes arent very altitude effected, especially if not in a full endurance sport. I dont notice it just hanging out or playing tennis in Denver. It kicks my but if I try to go running. Freije could shoot in college. I think the extra distance and the fact that he is no longer the man and is fighting for a job is too much for him. He's an average euroleague player at best. I wouldnt put him on the court if I were Woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 We are so short tonight that we will likely get blown out of the gym. It will give our young guys lots of time to log minutes. We also need to give JJ some rest if the game gets out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I wish ZaZa would take some of that aggression and use it when he goes to the basket. He likes to do his dipsy doodle under the rim thing that usually gets blocked. Go strong to the hole big guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusBoyIsBack Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hopefully I don't jinx it but so far no blowout. So I guess we're doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are up 4 at the half on the road in the second game of a back to back against a team that has won 8 of their last 10. Both teams have 21 rebounds.

exodus Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 How many times did he get his hands on one of their passes. His D totally disrupted their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 to try to appease Johnnybravo. 21 pts on 7-15 shooting. This is why i have been begging for them to play Shelden late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted December 7, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I gotta admit Shellhead has freaking ice for blood. His free throw shot is wacky but damned if it doesn't go in almost every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDawgs21 Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 So I wonder what all of Walt's project players would hae done down the stretch. Getting tips on balls, hitting clutch free throws, ummmmmmmmmmmm. I love the irony in Walt's argument. He blames BK for having an awful winning %. So clearly winning now is important. So Bk drafts the best guy to helps us win now, and stop rebuilding. Then Walter gets upset cause he cant havea guy that will be good 5 years from now. Just a hunch but I doubt Sene gets 4 steals and its the big FT down the stretch. So I guess Walt would rather have a win in 5 years then this one tonight?
