My thoughts after seeing the first 3 games

[Admin]

• Josh Smith is a very underrated passer
  
• Josh Smith is a bad ball handler
  
• Marvin is very active and not afraid to shoot
  
• Marvin needs to work on his post moves as it seems like he is hoping for fouls right now
  
• Josh Childress is the unquestionable leader of this team, at least without Al there
  
• Salim and Marvin will make us a much better FT shooting team this year
  
• Salim is not afraid to shoot from anywhere
  
• We are going to get killed inside this year if someone talented is not brought in. Mbenga of Dallas looked like Deke in his prime against us
  
• Diaw is terrible running the point
  
• Marvins jumper isnt as solid as I thought it would be, at least not yet
  
• Ivey and Donta might not make the team this year
  
• Arthur Johnson might be able to fill an Ekezie role for us
  
• I really cant stand the Utah announcers
  

...more to come as the games progress

Thanks for the info.

Are you still planning on making the DVD's?

[Admin]

Yeah definitely. I have the first 3 games already added to the DVD, just waiting till thursday and friday for them to air the last 2 games. Then I will compile the DVD on saturday and give you guys my PayPal or address info and should be able to get them mailed out monday morning.

Just be warned, the Utah announcers are horrible.

I totally agree with everything you said dolfan. Yesterday in an interview with Marvin against the Sonics game, he stated that his shot is not falling like it normally is. So hopefully his jumper is better than what we seen.

I still feel that his hamstring is holding him back a bit.

Is it any better than last year?

Don't have NBA TV on stupid Charter cable.

I don't think he's an underrated passer as much as he is a vastly improved passer. He was not nearly that good last year. You can tell he's focused on passing more and better. I saw him throw a number of bounce passes in summer league, I didn't see any from him last year.

His handle has actually improved a good bit from last year, but yeah it's still pretty horrible.
