I LOVE Jrue Holiday…
He has everything it takes to be what Westbrook is in OKC.
NBA is about opportunity.

How’s Pech doing this season anyway?

M2 — I agree w/ you; the season is young. We can improve. I didn’t mean to indicate that I am terribly worried. In fact, the only real concern I have about Gil is the turnovers.

neal — yes, Nick played pretty well last night. He shot pretty well, and he complemented that with some productivity on the boards and even had a couple of assists. If he always played at last night’s level he’d be a somewhat above average NBA 2 guard.

Of course, the guy who had the best game last night was Jrue Holiday, the Philly rookie. He had 11 points on only 6 shots to go with 6 rebounds, an assist, 2 steals and a blocked shot! — in 9:40. Thank heavens he didn’t play longer!!! That’s the first I’ve seen of him. Looks like he could be one heck of a player.

I didn’t say Gil was playing well…
I said that I can’t believe how desperate everyone on this blog is right now.
I will agree I expected 9-4 vs the 4-9 we are but think about it all for a minute.
We basically have NEW everything. It will all get sorted out…
Relax, breathe in a bag… & enough with all the knee jerk trade talk & benchings.
I mean I’ve heard Flip sucks, bench Butler, trade Arenas, where’s Etan when you need him?, etc etc… RELAX

I heard all this same stuff about Kobe two seasons ago in LA from the fans there when he came back from injury & the Lakers stunk it up for a while (not two seasons away, but back from injury nonetheless) & now they all think he’s GOD again. Ahhhhhhh, sports!

Tom, I know you don’t like Slick but you gotta admit he had a good game last night. As did Antawn, Andray and JaVale. It was particularly neat to see the two guys who had scarcely been playing make the difference (Slick and McGee).

I do agree that Gil is playing poorly. He is certainly all world in TO’s.

I just don’t get why Oberto plays. McGee is clearly better. And now that Blatche is playing the 3, let him also back up Jamison and let McGuire get time at the 3. What does Oberto do that McGuire doesn’t do except get a lot of TO’s.

And I think Young will prove to be a better 2 than Stevenson or Foye. His D is now almost as good and he’s worlds better on the offensive end.

Good games last night from Antawn, Andray and JaVale.

M2 — you think Gil is playing *well?* No, actually, he’s playing terrible basketball right now.

Gil does an outstanding job at the point and his defense is not as bad most people think. Matter of fact, his d is not bad at all. He tends to zone up during man to man d

So I’m still overseas & have been cruising the blog for updates & such (with the time dif it really helps) but not really posting.
I have to say folks, y’all are really coming up with some crazy solutions, trades, benchings, etc.
It’s pretty funny stuff but at the same time depressing… What’s happened on here?
The Wiz will sort everything out & be fine.
