The Bucks are a tough team this year. Jennings is looking like the steal of the draft — he was projected in the top 3 through much of the Spring.

You still wish Dray was guarding Bosh??? lol

Tomorrow night Mr. Jennings… Mr. 55 comes to town. Ok Nick.. you have really shown me something from you defensively. You slow Jennings down like you did Wade and you will have truely elevated yourself.

It was nice to see Gilbert shake off “some” rust tonight. A few more games and he will be Hibaching in China town again.

Slow BJ down tomorrow night and win. Nick? You up for it?

Go Wizards

So I was watching the game tonight when he didnt get the call and he got the tech. I said that was definatly a foul but if you watch the replay you can see that the ref is not giving Gil any calls because he wont elevate. Its been like that in alot of games. He should definatly be getting more calls but most of the times his layups are prayers. He jumps but is still releasing it from the ground because he cant get up. I feel sad for Gil. He’s a righty but that also means that you elevate off your left leg in most cases and thats his injuried leg. Even when he’s playing at a solid speed and attacks the rim, he doesnt get off the ground at all.

Im so 50/50 on the cause. I swear one minute I think its all mental and the next minute I think his knee is just not there, wether thats now or ever again. The reason why I think its mental is because he was playing with some hops in the Summer, some in the Preseason, and he got up mad high against the Mavs on a couple of drives on opening night. Still, that doesnt mean that it didnt break down some again. However, you can tell by the way he speaks and his body language that he’s also not going all out. I also think its the JVG factor. I remember listening to JVG call some games and he was saying how sometimes guys think they are playing really hard but they arent. Thats so true and its not really a knock on the player. Gil might truly think that he is jumping as high as he can but he’s really not. Sometimes you need someone to really point it out to you and tell Gil to just jump as high as he can sometimes to get over the fear.

Again, I still have tapes of him from a couple of years ago when he attacked 7footers and always got the call because he was at there height when it was contact. Now he’s at like there chest or stomach when there is contact. I remember him kneeing Bynum in the chest or stomach and making him fall to the ground when he attacked the rim. Now his knee is at the level of there knee when he jumps. That truly is the difference in like 10ppg, either from just making layups or getting to the line. Again though, it could truly be physical. Sometimes it looks like it is. Sometimes it looks like the right side of his body & leg has mad push but the left side or left leg is just dead. Also, some games he plays with no speed & engergy but there are games like tonight when he has solid speed, tempo, and engergy but still cant elevate. Thats when someitmes I think its physical because he’s playing with burst in other aspets but just not on jumping. Either way, lets just hope it gets better. I know Gil and he plays off confidence. Tonight was definatly a builder and I think he will try to go at Jennings on the home floor tomorrow

What??????? He’s waited a season and a half to be able to say that….LOL….Did he really have anything to say besides he beat you to the phone…LOL…It was great, I’ll take you being second on the phone call and get wins for the rest of the season of the season…LOL…Better yet, next time, just tell him you had to wrap up your blog show before you called….ORRRRRRRRRRR you can tell him you don’t call in, they call you…..ROFL…

Arenas looked better to me. Played w/i himself and played smarter.

Where is that Hopla guy? Somebody call him. We must be last in the NBA in FT%.

Thanks for taking my call Glenn
