boring game. afflalo should've gotten more PT. hopefully flip isn't caving into rip wanting more minutes, but rip *was* hot tonight and playing very well. would've liked to see AJ against similar competition, but oh well. unfortunately for amir, nazr's been playing well.

maxiell is a beast. i love his little tricky move that he does when going for an offensive rebound. basically he runs into the lane and bumps the opposing player, but he does it while keeping his head up looking at the ball, so the foul never gets called. this gives him a clear board and an easy putback.

if you want to know what i mean, which maxiell vs. cleveland in that ECF game last year, when he delivers a 'facial' on lebron james. he shoves pavlovic out of the way to get the board, and absolutely no one notices. he did the same thing last night against darko.

i just hope everyone continues to not notice.
