Sometimes they are one in the same especially if they are Hollywood people.

AA should get 20 MPG. He was fantastic. There is no reason for Rip and CB to play heavy minutes with him. The 1st foul against Sheed was as bad as the 5th. That put him back on his heels in my opinion. He played great in the 4th though. Tay was really getting to me in this one. I almost went through the roof when he got blocked by Perkins. Only 38 + minutes for Dysse? Maybe him and Ray Allen can race when they're both cripple in a few months?

Hell of a game.

Hell of a crowd too. I wish our crowd could get at least half that rowdy.

But, we are planning to have the issue solved by the next tip off if not tonight.

It's a little harder to test these kind of things in theory because you actually have to have them live on the server to verify certain variables. It's likely you'll see it one of three ways 1) it's simply gone. 2) it goes haywire again before it gets right (38 days) or 3) it gets fixed and works flawlessly.

Please bear with us.

I love the addition of the countdown! What a cool feature. Thanks Low!

AA is not a point guard and neither is Rip, though he has played it some.

No way to give AA 20 minutes a game. Rip plays a lot better when he gets more minutes like 35 or so.

I can see AA getting 15 or so minutes but no more.
That should be about the number of minutes that Hot Rod gets once he gets into the flow of things.

Rip is capable of defending alot of SF's in the league. You can get AA 5 more mins/game if you play Rip at the sf spot, and sit (no J)Arvis Hayes, when he's off the mark.

You are correct.

AA can also defend the 3, though I think Rip would score okay when playing the 3, whereas AA would probably score less from the 3 than from the 2.

Just got home. Glad to see AA did well again. I agree he needs 20 min at least.

Didn't watch the game or read the posts yet, but how the hell did we win w/ Tay going 1 for 10, and Sheed 3-10?!

We are deeper than they are, now, and we should get deeper later. Important minutes by Hunter and Afflalo as they exposed their point guard play. But again it was Maxiel's key boards that tilted the balance.

Won' t get too high by this one but we should get better as the season goes on.
