Just put some guy on his ass

This is why I love the Wolves.

They went hard with the Magic for three terms today, did a great job. Then they got the memo.

"Messenger has Orlando at -8 in a three leg multi! Back off guys!"

And they did. Bless.

Orlando clearly got the memo about Minnesota.

55 shots from beyond the arc for both teams, 37 of those from the Magic and 20 of those shared between Rashard Lewis (5-10 while attempting only 2 shots inside the arc) and Ryan Anderson (4-10).

Oh, and when is Gortat going to get warmed up?

6 min, 0-1, 0 boards, 1 block and 3 PF's. That's value for money right there...

Patty had a good first quarter in his D-League game.

12 points (4/8, 3/3 3pt), 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 foul - 9mins 21.

It's interesting that his numbers arent much less than last year's. Playing as Dwight's back up means the time simply won't always be there. They tried him at the 4, and his men were doubling off him at every chance so they are stuck with a 33m man playing 10mpg (unless their plan was to trade him).

The puzzling one was signing Bass. Again, his per minute numbers aren't down on his 2 years in Dallas (other than rebounding) but he is an afterthought in the rotation. Apparently, he can't open the floor up enough for Dwight.

Well Otis, you could have asked any Mavs fan that. Bass is elite between 12-18 feet, but hopeless outside that. He attempted 10 3s in 2 years with Dallas. With Lewis and Anderson, the Magic have found their stretch 4s.

Basically, the Magic invested 51m in insurance policies.

Does anyone else remember those 6 weeks in about 2007 when Jordan Farmar was a decent NBA player?

 

[Dez!]

Mills lighting up for the Stampede 4-5 from 3 point land.

17 points, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds at half time.

Go Patty!

It's the number change that's stuffed him for mine.

 

[sblack]

LA are stinking it up bad. I don't think I've seen 1 guy play D yet.

I just remember the running 3 pointer he made at the halftime buzzer of Game 4 in the Finals (the one where we came back from 24 down). Sickening.

 

[sblack]

Lakers look like the Nets. They are playing reallyyyy bad.

 

[sblack]

Pau just bricked a layup, standing under the basket

Lakers were the $1.10 favorite of a three leg multi (you have the same one, sblack, just with better odds).

 

[Dez!]

24:13 of game time sees Patty Mills record a double-double in his first D-League game with the Idaho Stampede still with 3:38 remaining in the 3rd quarter.

21 points, 10 assists, 3 steals and 3 rebounds.

Shhh. They're hanging around.

I know everything doesn't come down to PER, but...

Player Efficiency Rating

Marcin Gortat
2008/09 - 17.0
2009/10 - 11.8
Career - 15.4

Brandon Bass
2008/09 - 16.4
2009/10 - 17.7
Career - 15.4

They're both doing something differently in the minutes they're playing this year:

• Gortat is turning the ball over more and rebounding less, while shooting slightly worse than he did last season as well.
• Bass is fouling more and rebounding less, but he's still playing more efficiently overall than he did last season, mainly because of a good FG%.

Mills finished with 38 points, 12 assists, 3 steals and just the one turnover from 36 minutes. He shot 7 of 10 from three point range, 5 of 6 from the line and 13 of 25 for the game. Could receive an early call up with Blake out for a few games?

 

[Badga]

Man it was a bad time for me to bench Hawes today. 27 points, 11 boards and 3 treys with 3 to go in the 4th. Very unpredictable this guy

That is a brilliant effort, I would love to see him playing in the NBA.

 

[Hodges]

Anyone see Beno Udrihs layup to take the lead? Pretty, pretty move, schooled Gasol big time.

 

[Badga]

Yeah it was very nice. Would be good to see them get up

 

[RoosterLad]

Udoka misses both free throws, now Lakers have the time out with about 4 seconds left and down by two.

 

[sblack]

Kobe. Stupid. Clutch

 

[Badga]

Can these ESPN ******* **** stop cutting off the end of games for ****ing winter games ads

Yeah how annoying is it? I was wondering why the hell the Lakers had the ball. Bloody Kobe aye

 

[RoosterLad]

Kobe wins it with a 3, what a shock.

 

[Hodges]

His foot was out of bounds. Honestly, they should call the shot off. Looks like its on the line.
