    There's two quick fouls on Rose. Rondo is killing with the pushes in transition. Gotta pick him up sooner.
  2. SpongeWorthy
    I do think Perkins was mostly mouthing off but we should expect Thibodeau and the Celtics to throw a different defensive game plan at Rose tonight. It'll be up to him and Vinny to adjust properly. I'm thinking Ben Gordon will need to show up before the last half of the 4th quarter tonight.

    Somewhere, Dwight Howard is frowning. I figured somebody would bring that up. The two of them are dead even by most experts opinions. About half choose Howard and half choose Yao. I choose Yao for obvious reasons but you should look at their head-to-head stats. I don't really think it's even all that close. Yao is a better shooter. Leaps and bounds a better shooters. But, what does he do better than Howard outside of jump shots and FTs? Howard has only missed 3 total games in his 5 seasons in the league. Yao has missed 93 in 7 seasons. Howard is much better defensively and pulls down a whole lot more boards. Yao's not just a better shooter...he's a better overall offensive player. Better shooter, better post moves, better passer, etc. Howard is still pretty raw when it comes to establishing himself on the block and carrying an offense that way. In fact, I'm not sure he'll ever be a true #1 option on offense in the mold of Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson, etc. If you've got Howard, you've got to surround him with shooters because you can take him out of the game offensively otherwise. But yeah, I'd still take Howard because of his defense, youth, health, and conditioning (Yao isn't going to ever be a guy that can play 40 minutes consistently).

    I wonder if Hollinger still thinks Brook Lopez should be RotY.
  5. SpongeWorthy
    Yeah probably. But Thomas is a 78% FT shooter, has good form, and has shown he can make open jumpers in stretches this year. It's not like Noah was out there draining shots. Ray Allen is harder to figure. He was horrific for over a month of playoff basketball last year.

    Miller is such an infuriating (yet useful) player. He's too slow for even an effective pick and pop game because he takes so long to load up his shot and then he'll ball fake, lumber towards the basket, and if he isn't called for a travel throw up some horrible pass/shot up. But at the same time, he has stretches where he holds down the interior and is a total glass eater (especially with Noah). I think you have to give Vinny credit for playing Miller/Tyrus when matchups warranted it. And oh yeah, Derrick FREAKING Rose.

    Oh my god I just finished the game on DVR. Most nerve racking NBA game I've watched since Game 6 against Utah.
  8. SpongeWorthy
    Hmm. The clock did stop. I didn't think there was anyway Miller would've had time for that. Gordon did get fouled on the 3 though.
  9. SpongeWorthy
    Miller's body can't keep up with his head. I've never seen a player fake himself out so much.
  10. SpongeWorthy
    DOINK!
  11. SpongeWorthy
    It only took 83 games for Derrick to start getting calls.
  12. SpongeWorthy
    That "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" movie looks worse than the Holocaust.
  13. SpongeWorthy
    Derrick and Jo look great on offense. Gotta play both ways though.

    If you haven't read this reconstruction of events leading up to the crash you should. Great reading and just very sad overall. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4075761

    Ram needs to hammer those totally underwhelming fastballs highish in the zone--instead he waves at the slider.

    Outside of the Lilly start, the starting pitching has been nothing to write home about either. Harden's first start was pretty damn good. Oh yeah. I guess I forgot that after his sparkling performance on Wednesday.

    At least he hit it hard.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    Hoff smoked that.

    How long are hockey intermissions?
  21. SpongeWorthy
    I heard Cutler was wearing a Red Sox cap to the Hawks game. Confirm/deny?
  22. SpongeWorthy
    I know nothing about hockey so pardon my ignorance. But is Versus really over lapping the Blackhawks game with the Red Wings/Blue Jackets game by ~1 hour (or more)?
  23. SpongeWorthy
    If Rose has Rose guarding him Rose is going to go off on Rose.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    Feels like it's been a week since Fontenot got on base.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    Does David Patton have some Charlie Villanueva thing going on?
