TZ Minus 6 - TZ Lives!

While the TZ's continue their cruise and I continue to lounge around their house in Lady Z's clothes (not that there's anything wrong with that), our gifted (and sorely missed) leader continues to post time released nuggets at AOL Fanhouse. If you have not been following this, he is doing an "NBA Frankenstein" series on the impending draft class (Beasley, Rose and B.Lopez so far). Good stuff. Hurry back, young man. We want mo', mo', mo.

Also, just in case anyone missed Ronnie Price stuffing the evil empire.

haha.

I loved Ronnie Price when he was here, glad to see him doing his thing in Utah. Now that we need a solid back up point guard I wish we never let him get away… Of course I was displeased at the time we let him go as well.

Not sure Utah considers him that solid

I mean, he’s not exactly tearing it up. Playoffs he’s averaging 6.1 minutes and 2.9 points with 1.1 assists on 34.6% shooting (23.1% from three).

Not that I don’t like the guy, but I think a couple of monster dunks may have inflated our estimation of his actual talent.

Sticking it to the Lakers is always muy bueno though.

Very true

I never really thought to highly of him as a player. I knew he’d be a good backup at best. However, Ronnie’s biggest contribution is his “Holy Shit!” moments. Last year it was the dunk on Boozer. This year its probably that block. That’s why I miss Ronnie; I’d rather pay him a million a year for one awesome play than pay K9(woof) $7 million a year to do nothing.

Playoff threadjack

So middle of the 3rd in the NO/SA game. Spurs down 8 in the midst of what would eventually become a Hornets 20-7 run. Robert Horry with the ball in a gotta have possession, in the playoffs. And he launches one off the side of the backboard and it bounces back to him and he ends up having to fall onto the ball to keep it as the shot clock expired.

Is it wrong that this happened like 10 mins ago and I’m still smiling? Is it wrong that I’ve already replayed it 3 times via the magic of Tivo?

Hornets / Spurs

I find it so easy to root for the Hornets and so hard to root for the Spurs.

The Hornets are Paul (the next greatest player), Peja (from bad back to he’s back!), Chandler (I’ll take some of him for our interior defense, please), West (underrated overachiever), Bonzi, Byron, New Orleans…good stuff.

The Spurs play great basketball but every time I watch them I hear Homer Simpson yelling “boring!” I like Duncan, but Ginobli (a very good player) drives me crazy with his lazy defense which leads to a lot of grabbing and flopping, Parker is flopper jr., Bowen is a cheap shot artist, and Horry is…well…Horry.

Go Hornets.

I can appreciate good basketball

Even if it’s boring, like the Spurs have been accused of being. But they lost any benefit of the doubt when they started Hack-a-Shaq in the first motherf*cking quarter.

The Spurs

Are dirty because they are coached dirty.

They’re encouraged to grab, elbow, flail, flop and occasionally take someone out. Anybody remember Horry’s hit on Nash last season? Are you going to tell me that Pop didn’t call that?

It has proven to be effective

The plan: foul often, and complain about every foul call, count on the refs not wanting to foul out a star and “decide the game”, so that over time the refs stop calling the small fouls. Couple this with flopping to get more calls on your side, and there you go.

Note: Boston is also using this strategy. Did you see the dunk by James where Garnett pushed him in the chest with both hands and it was a no call Some of the no calls in both of these series’ are just astounding.
