Now get him to an oxygen chambers ASAP!

In my opinion, Evans needs to sit back and watch now that he has gotten a taste of the action. I see major body language issues with Martin, Nocioni etc. and a whole lot of standing around once Evans starts to pound the rock. It’s a long season, sitting a game or two now instead of risking further injury is a good excuse to let Evans watch the game flow without him on the court.

Evans, to me looks like a player who doesn’t like to lose and is trying to put the team on him back. Nocioni looks like a player who wants to get his stats and whether he’s shooting well or not, he is going to keep hoisting. Martin looks like a player who is wondering why does this Evans guy keep dibbling the clock out and if he’s going to do, then so am I when I get the ball in my hands. The rest of the team looks like a bunch of dudes watching this battle of wills, wondering why in the hell one player (Evans or Martin) keeps wasting the entire shot clock.

There are a few exceptions. Casspi has that, throw the frisbee again, throw the frisbee again look that you see in those dogs at the park that wear handkerchiefs around their necks. Desmond Mason has that squinty, why does the hoop look so small look.

Any way, Evans needs to see the effect he is having on the flow of the game and try to incorporate his teammates into the action. Westphal need to force Evans to run an offensive set, teach Evans how to use screens and put shooters in the game around the perimeter to free Evans to drive and give him someone to pass to.

Evans can’t sit….my fantasy team needs him. o_O

2 points, 6 boards, 4 blocks, 5 fouls in ~12 mins.

I think Memphis will be tough for us. So many weapons. Mayo, Conley, Gay, Randolph, Gasol.

“to pound the rock.” LOL. Now we need to find a decent backup.

As Ziller points out, our problems are mostly on the other side of the ball.
