Nothing Resolved

I've been groping for meaning from Friday's game in Charlotte, and I'm struggling.

  • Francisco Garcia is frickin hot right now. The great thing about Garcia, I think, is he doesn't feel the need to toss up ridiculous 'heat checks,' something Mike Bibby always did. Garcia hasn't rushed a thing the last three games. He's been flawless.
  • Spencer Hawes' first stints are always better than his second stints. Not really sure there's anything to take from that, but yeah. He's a foul machine in the third quarter.
  • Me and Quincy Douby are ready for the Anthony Johnson experience to end. Please.
  • Beno Udrih's idea of a bad shot is a wacky lay-up attempt. This is much better than the off-balance jumper as a bad shot.
  • Brad Miller's an angry, angry man. One thing I noticed Friday: He runs a lot harder in non-transition possession changes. He was downright galloping in one sequence as Raymond Felton brought the ball up slowly. He wouldn't have went that hard in a fast break last season.
  • Shelden Williams might be shorter than Kevin Martin. There's no way he's 6'9.
  • Adam Morrison belongs in the 1970s.

Defensive Agression

KD hyped me to this Kings-centric entry over at The Xs and Os of Basketball site, a place I always glance at but never read. I am wrong for neglecting it so.

This is video package from the Dallas game Xs and Os put together to show off Reggie Theus' pressure man-to-man, which I'd always considered to be a product more of having a bunch of gamblers in the backcourt positions rather than a sentient strategy.

It makes sense, considering the lack of shotblocking on the interior. And it makes me feel kind-of good to think there is a defensive strategy going on here.

I Know What Devin Harris Did Last Summer

Acting lessons.

I know what Josh Howard and Brad Miller both should have done last summer: Anger management.

What The Game's Been Missing

jjs has amply corroborated evidence he would know what's going on with Spencer Hawes, which is to say he's not bullsh*tting us. He says Shawes is doing well after surgery and should be back in a few weeks. He also kindly submitted this evidence Shawes is much cooler than his Rocky IV dedication would have you believe.


UPDATE: Sam Amick talked to Spencer's dad, who confirms. (That surgery was a success, that is. Not that Spencer appreciates some Juelz Santana.)
