The View From Section214, 1/12

by section214 on Jan 12, 2008 10:48 PM PST in Recaps

Pregame
The section is on red alert tonight as we secure the perimeter to keep Chris the Greek out of our area, especially the yuppie seats.
First three game win streak of the season tonight?
Wow, I didn't realize that Salmons and Dunleavey had such similar numbers.
Biggest introductions ovation for Salmons, nice applause for Theus, too.
12,000 fans?

1st Quarter
As many points as turnovers through the first five and half minutes (6). This is the lineup that Martin has to earn his way back into?
Martin in to a rousing ovation, about half the people standing.
Just like old times, it takes five possessions to get Martin a touch...he scores.
We end the quarter shooting 60% field and perfect from the line with an 11-8 rebounding advantage, down 8 points. Guess those 11 turnovers hurt.

2nd Quarter
Oh, that Kevin Martin. Me thinkst it won't take too long for him to re-claim his starting spot.
Why are we trying to force feed the ball to Mikki Moore?
Oh, that Kevin Martin, with the buzzer beater.
65 points yielded at halftime. Yeah, Bibby and Martin are going to have to really bring it to crack this defensive juggernaut.
Can we get a minute or two for Hawes and 3-Wil?

3rd Quarter
6:45 left and we're within five and the place is going nuts. Must be the loudest cheers ever for a team on pace to turn the ball over 30 times.
One ref down, two to go. Maybe Ron can fill in.
2.7 left in the quarter and you're inbounding at 3/4 court. Who do you want to get it to? Red Lobster for the seafood lover in you.

4th Quarter
Does Garcia have the biggest motor on this team or what?
Tired legs for Martin late. Nice first game back, though.
I hate losing.

Nice recap Section

This couldn't have been the most enjoyable game to attend. I really hope this isn't the same team that finishes the year. Isn't it obvious that keeping Bibby and Artest won't help the team make the playoffs? If you can't beat the Pacers who are struggling how are you going to run the table to make a run of it in the gauntlet?

That being said every game is a chance to see how the young guys progress. 3will & Shawes need minutes. Maybe TZ should consider running a Play 3Wil/Shawes petition like ClipperSteve did with Corey Maggette last year on ClipsNation.

moore v. the young guns

Moore is getting too many minutes that Hawes and Williams should be getting. He simply doesn't bring enough to the table to warrant taking minutes away from these two. I guarantee if Hawes played Moore's minutes he'd easily outscore him and grab at least as many boards. Williams might double his rebound numbers.

And his is inability to hold on to the ball is getting beyond tiresome.

Unfortunately, Reggie has had far too short a hook for both Williams and Hawes. When Ron Ron comes back their minutes will be further reduced because of Ron's ability to play 4 and the number of good swing men we have on the squad.

I agree

But it could something of an old school thing too. Rookie's earn their minutes and not given them.

In case you ever want to do the youtube thing the way Louis and TZ do (well TZ) Louis told me along time how to do it. Here's the link and louis does the rest.

Thanks for the tip, pookey

I tried it on my most recent post (about practice) and it errored out my entire article, which I write pretty much off the top of my head. I had to do the whole thing all over again. You've made a powerful enemy today, young man. ;)

Are you really?

I think you like being a provocatour(sp?).

No need to be sorry

I don't mind ruffling a few feathers to make a point this is true. I also have had stuff deleted due to 1 thing or another (mostly my fault) and know how frustrating it is. Therefore I did mean it. So there Rhonda poo!

Musicians always welcome,

as they provide the soundtrack for my life. We were on the lookout for The Greek after his most recent diary made me a little nervous. I'm over it now. That ouzo really calms the nerves.
