Does this picture look a lil funny to anyone other than myself? they both look very in sync
Now onto the game
Team: I felt the team played with alot of hustle and energy, though the defense rotations werent perfect was good to see the effort.
Luol looked better than 06-07 Luol. I hope this isn't just a one off. He looked more aggressive. He looks faster & stronger. Good to see those post moves and his shot going in (a 3pt'r!!!!!)
Kirk was good all around, perhaps not great at pg but did alot of little things and shot well.
Taj & James look like great draft picks at the moment. Johnson of course has alot more potential it was freaky to see how fast he was despite his size, as well as his ball handling and passing skills. Seeing both of them made me not fear losing Thomas, or Thomas not playing where we need him to (close to the rim and box out Tyrus!)
Pargo did what he does, some of his passes were off but he could handle the ball at least.
Derrick Byers to me is a keeper on a min salary. I love his energy and hustle, and despite him choking on the 2 free throws I think he's worth giving a shot. He might be handy if we get injuries to our backcourt.
Noah hmmm towards the end his contesting of shots was good, plus i liked his ability to put the ball to the floor. However he dropped a few good passes, didnt rebound well enough and still looked like he got outplayed on the strength end against some of the Jazz front court. Those crap passes didnt help either.
Chris Richards grabbed a few boards thats about it i think he'll be cut very soon
