That's pretty funny. I didn't see a Balkman post when he was getting DNP's in his previous games.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

don't worry, when Roberson has his 1st decent game you'll have your turn.

I think your being a little to harsh on the guy, he's only getting spot dutie and that sucks especially since he's a rythem shooter. Dont think for one minute i wouldn't prefer balkman of ariza, just not in this system

i get angry when i'm watching the game & i see Roberson chucking up shots like his name's Allan Houston & clanging them off the side of the rim... i know this offense is predicated on guys taking shots whenever they have an open look, but i'd much rather see Nate, Jamal, Duhon, Q Rich, Chandler or even Gallo taking those shots & seeing a garbage collector type player running around on the periphery making hustle plays & finishing w/highlight dunks on the fastbreak... if not Balk, then Ewing Jr... either guy would make more sense for our needs than Roberson.

Two things:

1.) He would not be in our rotation
2.) It's possible that the other players said some negative things aobut him. It's possible.

1. You are wrong by 10 miles. If he's an impact player off the bench for the best team by far in the league--he certainly would be playing in the Knick rotation--very very likely in the starting unit where Q Rich lays. Don't confuse Trevor Ariza from what he was to what he is right now--watch their games and come back and tell me that.
2. who knows who cares

You have a point but it gets muted, because again niether one of those guys can knocked down a jumper consistantly. chandler fills that role plus more. In terms of balance, you want guys like balk, Jr, and ariza, but In mike system you need to be a versatile player or a straight shooter.

1) Ariza has turned into a solid SF but he is no up and coming star. He just gives the Lakers what they need from that position.

2) If Roberson is supposed to be a deadon shooter, I am not seeing it. He made a few yesterday but the guy has been inconsistent IMO. Plus, he does not look like he can do anything else but shoot. If we do the trade with GS and get Bellinelli, we need to cut Roberson and let Bellinelli play his role.

Trust the Process

Didn't see the game but I know Chris Anderson got hurt. Does anyone know if this is why Balk's minutes went way up?

Ariza is a beast this year. I'd take him over Q Rich easily

I thought Renaldo could've been Diaw like in this system. Who knows if he would've really cracked the rotation though.

Did Denver win those games? Quality minutes?

Balky usually played great on the energy unit with nate that wiped out 10 of a 20pt deficit.

Sun, Nov 9 F Renaldo Balkman hadn't played in three of Denver's previous four games before Sunday. However, because of injuries to big men Kenyon Martin and Chris Andersen, he game off the bench to total 12 points and six rebounds in 25 minutes Sunday against Memphis. Because of the injuries, Balkman's role figures to remain increased the rest of November.

Whoa, hold up.

Balkman was playing behind "Sky-High" Chris Andersen?

Wow, he used the word lout.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

In regards to Balk's game Cheick Samb's minutes are also supposed to be increasing. George Karl's quote was, "You play what you have."
