Frye schooled Bogut last night. Forget about a Frye vs. Bogut debate. I think the Bucks are happy they have their guy and we are happy we have ours.

Watching Frye shoot actually reminds me of Allan Houston. Not the form, but when he releases the ball you just expect it to go in. If it doesnt you expect the next 2 to go in. A big man that can shoot like that is such a weapon and you got a taste of how tough Curry/Frye can be together on offense. Curry needs a 10 footer and both need to learn some fundamental rebounding but the makings are there.

I also liked last night's SL. Hell.. I would gladly ride that rotation out to a 30 win season if we actually had our draft pick next year.

Nate and Frye bring some nice intangibles. That line up would like a lot better with crazy Ron thought :)

Channing Frye is gonna be a problem for the league... He is coachable, and has a good b-ball IQ. He has that outside J workin... If he gets a decent post game (Besides the hook), and can face up and take people off the dribble... Its a wrap!

He's a keeper.. I ain't been this excited about a NY Big man since PE!

Let me mention one other thing:

Now, I'm not comparing him with Bogut but a couple people mentioned Bogut's "intangibles." While Frye's scoring is great, it's actually his intangibles that excite me more. For example:

-who's giving all the quotes for this morning's papers?
-who's saying all the right things in those quotes?
-Last night, when Steph was obviously off late in the game, Frye went up and rubbed his head like a magic lamp as if to say, "that's all right fella, it's just not your night." (who's the rookie?!)
-Last night, for some reason, Frye looked like the only player out there who wanted or cared to play for our team.

Bottom line, Channing knows what the game of basketball is about and what it means to us NY Fans. That is why he's untouchable. You can't replace that. Isiah struck gold with him. Now everyone else is admitting that. Under no circumstances do you just trade that away.

I love his hook and can't believe it is not use more by younger players. He can run the court as well as you saw with that fastbreak with Nate and Marbs.

Pharzeone.. I ain't knockin the hook shot. No question I think that it should be used more in post play (NBA). Eddy Curry has been doing his thing too on the low with the hook shot. What I was saying is that, Channing Frye has the ability to put the ball down on the floor. Once he implements that into his game, he'll virtually be unstoppable! That's gonna propel him to the next level.. We forget that it is still early, this kid has years to acquire certain skill sets. I think thats impart to how he's been able to deliver thus far as a rookie. Channing Frye is gonna have to keep getting better though, because teams are already playing his jumper a little bit tighter now.. He's in their scouting reports.. If he starts dribbling, taking maybe one or two dribbles with a move to the basket.. He will keep the opposing defender off-balance thus making him a more potent offensive player.

Frye last night got the ball off the pick and roll, went up over both magloire and bogut and hit a left hand jump hook all net. I was like wow!! that is just nasty. nasty... I also like his intangibles, just watch him play team defense, and how he moves the ball, he doesn't seem to make bad passes or rush bad shots. I like his poise..

BTW: is it a coincidence that Players coached by lewt Olson are good players, I mean look at the list.

Frye, bibby,Terry, jefferson, Kerr, elliot, Both stoudamires, salim and damon, the late Brian williams, just to name a few, all of these guys can ball.....

Bip, your fundamentals are lacking. When a 4'11" chick attempts to steal a rebound from you, you don't secure the ball by elbowing her in the mouth. You go for the cranium. This is basic knowledge Bip.

I should point out that the commissioner and I had a little discussion about my attitude after the latest incident. Apparently I need to tone it down a little bit.

That's hilarious you should say that because I've been looking for a way to work fugazy into my trash talking
