Marv - speaking of the Bullets, do you remember the afternoon Phil Chenier capped Clyde in the back of the neck with a forearm? Clyde looked back nonchantly, to see who it was..... and.... didn't flinch.... he simply proceeded to bust about six consecutive jumpers in his face!
Ah, back in the day!
The '67 NBA champion Philadelphia 76ers - coached by one of the orneriest-looking coaches of ALL-Time.... Alex Hannum. But God's gift to basketball fans. was definately the voice of PA announcer Dave Zinkoff
>>it's not about mo taylor's play (all 2 games of it), but it's more about what that move did to our roster and flexibility. that's my knock on the trade.
What?
Flexibility?
It only allowed Sweetney to start. Kurt to love the pick and roll again. Tim Thomas space in the paint without The Statue of Nazr standing in one spot. Jamal more places to look for moving targets (more assists) and Steph more entries into the post.
Sheesh.
What game are you watching?
The trade allowed the roster to breathe.
flexibility this summer for some deals. it is true, sweetney is starting now (which i'm fearing is a showcase type situation) but regardless, he is starting. i would like to think that if nothing happened at the deadline, he would've been anyway b/c the season was done already.
the only difference between this half and last half is tim thomas. if he's playing like this all season long, it's a different story. we still can't play defense. sweets is still the only guy under the basket. BUT tim is dropping 20ppg.
