3rd vote should be JDR
You're kidding right? I thought he was awful Moose. His inability to defend the pick and roll cost us at least 4 baskets.
Not sure what game you were watching respectfully.
Eh, it happens. People disagree. What did you see from Joey yesterday that impressed you?
Not one person here expected him to contribute. He came in and held his own for someone who hasn't played a competitive basketball game in over a year. He's vocal on the defensive end and barks out assignments. I have to rewatch to see exactly how many times the Whining Baby Waldo had his way with him but I don't think it was many. I remember more long drawn out possessions where his defense was very much helpful. He stays on the ground bodies his opponent and puts his hand in the air. Could he have boarded a big better? Sure. He was inserted over Christian and Amar and yes we were down after 1 he was not the issue. Waldo's points were coming way before he was inserted and our ice cold shooting attributed to that. He is there to spell Chris and not make us worse and he did that and some last night IMO.
Well said. There were a few of us optimists expecting him to give us just what he did due to his size alone.
I'm not sure how effective he'll be against smaller more athletic centers, but he should be able to give us a few quality minutes against big boys like Waldo. He'll never fill the stat sheet, but him and Dom complement each other nicely.
He didn't surrender an inch to Waldo in position and that just threw an entirely different look at him. I don't think we'll see many 12-minute games out of him that will result in wins, but it is nice to have that size off the bench. It says a lot to me that Lav put him in over both Alibegovic and Jones.
I wish he has his brother's skill set.
