Chandler is the man guys the takeover starts 2day!...good to see Gallo play he'll get a rythm on his shot as the season progresses...whats up with Marbury sitting out i didnt know he did anything to get on D'Antoni's bad side...and we need to improve on our composure we allowed the heat to get back in the game by taking to many jumpshots we played lack-a-dasical thats what probably pissed D'Antoni off the most cause he looked PISSED off during the final minutes...anyways its a good win im excited for the first time in a long time and i love what Chandler is becoming..Nate will find his shot as will Gallo Lee was great with the hustle...and how bout Z-Bo making a statement today...next stop Philly we'll make em 0-2:gony:
Chandler was the MVP tonight....He may not have lead the team in scoring, but he got some timely baskets, hustled the entire game, played decent Defense, and helped energize the team. This kid is an athletic freak. He outplay the guy he is always getting compared to in Shawn Marion.
I really like D's use of Mardy and Q on DWade. They forced him into bad shots. Q didn't play that bad. Should he be starting? No. He should be 7th or 8th off the bench for instant offense and some defense, cause he does seem to have his defensive game back like he did years ago when we used him as our stopper on guys like LeBron and such. Mardy needs to work on dribbling lower because he is havinga tendency to get stripped...His D and decisions making are pretty good, but I wasn't impressed with the majority of his shots...The early drive where he got fouled was good, but later in the game he was tring too hard to create as were all the team. Crawford still drives me crazy with those awful drives of his...Does 4 windmill change layups and shoots a floater that bricks or airballs...He is just lucky Chandler or Lee are there to take care of his mess most of the time...
Even with Crawford leading us in scoring...Was not impressed....Still over dribbled and made bad shots and passes. His spot up shooting was good and that is what he needs to focus on. If he can nail that down and work on his selection he'll be much better for it.
Nate was great energy off the bench. Dribbled too much at the end but it worked out.
The biggest thing I saw in the game was our lack of an inside presence. We need an athletic shot blocker badly. We were gettting pulverized early and were sending them to the line like crazy. We seriously need to make a trade for a legit 7 footer that can blok shots....Darko still available? Thats the kid we need...
