I thought Love looked an awful lot like Harangody.
KK playing 11 minutes is a joke. At least he was efficient on all this opportunities to score, except when he missed a conteseted lay-up.

Let's not forget the layup that he airballed at the buzzer that could have tied the game.

I think it's clear that the 2 best players in the gym were Jonny Flynn and Donte Green.

I read on espn.com that Mayo went 4-17 from the field and was "booed for his shameless shot selection."

As for Caltheses shot, yeah it doesnt look pretty, but when you watch it, he takes his guide hand off the ball so that he basically shoots with one hand, which allows him to not effect his shot with his off hand...
|
it's not just the left hand being off the ball that makes the form good. his last two shots (when he was tired) were pushed, and he extended himself too far toward the basket. if and when he gains strength and stamina, the form will likely become better. his pre-game set shot is fine. his in-game (especially end game) form is poor.

I must be in the minority, but to call him a poor mans jon Diebler is a stretch. I am not saying Diebler isnt as good or better, but to say that Diebler is that much better is looking thru some scarlet tinted glasses...
|
he isn't as quick as diebler. his ability to create his own shot in the open court was terribly poor. his shooting form isn't as good as diebler's. his vertical isn't as good as diebler's. though his court awareness may be better than diebler's, that is debatable. it is not a stretch to call him a poor man's jon diebler, and perhaps some glasses need cleaning.

Just going by what was written and I know that I turned the game to the Cavs in the second half a couple times, but I didnt KK very much when I was watching in the second half...

I am sure he will need some work, but he is a pure shooter and shoots the ball very well...There is no debating that...

It is hard to say who is quicker, you saw Nick on the floor last nite with the quickest players in the country...Nick got off plenty of shots and he also did so all of last spring and summer...Form may not be as good, but there is no questioning that he can shoot, it is a stretch b/c they are on the same level...One is not considerably better than the other one...
Also it is Apples to Oranges when you think that Diebler is a 2/3 and Calathes is 1/2... | |
