Rudy is having a horrible shooting year, but is rebounding very well

The "horrible shooting" has become the norm for him. He just isn't a very good player.

 

[Kurt]

Kemba in alot of pain after running into MWP.

 

[BoatShow]

Artest is a menace.

it has become painful to watch Rudy play at this point. when you see the type of player that Paul George is becoming at his age, that is what Rudy was supposed to be, instead he's backsliding at the point when he should be in his prime. Emeka, BG, CV, and Rudy were supposed to be the next wave of guys that kept the UConn NBA rep propped up, instead they all started off well and have faded at relatively young ages.

 

[James]

Kemba Walker vs. Knicks - 25 Points, 5 Reb, 6 assists, 1 steal, W. another magical performance in msg, he should just live there.

I give Emeka a pass because of injuries, but the other three just completely fell off a cliff once they got paid.

Kemba big shot to ice the game vs. the Knicks

OKC on ESPN @ 9:30, on Sunday Lamb played 25 + minutes even with Westbrook making his return, that was nice to see

Where are you seeing that? The ESPN boxscore shows that he played only 16 minutes ... 4 less than that turd Fisher.

yea I was mistaken, I remember reading the CBS boxscore right after the game and seeing that he played 27 min, which seemed odd considering Fisher closed out that game next to Westbrook. Fisher actually played well but still, Lamb was playin well up to that point, had made back to back shots, one on a jumper and another on a floater, was playin well on D, and then got pulled fo Fish. Lamb will make his mistakes but Brooks should be getting him used to playing with Durant and Westbrook more in game situations insteaad of always having him run with Jackson.

 

[Walker11]

Jeremy 13 points on 7 shots, 3-5 from 3, one beautiful floater. He is still one of the smoothest around, even on the NBA level.

 

[aceboon]

Lamb has also made some great passes to the bigs(Collison/Ibaka), setting them up off of either traps or PnRs.

 

[UConn990411]

So Lamb's playing the best game of hid career. Brooks elects to finish the game with Thabo and Fisher.

I really dislike him as a coach.

 

[3rdbass]

Lamb with 20 minutes today. Why is D.Fisher getting more minutes than R. Jackson? D. Fisher sucks now. Play the young guys now as it will pay off in the postseason. Glad J. Lamb is getting playtime including out their with Durant and Westbrook in the the 4th Qtr.

Jackson had a hip contusion, I was also wondering why Fish was getting all of the backup PG minutes in the 2nd half until I seen Jackson was out on twitter

Ok well that makes more sense. Still rather see J Lamb stay in there than D. Fisher especially since the game was already won.

Kemba big shot to ice the game vs. the Knicks

Kenyon Martin Javelle McGee support group signups.

Kemba was off tonight with his shot really favoring his shoulder. Still handed out 7 assists in ANOTHER BOBCATS W

 

[James]

Walker plays tonight on nbatv vs the Knicks @ Charlotte. Felton probably got no sleep last night

Emeka, BG, CV, and Rudy were supposed to be the next wave of guys that kept the UConn NBA rep propped up, instead they all started off well and have faded at relatively young ages.

In fairness, CV was never very athletic, BG isn't a point guard and is too short for the 2 on defense and Rudy never had the handle he needed. Expectations were too high for all of them.

Emeka has been a good pro on mostly bad teams. Injuries have hampered him too. Mek would be considered much better if he were option # 3 or 4 on a great team.

CV started off very well for the Raptors, got traded after they acquired Bargagni(sp) and still played well for Milwaukee before getting that big deal with the Pistons, he's done nothing since. BG won Sixth Man of the Year in his rookie year, 2x averaged 20ppg on a playoff team, then got paid and his production has declined since then while playing on bad teams. Yes both CV and BG are flawed players but they were very productive players early in their careers, with BG contributing heavily on a playoff squad, and then both of their careers fell off a cliff after getting paid.

I don't disagree but as a player gets older, expectations change. BG needed to develop better point skills and improve his D. When he didn't, he slid in value. Scoring isn't enough in the NBA at his pay grade.

Rudy has just never been that good. He isn't a franchise player.

CV has fitness issues. I think its a struggle for him to stay in shape and keep off weight in the offseason. He isn't a physically gifted guy, other than his height. Guys like that have to work much harder and it's a real year round grind. It's tough to not rest and relax in the offseason, but when he does, he balloons.
