Oh me. I am not sure if it is harder to get up for work, or watch these games. The last two have been really painful. I was extremely glad to see Keith Bogans @ESPN" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3746" target="_blank">Keith Bogans in the starting lineup. I am not sure if he will stay there long - but they guy has been busting his ass since he was activated. Bogans pulled in a team high 12 rebounds. This kind of effort deserves to rewarded - and the poor performers deserved to be benched. Speaking of, Juwan Howard came off the bench to score 22 points.
In the end, I thought the difference in this game was Drew Gooden at the end. I really don't think he is ready to be in close game situations. He made two bad decisions, which I think cost us the game. His numbers for the game were good thought, 11 rebounds and three blocks.
Steven Hunter - we'll nothing new. Eighteen minutes, 3 rebounds and another poor performance for a starting center. Can we just try DeClerq or the Big Z for one game? I promise to stop brining it up if Doc does this for me.
