Andray had 10 points, 5 boards, and 2 blocks. Not bad. Only 2 points and 0 boards for Party John in 20 minutes. Ouch. Taylor and Fitch look like they want to fight it out for a roster spot.

Nope, this is an intervention. This is the last time you're going to sell someone else's home to fund your crack addiction.

Damn, Ramos played like *****. Hope he brings his game up. I like Blatche's stat line. Wasn't Jarvis Hayes suppose to be playing in this?

He's still hurt ... he probably won't play to much in the summer league from what I read.

Ramos will pick it up...watch!! he wont dissapoint us....

Andray had a nice game for a 2nd rounder....i think he will get some minutes like Al Jefferson of the Celtics did

Well...

I watched the first half, left at halftime (the game started about an hour late).

Blatche impressed me the most. When he was in the game, he was everywhere. He's quick and has a nice little jump shot. His build reminds me a lot of Kwame when he was drafted. He could definitely add some muscle the next couple of years. He's a few inches shorter than Ramos.

Ramos stood out among everyone. The man is huge. But, he was also horrible. He lacked coordination and never seemed to be in the right spot. I hope he seriously improves from what I saw.

Taylor, Fitch, and even Cota all played well, but can they do in the NBA? I don't know.

Jarvis was there, but did not play. He's still injured. He did, however, sit on the bench with the team and even "coached" them up during the game. I saw him talking with Ramos the most.

I got there around 6:30 (Wiz were supposed to start at 7:00) and caught the end of the Suns/Kings game. I got to see Barbosa play for the Suns and Francisco Garcia for the Kings.

Scott Skiles and one of the Maloof brothers walked right past me during the Suns/Kings game. Great stuff.

I should be at the next game on Friday night. I have some pictures, but I'll post them all after the league ends.

Thanks for the update Thito :cheers:

I am psyched about Blatche! I am hoping that he finds a spot in the rotation rather than the USBL Development League.

[GoSkinsGo]

Thanks for the update Thito it is good to hear that Blatche played well.

Please don't tell me John looked as uncoordinated as Murisan or Bol! We don't need another 7+ footer that can't play.

I know this board is full of PJR fans, but he may not be worthy of the love you all are giving him. No rebounds in 20 minutes of play from a man that stands 7'3 is absolutely pathetic. He needs to step it up big time.
