what do you expect from a chick named Andrea? such a hoe name

She likes waiting there for the ball to easily come to her

2/19 Just when i thought this guy was breaking out in the Pistons game I see this junk, how was Casey coaching wise this game??

well...Bargnani was still out there in 2OT and Ed was ridiculous productive (15/14) in like 22 minutes...need more?

Just needing confirmation haha I saw a lot of facebook posts saying how Casey ****ed up and I was curious as to how so now it makes sense.

He still doesn't get it Ed Davis is going to be a better version of Chris Bosh if this guy is given the chance to develop properly if you put him on a team like the Bobcats or something they'll let him grow and develop so easily.

Ed's jumper has looked nice this year too but he's only allowed to shoot late in the clock. I don't get it because he really seems like a Casey type of player.

That's why our guys love Andrea so much

I understood the thinking although I agree I thought Ed should have been in there. Bargnani helped spread out the floor for Val and opened up driving lanes for Demar and Lowry. Also Bargs seemed to play some solid D and I couldn't believe how he was rebounding better than Val for most of the game.

I'll tell you why, it's that damn Amir Johnson. It's like were entitled to fall in love with this guy and continually play him over and over. Just because were paying him more than he deserves our team thinks we should just let him play its stupid and the biggest reason why I want him traded.

His jumper is developing nicer and working well, he's worked on his free throw mechanics and has become better there, he's always been a blocker down low and doesn't shy away from contact, is a solid rebounder and active around the rim. Can get double doubles with ease without being considered an option on offense.

How ****ing stupid can you get to not see this?? I hate Casey so damn much its not even funny anymore. I mean I love him cause his defensive mind is what we need but he's so stupid in every other aspect there is. No wonder why the Twolves booted him and no one ever gave him a chance.

you. the league is not that high on bayless

you are trippin son you think i overrate Bayless because i think he can play D lol

I have questioned playing Amir over Ed too. I think they like Amir because he seems quicker and more mobile. He also might be a better shot blocker but I am unsure if stats back that up.

Amir is only like a year older than Ed has been in the league like what 3-4 years longer and look how far advanced Ed is already of him. Ed rebounds better, uses his body more and is stronger, plays more fluently within the offense and in his third year already is developing a better jump shot than Amir.

He still has more room to grow and a higher ceiling than Amir does. I also disagree with your last part, Ed's the better shot blocker based of positioning, better vertical and IQ.

While I understand you are being sarcastic, I actually do agree with some of those points. I think Ed could have a higher ceiling than Amir.

Pardon? Which part was I sarcastic about lol?? I was serious the whole post.


Btw I just saw the highlights and recognized we had that stupid 2 PG system in crunch time again Is he EVER going to learn?? Jeez this is seriously frustrating.

I thought most of it was sarcastic. You claimed that Ed was a better shooter and was more fluid in the offence. I also thought you were joking about Ed having more vertical than Amir. Amir has always looked like he has more hops than Ed.

I am not sure about the IQ part either although Amir is known for making bone-headed plays on D and being forced to foul.

Don't get me wrong, I like the improvements I have seen in Ed and prefer him to get more playing time than Amir but I think you are kidding yourself with some of the things you said about Ed. They might be true in the future but not right now.



Speaking about the two-PG thing. What would you have done as the coach?

personally as a coach, i would put in more defensive players than their are offensive players. lowry-derozan-mcguire-bargnani-jval. 3/5 are good defensively.

bargnani and calderon cannot be on the court together either late in the game when it matters. i really do not think calderon is good down the stretch. actually he's been pretty bad, and part of that being is that late in the game the guy who handles the ball is the PG, so a lot of the times we are seeing opposing PG's just taking it to calderon.
