    I left John Crotty v2.0 off the list because he was actually pretty good in his second incarnation in a Jazz uni. He was playing pretty efficiently as the backup to Stock, but blew out his knee with a couple months left in the season. We finished the season Rusty LaRue as the main backup PG, and that ended up costing the Jazz the 7 seed by a game. Then, instead of the Kings, they would have played the Spurs, who they probably would have beaten. (Here fishy fishy . . .)

    • Per Locke, Steph Curry made 56% of his corner 3's last year.

      • A couple questions on Jefferson's up-and-under move. Did he have that move prior to going to the Timberwolves, or is that all Kevin McHale?

        Its a great move and apparently, it can't really be defended--especially if you have the baby-hook or one-handed push that Jefferson also has. Why do so few NBA players use it?

          He used it some with Boston, but McHale took it to another world. I am not a big B-Ball fan, but I like watching Jefferson's footwork in the paint. Gasol is pretty good too. Outside of those two, it seems to be a forgotten skill in the NBA.

            You've gotta give Boozer credit for great footwork. He didn't have the up and under that Jefferson has, but some great pivot moves. But I still hate his guts.

              I think the main reason is because so few NBA players have a counter move that makes the up-and-under effective. Jefferson couldn't pull it out if he didn't have that quick one handed push. He gets that off so quickly and goes to it so frequently that the defender shades him that way and bites on Al's fake that way.

                Yeah, Dunleavy should pick a house already. He'll be that "AK replacement" we've looking for.

                • I was expecting a very high scoring game tonight. Instead, it's a total brickfest.

                  • Not looking so hot. Looks like a loss might be coming on.

                          • The offense is struuuuugling. And GS's offense is probably even worse, but they're murdering us on the glass and getting a lot more FGA.

                              • CJ is shooting very well. It'll be great to get Memo back so we can have at least 2 scorers on the bench....
