NBA = National Basketball Accounting:
Uber will be an RFA and WASH let it be known they won't pay what it takes. Why lose a good role player to get a rental, a guy you can pick up in free agency? If Uber becomes too expensive, Memf risks losing Dillon and Uber. Griz not in a hurry and need to keep their salary in check.
Translation: Griz wanted Uber, just not at any price. Unsure what the going rate will be, they decided to sit/wait it out and keep a role player they like.
Knick game (post-replay):
- Loved the play where Kemba decided the loose ball was his.
- The play where Vonleh shoves Batum out of the way and scores was pivotal. If an off. foul on Vonleh (er, which it looked like), Knix would be down 4 around the one minute mark. Down 2, they brought it to OT.
- That Hornets court is pretty wild. I like the honeycomb paint. The teal-purple spread is a bit much. Also, those teal sweatsuits are kind of odd.
- Knox had a very good 1st half
- Mud was really feeling it all game.
- Tim was silent
- Zeller kicked ass
- Batum reminded me why I used to say he was the next Grant Hill (apparently including injuries sapping his powers for years). He really kept the ball moving and had some nice passes. And his shot was on.
- Monk had some nice dishes. Also makes some dumb plays. Young.
- Hornets are a team of role players.
But it's not adding up to something greater.
While the Knix went on a big run (20-5 or whatever), Hornytoads were content to launch 3's. Didn't drive. Didn't get FT's (all game). There 3's were clanky; Lamb lost all confidence in his shot. And they rolled over.
