Right, his performance is almost a mixed blessing as his stock soars. Someone on another forum said Korver trumps Randy. I think Randy is more versatile.

Foye is a little bit more of a slasher, and he can handle the ball a little more.

If Foye can keep doing this for a few more years, then I think they're comparable levels of talent.

Foye hasn't put together a good season yet in his career, though. He looked good when he started for the Clippers, but that was always temporary, as he was an injury fill-in.

Korver is proven and consistent every year. And a good rebounder for his style of play.

What he does on defense, against Batum, is probably more important than his offense, for today's game.

WOW!

You think this is Foyes best showing on a team then, with half a season to go?

Marv is everywhere, I'm loving it. Kanter, deep in the post but does the Frankenstein.

 

[nuraman00]

I'm not sure why, but neither team seems to be able to push the ball. I don't know if it's because of the defense, or of the offense just isn't running hard enough.

 

[nuraman00]

WOW!

Batum with 8 points already.

It's unlikely that Marvin can outscore Batum, but if he can hold him to under 15 and under 5 assists, that's credible job.

LOL.

Back to your other thread, about former Jazz players, the Jazz also give up on a lot of players.

Maynor, Brewer, Koufos. Not saying they were worth holding onto, but there's been a lot of average players also.

 

[Sackataters]

Lets see what Demarre can do now.

 

[Sackataters]

Heavy minutes for Jamal are likely. LIllard might carve him up later.

Errrr, Nolan Smith

The thing with Foye, is that I think coaches have finally been figuring out who he is. His first few years, they tried him at PG.

Then SG.

He's a player who's best at catch-and-shoot, while limiting his drives. He can drive, but if he tries to do it too much, he gets in trouble.

I'd say he's comparable to how he played for the Clippers, especially since he started 48 games because of the Billups injury, last year.

 

[Sackataters]

Kanter, oyyyy, thus the reason why Al is a near necessity.

 

[Sackataters]

Did I just hear Al has 5 assists tonight? That would have to be a record.

 

[Sackataters]

Mixed blessing...having options at the end of the year means the players have options too. Demarre is carving out a niche in the league. He likely will get some money.

 

[nuraman00]

It's looking like this game will be decided by which frontcourt is better.

It would be nice if Favors had a better game than Hickson.

He's nice, is also replaceable. Every year you can find a player like him.

 

[Sackataters]

Is Millsap the most bullied player in the league? There will be blood.

 

[Sackataters]

Things get tight...they go to Al for a bucket.

 

[Sackataters]

Excellent tip in

 

[Sackataters]

Are you going to get THAT from Enes or Derrick?
