Jose's defensive impact can't be ignored, of course. But Castellanos's spark off the bench was a major catalyst in them pulling away, so he gets the votes, even though he can't even defend himself against a door slamming in his face.

Think somebody like J.J. Reddick, Jamal Crawford or J.R Smith. Impact off the bench even though they can't defend.

I've seen Jamal Crawford and J.R Smith take over games with their offense by not J.J. Reddick yet.

not in the nba but while he was in college he was a dominant player who was almost unstoppable as 90% of the teams offence went through him, like a poor mans pistol pete, with the same dissapointing drop of production when he hit the pros

iwen you have asked for a lot of weekly pain doing this

i do like it especially the game writeup, even though you clearly got it wrong in my game

as you said the seagulls players smacked mine in 4/5 of positions, "the don" was killed by "the devil" rad got owned by vallo, mo got barlas fouled out but xie was the one player that kept me in it, in a 118-114 result which could have gone either way until the last 10 seconds, where one team won 4/5 positions you gotta give the one guy that kept his entire game in the match more than one point

i was a bit skeptical and not sure whether Oliverio deserved full MVP points either... cos its true the guy CAN'T defend!!! hahaha

but he did have an important role and contributed to the win with his scoring outburst and for that reason I guess its a fair call for him to get MVP honours on my count hahah.

though in saying that i dont think he will be getting much more MVP points for the rest of the season...

yeah i watched JJ reddick play in college and he was pretty much unstoppable taking out the scoring title and came close to breaking reocrds, but he done it with his jump shots... pretty much like Adam Morrison.. but in the NBA its a big mans game and if you can't create your own shot then its GG for you my friend... they just put a defensive stopper like a Trevor Ariza or a Raja Bell on you and your pretty much nullified, and since Reddick or Morrison cant play defense, they become liabilities on the court.

To be entirely fair, Xie did play really well. But he only scored 7 points in the 4th, he went quiet. Karahan was your hero in the 4th, scoring 14 points. Something I expected Xie to do.

Duricko scored 11 points in the 4th, which proved to be the difference between the scores.

i even heard one commentator call morrison the worst player in the nba, that is a big call for someone who was a star in college and was drafted very high - in a bad year i admit, i think Aldridge was about the best player that year

2006 draft
1 1Andrea Bargnani F Italy Toronto Raptors Benetton Treviso (Italy) 1985
1 2 LaMarcus Aldridge F United States Chicago Bulls (from New York, traded to Portland)[o][a] Texas So.
1 3 Adam Morrison F United States Charlotte Bobcats Gonzaga Jr.
1 4 Tyrus Thomas F United States Portland Trail Blazers (traded to Chicago)[a] LSU Fr.
1 5 Shelden Williams F United States Atlanta Hawks Duke Sr.
1 6 Brandon Roy* G United States Minnesota Timberwolves (traded to Portland) Washington Sr.
1 7 Randy Foye G United States Boston Celtics (traded to Minnesota via Portland) Villanova Sr.
1 8 Rudy Gay F United States Houston Rockets (traded to Memphis)[c] Connecticut So.
1 9 Patrick O'Bryant C United States Golden State Warriors Bradley So.
1 10 Mouhamed Sene C Senegal Seattle SuperSonics Verviers-Pepinster
1 11 J. J. Redick G United States Orlando Magic Duke Sr.

look at that pile of stinkers, outside aldridge, roy and maybe gay would you really want any of these guys starting on your team

although people have joked that JJ cant guard the hotdog seller, i think he has worked hard and improved to the point that he is just poor, no longer a gaping hole being exploited on every possession, cant say the same for morison

Reddick is one of the best shooters in the NBA, pity he can't do much else.

oden has clearly been a bust so far but he was being very productive last year before he injured himself out for a season by just jumping on the spot

if he can ever get healthy he still can be good, but durant is already probably top 5 in the nba, i am not even sure if i was starting a team tomorrow i wouldn't take him over lebron - heresy i know
