The Post Up: BIG BABY stole the ball!

let’s talk about the weekend

By Sam Rubenstein

Hi. Sam here. Holly had some travelling and computer related problems, so there is no Post Up today. Unfortunate, because it was over the weekend when the Celtics and Pistons had their rematch, where Boston proved they can win in Detroit. The surprising star of the game? BIG BABY! It wasn’t the only game over the weekend, there was LeBron’s big fourth quarter, Wade off the bench, the Nets heating up, Iverson with a big game against his old team, the Wizards hanging in there without Gilbert, Chris Paul taking it to Phoenix, etc.

Anyways, here’s a conveniently located place to discuss everything else that happened over the weekend. There’s only two games on the schedule tonight, so tomorrow Holly can do a more thorough weekend recap and get to those games too.

Talk about a “heavy weight” match up. KG has fed Perk for some time. He is now feeding Big Baby and it’s exciting for C fans. Who will win the tie breaker?

Captain America says:
Chris Paul is now the best PG.

^ dunno if i’d go that far, but if i had to start a franchise today Chris Paul would be my pick. in terms of dominance right now, i might go with Kidd or Nash instead..

I must say I am proud of Sam, I was bracing myself for the obligatory Wire chatter and to my surprise- None. Next I have to say that I feel sorry for Melo. We all knew his numbers were going to take a hit when AI joined the team, but no one expected AI to takeover the team the way he has in the last month or so. This is no longer Melo’s team and Melo might not even make the all star team this year. Sorry dude.

Aaron Brooks to the rest of the Rockets Point Guards: “Have a seat.”

Sam Rubenstein says:
I watched The Wire earlier in the week, so it’s not fresh in my mind. No spoiling, just in case. I also promised a friend I would wait until next Sunday to watch the second episode with him.
Yes, this post was a big tease. Holly is back tomorrow.

Sam, what’s going on? I haven’t heard from you in a while, my friend. Did you talk to Caputo?

Candice says:
Ron, Melo is enjoying AI and doesn’t feel the same way. It’s in his blog http://yardbarker.com/carmeloanthony. How are his number’s down? He is rebounding better and is the 4th scorer in the leauge. The team has had over 30 assists in their game which mean they are sharing.

how about ben wallace making the game winning free throw against sactown then rejecting brad millers attempted game winner? didnt expect that the way hes playin. boylans got his kids playing better, although against some weak teams.

daniel says:

The Cool says:

yeh Blue, co-sign that. brooks had a breakthrough game. Francis, when hes healthy is more likely to contribute at the 1 and 2 than luther head though, because Bonzi is likley to steal all the other time at the 2 and 3 after Tmac and Battier get their 32-37 minutes per night. i smell trade bait for alston and james, even though skip has run the show well for the rockets.
