slack motherfuckers

some shredding players who aren't doing it this year.

iggy: c'mon this guy shows flashes of being awesome! last night's shot was nice but on too many occasions he disappears. 12-6-1.5stls. i was hoping for something like 15-7-2. dude is gonna be crazy next year but i thought he was going to step up his game in 06. he been coming around, so let's not shit on him too hard just yet. i'm sayin this guy should be an all-star pretty soon. for his name alone...

stro: 9-5-.7 blks. .7!!! last year he averaged a minute less and had 1.5 a game!. everyone and their mom thought this guy would do well this year with yao and t-mac. dude can just roam free and get some weakside steals/blocks/rebounds right? no! as of jan 11, 2006? severe conjunctivitis! and this with yao on crutches. get it together stro. honorary bullshit shoutout goes to lo wright, who just can't play anymore...

korver: this guy was a maniac last year. he started slow in 05/06, then went nuts, now is riding the pine. wtf! last night he had 3 points on 1-6 shooting. 1 air-ball from 3. he's aiming, not shooting these days. him and damon jones need to see 'he got game' and wake the fuck up. i think KK will splode and go crazy again at some point this season, but c'mon man.

j smoove should get his nickname taken away from him. dude had an INSANE last few months last season with 'j-chill' [worst nickname ever] and this year they look shell-shocked. smith gets nice blocks but 9-5 is useless. he's still young, but 13-7 is not out of question. this season! his court vision looks messed up this year, like he's always looking for the 'big' block, but can't isolate or d-up his man 1-1. c'mon dudes let's get it!
