Bud turned Demarre into a 16 million dollar a year player, and people questioned his ability to groom Tim. An infinitely more skilled player. Boggled my mind why no one wanted to stay patient and put faith in the coach who has given the best basketball this city has seen in decades... but that's just me. Happy Bud is proving us believers right. Bodda-bingo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, baller. Bud, wizard. Let me just expound on that: 64% shooting, 71% from deep, 100% from the stripe, ZERO turnovers. EAF (efficient as fudge). I haven't looked it up, but when was the last time (and/or how often this season) has our SG had back-to-back 20pt/0to nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't realize that Denver and Houston were known for their defensive prowess. Cool that he he at least showed up for a couple games. He's had good flashes in the past, but has always regressed to his norm which is overall poor to below average at best. This time isn't going to be different.

Here's what Baze did against the defensive juggernaut that is Houston: 2-5/0-2/0-0, -12, 2 reb, 4 fouls, 4 pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Nets want him. Bud going to have to give this man a raise, a new position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time isn't going to be different. New York was basically a continuation of college basketball for him, but then again you take college basketball a lot more seriously than I do (I don’t, like at all. It’s fun to look at the stats but if it’s outside of the really serious basketball schools, a lot of it is playground ball compared to the NBA). No, I’m serious. Southern college basketball is the main culprit to this, half of the games down south devolve to street ball by the second half. Here's what I'm meaning: Hardaway Jr continued to take the bad shots he was allowed to take in college in the NBA in New York. He's not taking as many bad shots in Atlanta so far from what I've seen, actually been hesitant to shoot at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To just say he's turned a corner after two games is foolish though. I don't know if he's turned a corner, all I know is his play has improved since he's gotten regular minutes and his non-existent defense now exists. Just ask Bud: "He's doing it with a defensive mindset," Budenholzer added. "He's coming out and doing the stuff he's been doing all year since he got back into the rotation. There's confidence on his part. There's a confidence on our part that the offense would come. His focus is where it needs to be. His focus is on continuing to be great on the defensive end, and now I think he's a little more natural, a little more comfortable. Hopefully you're seeing that manifest itself now on the offensive end of the court." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
