I agree with Josh and Biran.

I miss Leon.

Shelden seems like a nice guy and looks, in spite of his neanderthal forhead, like a competent backup but as soon as I saw him last night in street clothes, I wished Powe were sitting on the back of our bench instead of theirs.

the line up with marquis at point looked really solid too – leading to easy post up opportunities for ray and size advantage on D

i also miss leon. did you see him and lebron laughing it up early in the game over on the bench? it hurt… i know we’d be missing him for the first few weeks/months and there is no guarantee of the a full recovery, but all things considered i’d rather have kept powe than signed williams.

What I liked about Daniels was that he didn’t try anything fancy against LBJ. Just stayed in front of him, giving him room to shoot from the perimeter. That’s all you can do. I expect LBJ to post up more if the C’s use Daniels that way next time.

I didn’t think Daniels could guard Lebron, he is not quick or big enough. Perk looked like he was dominated by Shaq until they stop feeding him the ball. I would trade Shelden Williams for Candace Parker, at least she won’t drop the ball like POB. I do miss Leon, he could have drawn a few charges on Varehack.

I love how Anthony Parker forced himself into bad position and threw up prayers. I counted there were at least 4-5 jumpers where he turned himself away from the basket while attempting the shot. I think he made 2 or 3 of them. His prayers are worse than Ben Gordon as he puts himself in that position, at least Ben Gordon just shoots over triple teams
