    FWIW, Sacre currently has a +2 rating per game when he's on the court. That's despite the fact that he's playing on a horrible team with only 5 wins.

    Tonight, at halftime against Boston, he has +9 rating in only 10 minutes on the floor.

    +/- isn't a perfect stat, but on a bad team, it can tell you why a coach might play a certain player more than others.

    Hopefully by tomorrow evening he'll be with the starting lineup and really show us what he can do when paired with the starters and Hill in the frontcourt.

    Byron Scott was about to take Boozer out for Ed Davis in the final 6 minutes of the game. I have no problem with this. Anyway, it didn't happen though because Davis said that he doesn't think Byron should do that. He thought that the lineup had a good rhythm going and didn't want to disturb it. We won.

    Ultimate teammate. He doesn't mind sitting if he thinks it's better for the team.

    Bonner and Diaw are tough match ups for him. He's not great laterally and those guys space the floor well.

    Bad news, time for Ed to break out the Mamba mask I guess. Nate and the Nuggets started to break out the hard fouls today. We should have got whoever we are trading to take one for the team and smack him into a suit and tie on the bench.

    The Nate Robinson foul that he subsequently got ejected after should've been a flagrant. He pretty much punched Ed in the face.

    Yeah the little man took a hard foul like it was a playoff game. Bad move and it deserves at the very least a fine. I doubt he'll get one though.

    Hopefully Ed is alright and cleared to play on Friday.

    I 'm sure he said something about the DWade episode. Hell Nash played with his nose hanging off his face.

    I agree but I just see keeping track of that would be way too subjective.

    We need to make it a priority to sign him in the off-season...

    He's already one of those guys talking about taking the protective mask off if "he's missing shots" (uncomfortable ?) YIKES. Saw him talking about it on TV today. The thought of guys with already busted beaks playing without some kind of protection gives ME the willies.
