Tonight's Theme (in honor of Easter): Bunnies!
Artest ( D ) -- and so maybe Ron is finally waking up and shutting it down too. Very quiet early, but at least in those early moments was helping to keep TMac quiet the other way (the stiff back may have helped too before warming up, who knows). Despite the generally quiet half, that had to be the highlight for Ron. Started to awaken offensively in the third, but unfortunately so did TMac. And when a superstar starts to awaken, that can be a very very bad thing. As in 40pts 10ast 8reb bad thing. And as he got scorched by TMac, Ron started trying to force stuff the other way, helping to throw us out of rhtyhm in the process. Shot a nifty 2-14 in this one with 4 TOs, and while the 7rebs and 5 stls were nice, the matchup with McGrady did not go well. Still played almost the whole game, and of course a lot of those minutes were as a smallball PF. Not sure why.
And you know what? Its real. Straight from the BBC. The bunny who ate Texas.
Reef ( A- ) -- played a nicely active overall game, stepping outside against Yao, and going inside against the Rockets "PFs (by my count one of perhaps two teams (NJ) with a worse rotation there than we have). Looked sporadically energetic and aggressive as well. Fell by the wayside again as it became smallball kiddie corps time again.
NIGHT OF THE LEPUS -- yes indeed, quite possibly the greatest giant killer bunny movie ever made. If you have not seen it, your life has been hollow and empty. And as if a killer bunny movie needed any more attractions, it stars Dr. McCoy in those (obviously) desperate days post-Star Trek series, pre-Star Trek movies.
Miller ( C- ) -- in the early going out there to start I suppose to counter Yao. Let's just say did not work, as Yao ran off 9 of his team's first 11 points. Was more effective later in the game with Yao saddled with foul trouble, but "more effective" is all relative in this case. 4pt 7rebs isn't going to excite anybody, and I doubt he would have notched as many minutes if Justin had not gotten into foul trouble himself. Did come up with a few of his little excuse me blocked shots, and had a couple of the normal passes to Kevin and Cisco on the baseline. Otherwise...
What? You thought I was going to get through this topic and forget about this guy? Silly wabbit!
Martin ( B ) -- started off very aggressive, but not hitting those shots. Warmed up a little in the second period, with most of his points coming off of (clean it should be noted (as opposed to flopped)) aggressive drives and fouls to the hoop. Actually lost some of his second half minutes to the Cisco explosion, and pretty much was sitting on his season averages until he got two late FGs of the "somebody gets to hit a layup" variety, where we needed three, but the Rockets were more than willing to give us the two.
RABBIT OF CAERBANNOG -- arghhhh!!! Run Away! Run Away!
