No Love for the Tmobile Rookie Challenge around here

Anywho, thought I'd open up a thread for this game. Good luck Demarcus!

DeMarcus + Blake Griffin vs nonexistant Soph frontcourt = total domination. The soph team's chances disappeared with Reke (no offense to the rest of the people on the team)

Kevin McHale apparently worked with the rookies in scoring in the paint. Wonder if DMC picked up any tips

 

[mac]

lol Cousins is gonna get tired running up and down so much

 

[pupsingh]

wowww did u guys see that flying dunk by cousins, i wish he would do that in real games!

 

[nickmcclure]

What a dunk!

He would if he got the ball on the break from Tyreke ... (or was that open with that much space in front of him)

Or if he was active enough on the break to get that far up court

Well either way he'd have to get the ball on the break from Tyreke haha, whoever's fault it would be.

I think if I were in this game my body language would look something like Cousins' -- kinda like what the hell is this garbage?

 

[Vlade4GM]

You mean the garbage that he's fully partaking in?

Exactly. While shuffling up and down the court, standing aroudn, and kind of shrugging and just chucking up his own. This is Wall's element (or really any fo the guards), not his. But he's just sort of got this what the hell might as well thing going.

Wall Cousins combo!

Cousins' game doesn't suit this style of "play". Nobody is going to throw it down low and run a half court set, and it's hard for Cousins to benefit from all the alleyoops and drives to the basket because of his size/athletic ability. But I have a feeling he wants to show he can hit a 3 before the night is over ...

This. DeJuan Blair has 14 points mostly of his own stubbornness. Monroe has actually been pretty good (however that may be determined) so far. Favors, however, has not proven that he should be on an NBA roster tonight.

 

[mac]

Oh my goodness that was a sick pass and finish

 

[ParniValjak]

Is is just me or is this Rookies squad SUPREMELY more talented than the Sophmores?

There is some real franchise player talent on the rookie squad and I am not sure if there is any on Sophmores.

Cousins actually has taken the same number of shots (leads rookies) as Blair.

There is. Goes by the name of Tyreke. Sitting it out for the greater good though.

I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know though.

Is it just me or does Cousins not look like he's having/had much fun

 

[Nighthawk1]

might be out to prove a point - dont know..

 

[1Havoc3]

So far he has 22 and 9

 

[=LarryLegend=]

So far he has 22 and 9

and 3 stls

 

[est.1999]

Cousins has 22 and 9? Is that tops?

 

[=LarryLegend=]

i keep voting for Cuz.

he is tied with 28pts with Blair.

 

[rainmaker]

We seriously might get back to back mvp's.

Doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure the ignorant masses will vote for Blake despite the fact h's sat out most of the game. Or Wall (which I could understand)
