Arsenalist finds a T.J. Ford interview on Youtube and wants to see Jamario Moon improve his mid-range game. According to NBA Hot Spots Jamario made 41.1 percent of his shots taken between 15 feet and the three-point line last season, which isn't great but was hardly the worst on the team. Comparatively, Bargnani made only 35.7 percent of those shots (ugh) while Bosh made 41.5 percent. Calderon, Parker and Kapono all topped 50 percent from that range. Dino Nation Blog had an interview with Eric Smith last week and follows that up with today's conversation with Paul Jones. Eric thinks Bargnani could have won Rookie of the Year in '07 if he hadn't missed a month with appendicitis and thinks "blogs have opened up a dangerous precedent". (Ed. note: This may the first time I could say that I've been potentially considered dangerous. *Makes gang sign*) Jonesy, on the other hand, likes blogs and reports that a Western Conference assistant told him that the O'Neal acquisition makes the Raptors the third-best team in the East. Cuzoogle worries that the Sixers' signing of Donyell Marshall could come back to haunt the Raptors. Considering that Marshall hasn't shot better than 35 percent on treys in any of the last three seasons and made only 28 percent of those shots last season, I'm not quaking in my Timbs. Sixersoul defends Iguodala's ability to play two-guard. I wasn't aware this was in doubt. Jamaal Magloire signed with the Miami Heat. Cue the people who think the Raptors should have signed him because he's Canadian. Jason Quick of The Oregonian has a lengthy profile on Blazers sixth man Travis Outlaw, who declares that "I shoot jumpers like layups". Conversely, I shoot layups like jumpers. Do you have a degree in Communications or Marketing? Then you might be qualified to be the Mascot Coordinator for the Phoenix Suns Gorilla. Knickerblogger is pretty low-key about the obvious PR value of the Knicks' latest acquisition — Patrick Ewing Jr.. They got him from Houston for Frederic Weis — who might still have Vince Carter's baguette imprinted on his forehead. |
