UCONN Alum NBA Thread

[noeynox]

Small sample, but shooting 49% from the field, too! If Indy decides to get rid of him, I hope somebody realizes how well he's playing.

Any news on Jeff Adrien? With how well he played toward the end of last year, I'd really hate to see nobody pick him up.

The knicks could sure use a PG.

I'm hoping Chicago shows interest in Price after last night. They sure could use another PG with Rose's chronic injuries, and his outside shooting would be a great complement to what Rose/Brooks bring to the table.

What a game from Price. Great keeping tabs on Uconn/ NBA guys on twitter, @Uconn4X. Great stuff.

napier doing work early. quick 6 pts off the bench. end of 1st quarter

Heat need a defensive and rebounding big man in the worst way...Bazz with a nice night so far, 10pts, 5 rebs, for the amount of minutes he's getting he should be getting up at least 6-8 attempts a night. Nothing wrong with knowing the pecking order and keeping the ball moving but he's been a bit too passive to assert himself offensively. Spo going with him and Cole to close it looks like after Chalmers has been acting like a nut again in the 4th.

lamb with 6 in 10 min so far

 

[aceboon]

Scratch that, no Bazz to close it out

 

[Gurleyman]

Lamb is being used in Scott Brooks' classic "Lamp Post Offense" where he just stands on the wing - so boring to watch. Not to be confused with the "Coat Rack Offense" where he stands in the corner.

They're trying to just go at Harden with Lance Thomas, forgetting that he's Lance Thomas.

 

[UconnU]

What is wrong with Bosh? he's the reason they lost. 2 for 17... damn

 

[James]

aj price has a top 15 #nba PER currently through 6 games. 23.6. he should get starters minutes, playing at an extremely high level.

 

[upstater]

#Pacers granted 2nd hardship exception. AJ Price will remain with team for another 10 days. @FOX59

 

[aceboon]

Heat playing the Nets on YES for those who don't want to deal with an illegal stream. Their minutes won't completely intersect but Bazz is going to have his hands full dealing with DWill on the defensive end. 1-1 on a pull up jumper so far.

bazz bangs a three

bazz looking to dump it off instead of laying it up... what a dunk by ennis, great outlet pass by bazz

Had a wide open lay up, it seems like he gets himself in trouble the most by being too unselfish. That was a great look ahead to Ennis tho on the next play.

 

[UConnSwag11]

bazz with those handles!!!!

 

[aceboon]

Bazz just put on a ballhandling show that had the crowd oohing and aahing and then this bum Birdman blows the layup off of a great feed.

 

[aceboon]

Watching this Heat team try to rebound is like watching UConn 2012-2013, I'm sure McRoberts will help but they need bigs other than Bosh in the worst way.

[aceboon]

Yup, and then Birdman bobbled the pass that went right into his hands.

Bazz needs to pull up and nail that 15 footer with KGs back turned and running away tho!

Outlet pass and a nasty double pump finish by Ennis

got'em!!

 

[aceboon]

Bazz has hit 3 end of clock 3s and has 11 pts. A lil too loose with the ball tonight tho.

 

[champs99and04]

It seems like Bazz played well tonight but I cringed when I saw the six turnovers. Were they all careless or was it a case of his teammates not helping him out?
