How's this for a FACIAL on Ostertag????? What a dunk!!
Back to back impressive road wins vs. Phoenix and Utah have me believing in this team again. Especially Robert Swift, who I admit, I thought was a TOTAL bust w/ the #12 pick. He still needs to prove himself, but stats like this are all you really need: 12 rebs, 2 blocks, 6 points vs. Utah. We don't need another scorer, just someone to fill the lane vs. our opponent. Let Rashard and Ray-Ray fill those rolls.
Also impressive has been Luke Ridnour. Has he finally found his golden touch? Maybe Hill has been working on his jump shot, which has been lights out these last 2 games. With all these changes to the line-up, it's easy to forget the Nick Collison's and Reggie Evans of the world. Evans wants out, and Collison's minutes have been reduced. I really like Collison, however, he's not a PF at 6-9 (which he played C @ Kansas and flourished). Unless he starts really hitting the weights, he's destined to be a role player who gets 15 minutes a night.
