Got my 5th straight win after dropping the first 3 games of the season.
Beat the Grizzlies. It was a bit annoying he kept fouling me on the fast break, not reach-in fouls but hard fouls because he has really crap transition defense and couldn't stop Rudy Gay or Trevor Ariza getting to the cup. As a result both are injured. I don't know long for but Rudy says 6 days I think and Trevor 11. Not sure how much that is in the league.
And prior to what is probably popular belief I scored less than 50 points in the paint this game. Final score was a win for me 77-63.
I thought I would struggle to score when Rudy joined Trevor on the bench after being fouled hard, but he came back and provided strong inspiration, hitting mid-range jumpers, getting to the rim and rebounding over the bigger Nene and Zach Randolph on the defensive end.
In an inspiring 4th quarter in which he was injured the whole time Rudy scored 8 points and helped me move from a 64-59 five point cushion to 72-63 within three minutes. My sixth man Jordan Farmar came through again with 16 points, 4 boards and 3 assists - he is a sick jump-shooter.
I tried to pick and pop with Bosh, and face-up and get him some jumpers but his shot was off. He finished only 4/15 from the field for 9 points but had 15 boards and 2 massive blocks.
Once again I have to credit my bigs on the glass. They pulled in a ridiculous 47 boards, of which 11 were offensive.
