Dunks and Celebrations

Bill Walker, Brian Scalabrine and Tony Allen are all prominently featured in NBA.com's Top Ten plays of the night. The footage of Scal celebrating Billy's dunk may be my favorite thing from this season. You'll have to wait through a few other highlights to get to the good ones. Enjoy.

TA dunk was nasty good (the old TA?)

Bill Walker dunk was power goodness

Scali move quite bizzare but funny……I am guessing he can’t go much further with that dance as the next part of that dance routine is the Michael Jackson crotch grab and the twirl……and we all know a “ginger sideline twirl” in the NBA is a flagrant foul.

Is it Soup Yet?

Walkers and TA Dunks....

Show how athletic the 2 of them are and how we need them on the floor.

I (never a big Tony Allen fan) admit we do at this time need his speed and quickness on the floor along with Walkers, since we have problems matching up against other teams with quick athletes.

I hope Doc continues to play Walker in the future.

Scal morphing into Michael Jackson, maybe we need to cut back on those minutes..nice to see TA becoming “TA”…if Bill Walker stays or goes is up to him….

Anyone Can Dunk

The two highlights were Pierce’s pass to TA and Chris Paul’s pass to Devin Brown. Those were the real basketball plays.

honestly, I only posted it for Scal’s reaction, that killed me.

When Perk was asked what he thought of Howard winning the gold medal this summer, he responded: "What’s his impression of me after I won a ring?"

I think you mean TA's dunk, not PP's pass

… since the pass was pretty off-the-mark, and TA saved the TO with a great move.

Seriously?......Anyone can dunk?...

I agree that props need to be given to the solid basketball IQ plays, but only a handful of guys in the nba could of completed the play off of pierces pass. No matter how you feel about TA, the play is more than highlight worthy.

I knew Scal had some MJ in him somewhere, unfortunately its not Michael Jordan- but we'll take it.

Very few pros can't dunk...

or have don’t have enough ups and talent to posterize someone. My guess is the number of pros that can’t do those things are less than 1 %.

What I like from last night’s game was the defense that Giddens showed on occasion and his rebounding. If inexperienced players want playing time the best way to get it is playing defense, boxing out, grabbing rebounds and playing within themselves on offense. Giddens is starting to show me some of that.

Which is almost completely the opposite of what Walker showed last night. Bill still has the mentality that he can score his way into the rotation even if it means playing outside the offensive system. He doesn’t get it. He will be gone next year because of that.

Giddens, if he continues playing the way he has, might play himself into another year for the team to look at him.
