Good write up CB.

I think you may have overcompensated for not wanting to overcompensate too much for recent performances.  House & Big Baby could be up a notch or two and TA, down a bit.  All in all, I agree with the general assessment though.

a couple of other things...what grade do you give Doc?  The team as a whole?  Management?

Pretty good grades for most part.  I do take issue with 2 of them of course you probably spend a lot of time on this site so it probably explains it.

O'Bryant - F... Not sure how you came up with any substance to determine this grade. 

House - D+... Let's just say I couldn't disagree more with this grade and let me add the blowout concept that seems be gathering steam around here has no basis in fact. None.  He's Eddie House he's a great scorer and he's hot and cold.  There is nothing more to it than that.  I realize that doesn't seem 'sexy' enough for some.

Great job, but I've got to add my disagreement with the House grade.  Eddie has been hot and cold, but to say he only shoots well during blowouts isn't 100% accurate as far as I'm concerned.  I think Eddie gets better shots when our other players are hitting and our offense is running crisply; when these other things happen we're usually on our way to a blowout anyway.  Against Miami most of his points came in the 2nd quarter - while we were already up, the game was far from decided.

And besides, maintaining a big lead gives our starters more rest and is one of the most valuable things a bench guy on a veteran team can do in the regular season.  I'd give him a D+ as a backup point and a C+ as a backup 2.
