Spencer’s play is more surprising then Rudy’s play, but he was expected to be pretty good by most experts so it’s nice for us to see that he made the list at all and is therefore exceeding expectations

and Oden Is A Bust threads, but you take the good with the bad…

Except on the nights like he had against Memphis @ home in the home opener where he shut down Rudy Gay. That was really impressive.

When you say the Maloof’s you’re saying the whole family, who actually owns the team, and only Joe and Gavin make public statements. In my 17 years of following the team, this is a very unusual dynamic. But everyone who doesn’t understand this I will try to bridge the gap some, is that unlike Paul Allen, who is one sole voice (and while a Seattleite—he’s really aiming to screw up South Lake Union I might add—more frigging buildings on Aurora??Arghhhh….anyway soapbox moment there) is that the whole family—which is George, Adrienne, Mama Maloof as I call her, Coleen Maloof is her Christian name, and Joe and Gavin. Most people state that Joe & Gavin are the owners because they’re in public, and a lot of fans know who they are. But, and I must stress this, they don’t make decisions based on Joe & Gavin’s input. George, who runs the Palms primarily, and Adrienne who is part of the family but lives in LA with her husband, some kind of doctor whom I don’t really care to know enough about to know his specialty, have just as much input as Mama Maloof (who watches all the games from what I’ve read), and Joe and Gavin whom are usually around the team daily (obviously—although Joe hasn’t been courtside cuz of his knee surgery). The point is that when it was decided to not re-hire Adelman, all 5 of those voices have input, and what not.

Oh, and Blazerholic, great FanPost!

and Sac isn’t an easy team to ambassadize. They’ve got people like pookeyguru over there that like to stir the pot.
