Enemy: Valley of the Suns Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Steve Nash Jennings most significant advantage over Nash, his speed, is nullified largely by his East-West tendencies and inability to finish inside at a high rate. In virtually every other comparison of these two, Nash comes out miles ahead. One of the finest shooters the [...]
Enemy: Red94.net Point Guard Keyon Dooling vs. Kyle Lowry Lowry is a very good defender, specifically, he’s one of the best guards in the league when it comes to taking charges. He’s not altogether very impressive anywhere else on the court, though he can hit open threes when given a look. Pretty much a run [...]
Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 24-27 vs. Houston Rockets (Rick Adelman) 27-25 Date: 2/17/2010 Time: 7:00 PM (CST) TV: FS Wisconsin Matchups Point Guard Brandon Jennings vs. Aaron Brooks Brooks was getting a little bit of buzz as a potential all-star, but that probably had more to do with his team’s surprising record that his all-star [...]
