Re: Player Expectations
here's what i want. j-rich continues his yearly climbing of ppg and goes for about 25-27 points per game with major games against the good teams perhaps a 50 point game or two...him hitting winning shots against dallas again, one against the lakers, and one against denver to knock them out of 8th and propell the warriors to their first playoff appearance in 11 years.
my expectations of when he comes back, his presence and offense will probably push ellis to the bench to a 6th man energy roll, ellis comes in for jackson once he goes to jail, and the backcourt i dreamed of in the early season of baron ellis and j-rich will finally come to fruitition. j-rich i expect to play about 20-25 min per game for perhaps 5 or so games, then fill into a good 30-35 min per game for the rest of the season. i also expect that this off time has given him time to relax his knee. he'll come short of his 23ppg but will have developed a better jumper a little less of a slasher (we have ellis already soit's ok). perhaps around 18ppg i would love. i expect him to be the will of the team, the will that only seems to be apparant in baron so far, so with him we'll win those damn road games...i guess you can say i have a lot of expctation for j-rich, but it's all out of love. he's still my favorite player and that won't waiver unless sometihng drastic happens.
speaking of which, if j-rich is coming back the game after all star break, and baron looks like he'll e sitting until after the all star break, i hope they both come back fresh and ready to eff whichever sad sack gets to play us that game! and the rest of the teams that play us also!!!
