NorthEast mentioned it in another thread, but Kwame badly needs to work on finishing inside. I mean the rest of the team isn't doing great at it at this point, but the last time I remember Kwame making an inside bucket was the first Raptors game.

4-10 on layups right now

Arenas had a nice buzzer beater 3 pointer at the end of the 1st Q.

I noticed in the third quarter that after Philly got an offensive board off of a A.I. miss (where Kwame was just standing there looking at the basket and not boxing out) that EJ called time-out and pulled Kwame.

Could he be getting frustrated with Kwame.

Kwame has no court awareness that is why he constantly can't finish in traffic and gets the ball stolen when posting up.

If we win this game it will be well deserved. There are no easy wins against this team.

Etan can really box out.

On my earlier e-mail. I'm not getting really negative about Kwame but noticing his tendencies. I think he is really talented but just not well schooled in playing team ball. It may take longer than we think.

We need to win a close game. Hope this is the one. Down by 2 at the half. Iverson is 'working' the crowd.

I'm beginning to think the same thing as you with Kwame. I know it's still early in the year, but he still comes off as a bit of a project when he's on the court. He gets stripped a lot, stands around way too much on both sides of the court, and still looks to have the confidence problems that we had hoped would go away this season. I was hoping that he'd come right out of the gates playing well this year, but like you said, it may take even more time with him.

We're playing way too hectic and careless on offense to begin the 4th. With the way we're playing, you'd think we're down by double digits with only a few minutes left in the game. They need to realize we're only down by 6 points with almost an entire quarter to go.

The one time they ran a triangle for him and hit him in the post and he went up fast (before any traffic) it was nice. I think Jazzy is right and that we need to run some isolations for him at least 5 to 7 times a game.

Not feeling good about this one in the fourth quarter. We will see. Someone besides Arenas needs to step up know. Gil is pressing a little.

JJ hit a nice shot to make it 86-82.

Damn the ball is not bouncing our way. Also, Philly hustles like hell.

Jarvis makes a big basket to take it to 5. Misses free throw.
