8 assists, 1 TO in the second half


But you can't ignore basically the reverse of that in the first half. Can anyone who watched the game say what the problem was? Is Vasquez just a Favresque gunslinger that's going to throw a lot of INTs, or is he making stupid mistakes that can be reduced?

He's a good rebounder but that doesn't make him worth $8m.


Dalembert and Kwame Brown set the new lower market value for defensive centers at $7 million per, Asik may actually be in the ball park of market value at $8 million.

I'm not ignoring it. I'm just recognizing the improvement in the second half. He will tighten up his ball control come Wednesday.

probably some of both with 8 TOs...like i said, a few times he forced passes from the lane when he had a shot

I don't see how you can say that with such certainty. I hope he does, its in his best interests to do so. But, I think for right now, he's still going to have these bi-polar games.

mostly just optimism...also, he averaged 3.1 turnovers per 36 minutes last season.

he's just forcing some passes right now, trying to do to much.

And that could be a by-product of Eric and Rivers not being in there. The offense as a whole has just looked like shite.

But Gravy's play this pre-season has been mind-boggling at times, because i know he can do better.
