Re: Jason Owens' Shaw notes

[CeltsSteve@AOL.com]

<<My turn is tonight, while I can't promise a report as entertaining and 
elucidating as Mr. Owens, I'll try to keep my attenetion on two matchups to 
shed light on still unanswered questions.
  1. Speedy Claxton vs. Palacio/El-Amin. Will Khalid be able to run the 
offense efficiently with a (almost) NBA caliber point guarding him? Will we 
need to bring in Palacio to guard Claxton?
  2. Jumaine Jones vs. Joe Johnson. While we all expect that Johnson can 
score in the NBA, can he defend? While Jones is a reserve (albeit; extremely 
talented) NBA player, he totaly dominated at Shaws last summer. He scored 
inside and out, no one could touch him. I'm very curious to see if Johnson 
and to a lesser extent Brown can slow him down at all and conversely, will 
Johnson look so smooth with Jones guarding him? - JBMetzEA>>



Milt apparently dominated Speedy tonight; 6 TO's for Claxton. El-Amin appears 
to have gotten the best of your boy Pepe Sanchez as well. 

Looks like JJ more than did his part tonight, too. 21 points, 8 boards, 5 
assists and Jumaine Jones was only 3-11 for 11 points. 

By the way, was Kedrick Brown guarding Raja Bell? 

And one last question, it looks like Blount dominated Alvin Jones. I know 
that some on the board wanted the C's to consider Jones. What was your 
opinion of that matchup?
