Balkman's Summer Hoops



Looks like Renaldo Balkman has been getting his game back this summer with a little competitive basketball.  He helped Puerto Rico to a championship at the Central American and Caribbean Games.

This picture is great to see, because most of the time when I think about Balkman I am imagining him lying down in full recline, with his head supported by towels at the baseline of the Pepsi Center Court.

Hopefully Balkman can come into the season with some momentum to energize our ailing frontcourt.

Here are the results from the final game:

Or at least see 10 minutes?

Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Nice

This guy is a real talent, and GK just lets him rot on the bench. He should get 12-15 minutes at least.

Good to see Kool playing so well

I loved Balkman when he got minutes a couple of years ago. I think he’s the type of player we need on this team. Hopefully this will change how George looks at him and he gets more tiem.

I like it

Balkman really hasn’t done anything with the Nuggets. Considering the injuries I imagine he will be playing at the start of the season. He should. If Bird and K-mart can’t go then the last thing I want to see is Karl go back to the 3 man big rotation and just use Nene, Harrington and Williams

Is it just me

or does he have his eyes closed? That would explain Karl benching him – no shooting with your eyes closed!

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
