Patrick O'Bryant scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 block in last night's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. GS won 124-120 at Portland.
POB played 9+ minutes--
Watch NBA Games - Follow the game, scores and stats for NBA matchups.
Troy Murphy, Golden State's center, left the game in the 4th quarter with a broken nose. Patrick may get more playing time in Golden State's next game--
In the article below, coach Don Nelson raves about Patrick's skills.
"O'Bryant is an unbelievable talent," Nelson said. "We haven't seen him much, but he has really good size, skills and length. Right now he doesn't really know what to do in NBA games, but he has touch, great hands, all the fundamentals.
"I think he's going to be a really good player"--
It states- "Nelson ruled out sending O'Bryant to the development league, a possibility O'Bryant had been using as motivation"..... which I think meant to say that Nelson had been using as motivation, not O'Bryant.
Patrick started at center in place of injured Troy Murphy in the Golden State Warriors' preseason game last night against the New Orleans Hornets. POB scored 2 points and had 3 rebounds in 15 minutes of play.
I missed like the first 3 minutes of the game trying to find parking for less than 30 bucks.
I come in and the score is like 4-3 warriors. Needless to say neither team is shooting the ball well. There was no one there. It was almost eerie how quiet it was. I tried to move to a better section, and so I sat down in a completely empty section. The usher was there in 2 seconds to make me show him my ticket. Rediculous.
POB hit a nice baseline jumper from 15 feet and looked smooth.
It struck me during the first quarter how big POB is compared to the NOK line. He has really long arms, for example a guard tried to pickpocket him from behind out by the 3 point line and deflected it away. POB just snaked his arm around and grabbed it back with one hand. He was having a bit of trouble holding position for rebounds, but he did a good job of blocking out so the guards could rebound.
AV- I love the reports on Patrick. Please keep them coming.
I am sure all us Bradley fans want to hear how he's doing, and wish him well. I hope he doesn't get frustrated with his lack of playing time. He's gonna be a star!
From PJ Star sports expert Kirk Wessler in his Jan. 10, 2012 column following 8th loss in a row at Drake-
"Yes, the Braves are better than they were when the season started two months ago. By a light year or two, they??™re better."
And from the PJ Star 4/26/12, Dave Reynolds-
"Fields and Grier both appear to be difference makers. If Bradley continues to add the right players around them, happy days may be ahead for the Braves after a long dry spell."
