Ryan Hollins Watch #2

So, I now have access to a Tivo thanks to my roommate. I apparently need more instructions on how to use it. I set it to record tonight's Lakers/Clippers game, and it says it recorded it, but for some reason will only play 24 minutes of "The Association," even though it says it's playing the game. There is a replay on tomorrow morning, and I may or may not get around to actual analysis, since it's preseason and I work so damn much, I can't imagine getting around to recapping it before it becomes irrelevant. Their final game is tomorrow against my beloved Denver Nuggets, so I will try this all over again. I can't wait to see Ryan Hollins "Mozgov" Timothy Mozgov. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look here.

At any rate...some notes without seeing the game.

Clippers win 97-91 and Eric Bledsoe is in beast mode...BUT, it is preseason.

Hollins gets a nod in the SI recap: "Former UCLA player Ryan Hollins made consecutive baskets, extending the Clippers' lead to 95-88."

Common and Terrell Owens were in attendance to watch Hollins rack up 5 fouls in just 25 minutes of work.

Ryan Hollins, C	26	4-7	0-0	3-3	2	3	5	2	1	0	0	5	+17	11

Hollins goes for 11 and 5 in 26 minutes...and has a decent +/- of +17. Good show old man.

Lakers blogs apparently share my love for Hollins:

Lakers Nation ‏@LakersNation

"Ryan Hollins has dunked it twice. Time to go home. The world is ending. Say goodbye to your mother."

Some other twitter gems regarding #15:

Silver Screen & Roll ‏@LakersBlog_SSR

Ryan Hollins "arguably the best pick and roll center defensively in the league." This is too funny

Zach Harper ‏@talkhoops

I love Ralph Lawler. I really do. But he can't go around saying Ryan Hollins is a really good player.

Darius Soriano ‏@forumbluegold

Oh man, Don MacLean. Did you just call Ryan Hollins a good player?

Finally, he doesn't even play for Boston anymore, and they are still clowning on him:
