andi 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 He's been playing great all season, and completely breaks out of the bull pen in the game against the Warriors. Not only did he all but single handed stop Baron Davis, but he also dropped the anvil on their heads with 22 killer points. 9-12 from the field - 75%! He's a legitimate threat from the field now that opponents will have to respect, again, spreading the floor for Dwight and the rest of the team. And the best bit? TWO BLOCKS! He's our defensive anchor. Keith has ultimately proven his critics wrong. He has deserved the starting role. He has grown into it in ways I couldn't have imagined at the start of the season.

nbr 15 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 Jack will like this. I have always believed, lol. He's been solid though. He's been utilized well and is providing a role we need to a rate of success. Not much more you can ask for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 We have so many weapons. Game plan for Dwight, Shard, and Turk? No sweat. Meer, Bogans, Evans will step up and carry us. WOW. Bogans was important for us tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of John Gabriel 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2007 Bogans has been solid and has had a few exceptional games. That's what good role players provide. I've said it many times, the difference between journeymen and respected role players is often nothing more than the players around them, opportunity, and the confidence it breeds. But, I give Bogans credit for taking advantage of his opportunity. I liked Bogans when we drafted him, still do, but he hasn't shown much consistency previously, and he's had far too many zero impact games. He's becoming more consistent this season and I also like the fact he's picking up his defensive intensity earlier in games with more consistency. That will be the key to Bogans cementing his status on this team and in the league. If Bogans is indeed going to develop into our Bruce Bowen/Raja Bell type player as some have claimed, he needs to start playing with that 4th quarter intensity from the opening tip as those All-NBA defensive team players do. The other difference between these type players and other solid defenders is that they bring their A game vs. Damien Wilkens the same way they bring it vs. Kobe and completely shut those guys down!

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Aside from Dwight, there is nobody on this roster i'm more proud to see improved then Bogans. At first I wasn't sure how he would respond to being a starter, but after tonight he has gained my trust 100%. Our team in general is just playing out of this world IMO. We are never giving up and our bench is looking great this past road trip. Yes ball junkie, it is GREATTTTTTT to be a magic fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhnole 153 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Great game by KeBo! I think a year being benched by Brian might have actually made him hungry and coachable for SVG. Whatever it is he is playing very good in his role. After taking on Kobe and Baron two nights straight, he has pretty much cemented his name as starter.

ball junkie 277 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 There's some guy on the game thread that has created nicknames for all the players. He calls Keith, "Triple Bogey". I love it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
