We all know that many NBA fans and Isiah Thomas critics alike balked at the Knicks' first round pick, Renaldo Balkman (Knicks, F) but lately he has been turning heads thanks to his strong per minute numbers. For every 48 minutes he plays, Balkman is averaging more than 14 points, 13 rebounds with over two steals and two blocks.Against the Raptors on March 18, with David Lee on the shelf and Eddy Curry in foul trouble early, Balkman came off the bench and recorded his third double-double of the season with 15 points, 12 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 32 minutes. Balkman is averaging fewer than 14 minutes per game, but his performances of late have some hoping for more PT.
Tarence Kinsey, SG with Memphis, played the most minutes of his young career on March 20th. He put in 33 mins and scored 10pts, 5 rbs, a steal and 2 assists. Again I hope more PT comes his way.
We here at LOHD wish them the best.

Look at what the Memphis coach said about Kinsey after last night career high 20 point game.
"Tarence should be playing more anyway. We're a little hamstrung as to why we don t play him and that will end after tonight. Period,'' Memphis coach Tony Barone said. "He took the ball and dunked over Kirilenko and we don't have anybody on our team that even tries to do that.''
we sure could have used Kinsey and Plastic man this year.
Fire coach Odom
it amazes me that we have 2 guys in the NBA and a possible to more on there way there and the best we could do was 2 NIT championships. What a Joke our Basketball Coach is to the nation. The two players I am refering to going to the NBA are Tre Kelley and Carlos Powell. He lead his team in New zealand with over 30 points a game this past season and was voted to the allstar team. There is more info on him on wikipedia.com
Odom needs to go!
Tarence Kinsey made his first start in the NBA last night
Congrats
Kinsey is averaging 18.7 points and shooting 51.1 percent in his last three games.
