Give Eddie some love

[BigMike]

He played some good D and had that awesome steal last night. And who among us didnt jump up and scream "NO DON'T SHOOT THE THR.... NICE SHOT!" when he went back at it after the erlier air ball!?!?!

From the daily dime:

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT
"I just told him he hits like my grandma."

-- Cats reserve Eduardo Najera, responding to a Kevin Garnett elbow to the face. (Hope a certain abuela isn't as, ahem, wide-ranging as KG is with his blows.)


For me, he has moved up from "Who the F*@$ is THAT" to "A decent enough back up that will have his moments of glory"

It would good to see him on the floor against the "mouth" at the end...I doubt Kevin was expecting that...probably thought he'd have "Doris" to punk...what a surprise for him...LOL

Much props to Eddie "The Machete" Najera! Standing up to the loudmouthed KG earns him significant points in my book.

Big props to Eddie making KG step back and go to the sidelines

Eddie won't have that type of impact on a nightly basis but yeah, I have huge love for him last night.

When we traded for him I didn't expect him to impact even 1 game. That being said, this is all gravy and we should just smile and enjoy it while it lasts...kind of like Eddie plays!

he's a cool guy but sucks at basketball. though defender though

[TheBeagle]

He automatically was entered into my personal Bobcats HOF with that performance last night. Anybody, and unfortunately there aren't many, who stands up to that punkassbitch Garnott and sticks to him like glue and generally gets under his skin is always a favorite of mine. Add in the killshot 3 and the showmanship that followed.....I want an Eddie shirt.

I told ya'll my boy Najera was worth having on the team. On gameday typed that in the Minus/plus thread. Way to prove me right Eddie

Kat...if he does nothing the rest of the season I don't care...punking KG (whom I loathe) was worth it...LOL...

he is playing a lot better than he has been. I hope that he is able to keep up his high energy defensively.
