I did the math
If we win tonight, then we only need 3 straight wins to reach .500

I'll need to see your work

Do you think coaching will play a part here
Carlisle vs. Brown
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 6:10 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Looks to me like Gerald Green
is our permanent starting SG
by ptrck on Nov 18, 2008 6:10 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I have the Bobcats guys
They are talking about the uniforms in quite a bit of detail…it’s riveting, I tell you

We better not
do this “drop-off” thing after another fast start.
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 6:17 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Green probably should've shot the wide open 3
But then again, Dirk scored
by ptrck on Nov 18, 2008 6:18 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Hopefully it'll be a blowout
And some energy can be conserved since they play Houston tomorrow
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 6:18 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm confident
we can beat Houston.
All we need is to play solid for four quarters and hope Yao gets blocked by the rim a couple more times. T-Mac might not play.

OT: Who should I trade Kobe for in my fantasy basketball league?
He’s sucked so far and I don’t think he’ll get better. I’m thinking D-Wade but there are obvious reasons not to. LeBron and CP3 are untouchable, I already got rejected on Stoudemire. Who else?
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 6:23 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Chris Bosh?
I don’t play fantasy basketball, but Bosh usually has good numbers. How about Dwight Howard?
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 6:24 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Howard
kills FT% like Shaq used to. I might look into Bosh though, I need a stud big man.

Gay
My Bryant+Marc Gasol trade for Wade and Chandler got rejected.
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 6:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Marc Gasol
Had one monster game and that’s about it. I have high hopes for that guy, though…he’s solid and can bang around with other big guys. He impressed me against the Magic; he wasn’t letting Dwight Howard push him around in the paint.

Can't even get
the sexy production of Danny Granger cos his owner is a Celtics fan.
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 6:35 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
And naturally
can’t bitch about it since then everyone will know I’m selling low on Kobe.

Damp rebounding like Moses Malone.

No other big to challenge him
Damp should be feasting

They are playing "Come on, Eileen" in the arena
I hate that song

yea pretty good game!
too bad stack wants out when his team is playing pretty good. pretty selfish jumping ship like that, he wants more minutes right? I took a look at possible destinations or prospective trades. What do you think of Harpring for Stack. I mean that trade isnt that risky for both teams. Harpring can provide us with toughness, he’s a basketball player trapped in a football players body or vice-versa? hahaha
by slickd on Nov 18, 2008 6:36 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Harpring
that guy is a solid player. Great system player, nice shooter, tough, plays good D.
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 6:36 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He's all that, but he gets hurt easily too
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 6:37 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
well i think stack does too right?
if stack was smart he’s gonna request for a trade to a possible winner, a team that has a chance to go deep in the playoffs. Both players are not shooting pretty good recently. both have 2 years left. Stack has 1 mil more in the contract so when it expires a little bit more $.
by slickd on Nov 18, 2008 6:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
just imagine
bass and harpring off the bench? thats a physical duo right there. no one can call us soft after that!

Ajinca is freakish looking

Dallas looking good so far
Is Stack dressed today?
by Norsktroll on Nov 18, 2008 6:40 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Has Carlisle fallen in love with small-ball again?
Is that a trend for the Mavs? I read this week teams are rather trying to play bigger (Raptors, Nets, Blazers, even Suns).
by Norsktroll on Nov 18, 2008 6:51 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I see this more as a "breaking in" thing
First Singleton, now Williams. But the lack of Damp (forget about Diop) is questionable.
by ptrck on Nov 18, 2008 6:54 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
time for
the starting lineup to go in again

Wow
Devin’s sinking jumpers for NJ. And NY’s keeping even with Boston so far, unlike that game last season.
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 6:58 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Devin will win MIP this year if he continues to play like this
At least he will be on the short list.
by Norsktroll on Nov 18, 2008 6:59 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
And a three
This guy could win my roto league.
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 7:02 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'll be in great shape
if it becomes a keeper league.
Monta, Granger, Harris, Josh, Deng, Iggy, Lee, Thaddeus Young, Thornton, Millsap, Jefferson, Bass, Westbrook then Fin kicking up the rear. Young guns!
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 7:04 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Granger is a nice pick, he should stuff almost all categories
I wanted him badly for the Blazers or Mavs, but unfortunately he re-signed in Indy.
by Norsktroll on Nov 18, 2008 7:11 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I don't know about you guys, but the game thread seems to have more people comments than last year.
I have witnessed time and time again.

Dirk with the "Ball don't lie" comment, haha
Is he Rasheed now
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 7:00 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Wait til
he pulls out “It was a great game, both teams played hard.”
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 7:01 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That's classic
But I like Rasheed’s CTC quote: “As long as somebody ‘CTC,’ at the end of the day I’m with them,” he said.
Pause, then: “For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check.’”
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 7:05 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
20 points
we haven’t led like this most season.

The hard part is hanging on to the lead
Hopefully they can do it…they can’t act like they’ve won it already

That's when we played
a bunch of scrubs, not just three.
Dirk or Josh could stay on until we put it out of reach (say 20 with five left).
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 7:08 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Put Damp back on
8 rebounds in 9 minutes? The guy is unconscious.

Uh, where's the foul on Damp there?
How is that a blocking foul on him when Okafor went over the back

Seems like
Marquis is finally finding something in Indy.
by jonthefon on Nov 18, 2008 7:28 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Man these Charlotte announcers...
it must suck to call these games…being down 20 points…a big block is a “spark” the Bobcats need…haha
by smt83 on Nov 18, 2008 7:39 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I feel bad for them
They were talking about the uniforms earlier. I guess they’re just trying to look for anything positive.
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 7:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
the ESPN guys would be perfect replacements to call their games
Because no matter who plays, they ALWAYS find a way to sneak in small talk about Kobe, Wade, LeBron, and KG’s “leadership”
by ptrck on Nov 18, 2008 7:42 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, and how clutch KG is.
They must have forgot that he used to play for Minnesota.
I have witnessed time and time again.

I just hope
Followill and Ortegel don’t ever have to resort to talking about uniforms and other useless stuff…that would be a sad day

Big game tomorrow.
by ptrck on Nov 18, 2008 7:46 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

and we all know thats game time for our Dallas Mavericks…HA!

Last year it was the 3rd quarter.
Maybe we should go back to last year’s method.

It doesn't look like they'll blow this lead
The Bobcats don’t have a lot of energy with the exception of Augustin
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 7:49 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He's made a lot of shots,
is that because Kidd is guarding him and he isn’t quick enough?
I have witnessed time and time again.

Haha
I had to laugh at that…Dirk can be a bit slow

I'd like for Josh to score in the 4th
Like he did on Sunday

The Charlotte Announcers Quote...
“You try to figure out what went wrong tonight…and I think the 15 point run to start the first was to hard to overcome” OR…the Bobcats really suck and need to make a bunch of moves this season
by smt83 on Nov 18, 2008 7:55 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, definitely
Either they get rid of May or make him get in shape…unfortunately for them, Okafor is like a semi bust, same with Morrison. The J-Rich acquisition is nice, but that guy is always hurt.
by Marie on Nov 18, 2008 7:56 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
A 15 point run to start the game was hard to overcome.
Really, most runs like that are hard to overcome when you’re not good.

I have noticed that Green plays a lot less minutes than Terry,
so what is the point of starting Green over him then.
I have witnessed time and time again.
by srdmad on Nov 18, 2008 8:02 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Maybe Terry is like the "fake" sixth man, so to speak
Like Manu…coming off the bench with starter’s minutes

What pisses me off:
that when you want more sauce on your McDonald’s sundae for a certain flavour like hot fudge, but don’t get enough of it.
Then next time, you order a sickingly sweet flavour like caramel and you get too much.

T-Mac trained again today, and cancelled his knee MRI
Don’t know if the team can force him

Yao is probably okay
Even though he tweaked the ankle or whatever. It was Artest that I saw limping.

You changed it again, Wes
To “Hey, we won a game,” haha. I like it. I think it’s a great idea to use the quotes that are reflecting the state of the team (and the fans).
