If somebody wants to make a “quick observations” fanpost after the game I’ll front page it.

Tivo is as valuabe as the cell phone. Technology rules.
Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture

Still haven't found out if the new guys will get to play
I don’t have a pre-game show. Anyone know?

Don't think they will
Trade occurred yesterday?

That's what I thought, too
They have to pass the physicals and everything. Hey, did you find a live stream link?

I like it when the Game Day photo doesn’t show faces, only jerseys.

Kidd wasn't stepping on the line there
Though it looked like he did…maybe I just assume all the time that he’s stepping on it

Hahaha, Kidd
Great pass, but what do you expect Dirk to do there…alley-oop? I’ve never seen Dirk alley-oop!

Did Kidd really think Dirk can get that and score in one motion?
He’s not really the alley oop type anymore.
by ptrck on Dec 11, 2008 7:55 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, he can barely hit layups
Sorry, Dirk

Surprising stat at the end of the 1st
JJB leads the team in rebounds

Hah
his temporary Iverson imitation (scoring in bunches, undersized SG, overdribbling) has become a Kidd imitation.
JJB triple-double: you heard it here first.
by jonthefon on Dec 11, 2008 8:05 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Right now he is scoreless
He just got his 5th board and has three assists

Too many jumpshots, I think
They’re kind of flat, tired…the bench guys have more energy, like Wright and Bass, though JJB doesn’t look like he’s tired. We have four turnovers compared to the Bobcats’ one.

I remember guys like Screamin’ A. Smith going off about how the Magic picked the wrong guy, choosing an untested kid over an experienced college player.
