I have been told my numerous people to give the US version of The Office a chance

I am a devoted fan of the British version…the only bit I’ve seen of the US one is Diversity Day, and we re-enacted that at my old job

I also read over the weekend that Bonzi Wells is now going to play (or is playing) in China

I wanted to include him in a trade that landed Gerald Wallace and Mike Conley in Portland :-(

You guys don't need more guards

Unless you’re still trying to get rid of Sergio…oh yeah, what was up with Blake the other day during that 2OT loss? Were you guys calling for his head on a plate?

"We know we're right there, but 'right there' in this league doesn't get you anywhere." -- Dirk Nowitzki

by Marie on Dec 15, 2008 8:08 PM CST up reply actions  

I didn't, the chance that a 90%+ FT shooter misses 4/5 is really tiny ;-)

But it happened.

Yeah, an idea that comes up repeatedly would be to replace Sergio with Conley. There have been intense talks about a swap of Conley for Outlaw and a piece. But some people on BE still think Sergio is the second coming of Steve Nash or at least Jason Williams.

Nene plays and defends like an All-Star

Better on the ball than even Camby, who is one of the best help-side defenders.

Don't know

Looked like a slight hyperextension. A Jazz player fell down and into his standing leg/pivot foot. But he was able to hobble back to the locker room on his own.

Missed most of the game

Sucks to lose, as usual, especially at home. That 4th quarter was quite the bummer. Lots of missed shots and blown opportunities. The defense was good but they can’t convert on the other end. Oh well.
