Or the whine
Devin vs. Jason (sounds like a cheesy horror flick)

I didn't "see" you at the Blazers thread last night
Though I was only there for the first half…Roy totally went off!

I won't mind if Devin schools Kidd
As long as we win

I wouldn't exactly say "school"
because Kidd is (way) older. But I get what you mean.
Oh and we win this game, of course.

I'm glad Kidd didn't get booed
He did a lot for this team

Supposedly he's good in their league
Much like Andrea Bargnani

Dirk has no problems shooting over Yi, but somehow he is still off tonight

I'm not too worried
Dirk has been starting out slow lately, and then heating up in the third and fourth (mostly the third)

Hopefully they will cool off
Though if we’d just play better D, that’ll help too

A guy on Blazer's Edge claims Brook Lopez is the closest (future) thing to Tim Duncan in the league
So far, I have seen nothing that would give me that confidence

Brook Lopez, seriously?

Yeah
And he is serious, and usually has a good basketball knowledge with many facts. But I’m really confused about that one.

I like Robin better than Brook
Neither are Duncan-like to me, however

I'm almost at this point ...
I’m just in hope we can make a comeback, but today, the nets would beat the 95-96 bulls.

The nets are shooting 49% from the floor, and 60% from the 3pt … NO WAY!
