Finally

got into the “live” stream on nba.com. It’s showing as the first quarter though, so I guess it’s behind…

unfortunately

i don’t… thanks anyway though. plus it’s only 3:40 pm over here in Cali so I’m still working while having this run on my computer at the same time hehe

by Mav in Cali on Jul 16, 2008 5:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

oh yeah...

well… keep up the good work!! ;)

Looks like the Artest deal

with Sacramento is creating quite a stir up... especially with what Mike Fisher wrote on how we could get him.

I think though to a degree, looking at both arguments, the Kings are over-valuing Artest more than they should, and we are under-valuing them more so than we should. I think JET could be used in a trade, but also think that getting Garcia wont happen, any deal done will MUST include bass, and we will undoubtedly have to take on Thomas’s contract….

John Thompson

is like the old guy (Cedric the entertainer) in the barber shop

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Green

had a nice put back there.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:43 PM CDT reply actions  

Singleton

really struggling… again… I knew I jinxed him when I posted that article on him being this year’s BB… DANGIT

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:46 PM CDT reply actions  

1-5 fg

1 offensive rebound in 10 min

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

At the half

Dallas is up 46-32

outscores Sacramento 35-11 in the second

Frahm has 9 points, Foster has 6, Rhodes with 5. Green is 1-5 on his shooting,

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:52 PM CDT reply actions  

I like these countdowns they show during halftime

Though I completely disagreed with the best playoff slam dunks of all time. The one they just showed now was top game winners of the season…Dirk’s GW three against Utah was #1.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 5:54 PM CDT reply actions  

That was such an awesome game

wasnt it that one, that sealed us for the playoffs also?

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think so

I could be wrong, but I’m inclined to agree with you. Yes, that was an awesome game…I was totally freaking out at the end.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 5:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

I know!

I lost my voice that night!

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

I need to watch a Mavs game in Dallas

It’s on my will-have-to-do-eventually list.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 5:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah we should do

a mavsmoneyball night this next year

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Anyone

know how the Divisions will be re-worked out west now that OKC has a team?

I cant imagine OKC not being in our division… right?

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:55 PM CDT reply actions  

I thought that

but then we would have more teams out east, than out west and a pacific division with only 3 teams… with the other two having 4

Kamla

Finally saying Shan’s name right.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 5:57 PM CDT reply actions  

Green

with a nice “scoop-to-the-hoop”

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:05 PM CDT reply actions  

You're delayed, I think

Unless Green did two scoops to the hoop…are you watching online? My score is 54-37.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah I was

I had re-winded the Dirk shot earlier and forgot to move the tivo back to live

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

best investement

EVER… Once you watch tv without commercials, its hard to ever watch them with them… so much time wasted with commercials.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I bet

This is why I watch my TV shows online. Even if I get to them a day late, I don’t care, since there is only like one commercial per break online.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Oh yeah

Off topic…Germany won today and Puerto Rico lost, but both are in the quarters. Dirk had 35 in today’s game and no fouls. Germany will play Brazil next and Puerto Rico will play Slovenia.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:07 PM CDT reply actions  

Green is

getting most his points from the FT line… going 6-6… has 10 points

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:11 PM CDT reply actions  

he would do well in Avery's system

cuz with his play being so up and down, he would definitely see his stretches of not playing

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

In the doghouse one game

Getting a lot of minutes the next

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

lol

seriously… he would have a suite in Avery’s dog house… probably occupy what was Devin’s suite for so many years

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

I miss Devin

He didn’t deserve to be in the doghouse that often. Looks like he calls the plays in New Jersey now.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ah

Heat check from Green

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:14 PM CDT reply actions  

Green

18 points, 8 rebounds…

One could live with that on a consistent basis from the sg spot.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah

Key word being “consistent”

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:18 PM CDT up reply actions  

I like Rhodes

He hasn’t been signed, right?

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:19 PM CDT reply actions  

not yet

I was just thinking that… we only have one more slot left.

I was also thinking that McLeod was a bad signing… but I dont think his is guaranteed.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

Is Green guaranteed?

All I remember is that his contract is for one year.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah

he is on the team no matter what this year… unless we release him and continue to pay him

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

Also was thinking

that Terry really has impressed me or stood out like I thought he would

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Wonder if the Kings are tired

Their game vs. Portland went to OT.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:22 PM CDT reply actions  

He is not

I don’t think they want to take any chances with him. I was really impressed by Bayless and this Finnish kid, Koponen.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

Look at Rhodes

With the offensive board

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:27 PM CDT reply actions  

Damn

Rhodes has 9 fouls, but has a double double

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:29 PM CDT reply actions  

we have a

plethora of guys who are 6-8 and have a lot of potential.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:30 PM CDT reply actions  

Jason Thompson

is just standing underneath cleaning up the boards…

Walter Herman/Joaquim noah guy back in

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:31 PM CDT reply actions  

At least they're not having scoring problems in this game

Last night during the Kings/Blazers game they kept stopping due to how the scoreboard is different from what the scorekeepers have…and they were actually doing the math by hand at one point, not even using a calculator. Thankfully it was fixed.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:31 PM CDT reply actions  

gheez

how much time that set them back?

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

Not a lot

Just a few minutes, but it was annoying. They had given one team two points from a pair of free throws, then the refs took the points away, and then gave them back after doing the math.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:33 PM CDT up reply actions  

sow

had pretty good hands on that pass from williams

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:39 PM CDT reply actions  

I thought they were gonna blow that steal

Those guys didn’t quite know what to do there, haha

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:40 PM CDT reply actions  

Low

always seems to have more court vision than Mcleod does… why he doesnt get more PT is kinda surprising…

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:41 PM CDT reply actions  

It sucks

cuz it improves the Hornets next year… but I think his play is a little over-rated. No one gave him a second thought before last year, then had a really good run with the C’s and is now cashing in on it.

I would be really surprised if he has the same type of impact on the Hornets as he did with the C’s. Especially if Peja goes down (likely could, as he is injury prone) and he see’s more minutes, his so-so play will come out. 4 year commitment means he will be 36-ish when that contract is done.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

I personally can't stand the guy since he was with the Heat and the Celtics

But he is solid defensively and does not hesitate to take the big shots when it counts. It does suck that the Hornets improved…I just feel like we’re running in place or something. I don’t know, maybe this whole Kidd trade will work out once the season starts.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

Im still holding

out in hopes that we make another move. I DO think that the way the roster is right now, is the one we head into the season with, but I hope I’m wrong… so we dont have yet another “well, when we have a full training camp, we’ll see what happens” comes out of the FO again.

I wish we would just make a move now, get it right from the get-go this year, and then tweak it if we need to at the trade deadline… not over-haul it.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

he's a king

right now... best thing he can do is be quiet and play… he’ll get paid someday

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

I thought Artest was one of those who was sure to be traded before the deadline last season

Same with Mike Miller…and Mike didn’t get traded until during the draft.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

denver

shouldve done the Artest deal IMO

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

more...

“we have enjoyed having him on the squad, he has been good for the team”

“Its tough for him, cuz of the free market this year, and he wanted to get his share.”

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:47 PM CDT reply actions  

Yay

We won and we’re now 2-2 in summer league. We play the Pistons tomorrow…another early game, 4:30 EST/3:30 CST.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:51 PM CDT reply actions  

holy cow!

do they want ANYONE to watch these games??

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

I know, right

I’ll be at work, so I can only follow along with the live scores.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

I love these old Red Auerbach videos

Where he coaches all kinds of players from different teams, not just the Celtics. You don’t see anything like that anymore. This installment has Pistol Pete.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:53 PM CDT reply actions  

I need to go

practice what pistol pete is teaching here.

by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ha

All point guards should do these drills. I bet there’s a compilation of all of these in Youtube somewhere. Larry Legend and DJ now, shooting free throws.

by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

It was the best

When he had the ball behind his knees and he claps and catches the ball before it hits the ground…crazy.
