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

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

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 0 recs
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,

Good to hear
because this first quarter i just watched stunk
by Mav in Cali on Jul 16, 2008 5:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
yeah we should do
a mavsmoneyball night this next year

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 0 recs
Haven't found out anything about that yet
Maybe Memphis will slide over to the East?
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 5:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 5:57 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Okay, did some research
OKC will stay put in the Northwest division.
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
Must be sweet to have tivo
You can skip commercials!
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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.

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 0 recs
Maybe he didn't like sitting out the last game
Playing well tonight
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:13 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
as he should have been
for about 2 years now
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I like Rhodes
He hasn’t been signed, right?
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:19 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
mcleod's contract is non-guaranteed
but singleton’s is guaranteed
by Mav in Cali on Jul 16, 2008 6:28 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
And 1 for Rhodes
Should have dunked it, but it went in, at least.
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:25 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
and he broke that guy down
with the dribble on that move
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Damn
Rhodes has 9 fouls, but has a double double
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:29 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
Jason Thompson
is just standing underneath cleaning up the boards…
Walter Herman/Joaquim noah guy back in

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 0 recs
sow
had pretty good hands on that pass from williams
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:39 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
What do you think of that Posey trade, Toddy?
by Marie on Jul 16, 2008 6:41 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
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.

holy cow!
do they want ANYONE to watch these games??
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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 0 recs
I need to go
practice what pistol pete is teaching here.
by Toddy on Jul 16, 2008 6:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
