No kidding.

Maybe Damp risks serious injury while playing hurt. Good thinkin', coach!

Radio

Radio is reporting Diop and George will play.

Makes sense really, they're only being included in the trade because of their expiring contracts. They could both have career ending injuries tonight and the deal would be unaffected.

No reason for NJ to make us sit them, really.

Damn it

Not getting the game on League Pass because there are too many games and not enough channels. It will air after the Hawks/Sixers game.

I feel your pain

I'm losing out on the Rox-Kings too for the same reason. Although I'm not sure I want to watch this team until Bibby & Artest gets traded though.

Dirk bonked in 07. Will he in 08?

You can try www.channelsurfing.net

But it's not working for me...I think the server(s) might be too busy. The games won't load.

Overtime

Since I really want to watch the Mavericks game, this game simply had to go to OT to delay it even more.

Devean George has blocked the Jason Kidd trade!

Yes virgina... there is a santa

I'd like to say...

George is my new favorite player for blocking this nonsense, but I can't see an owner risking so much in the original trade, not replacing him with Eddie Jones and cash. It works out badly no matter what now, even if we stay status quo Devin and Diop know they didn't mean as much to the franchise as they once thought.

WOW

what a crazy day to to be swamped at work....

first off... i hated this trade... but i talked myself into it after i became pretty confident that we would get stack back.... so of course after i talk myself into a trade that i dont like...

devean george uses his no trade clause... you gotta be kidding me...

i cant decide now whether to love george or be pissed that a player so crappy (0-11 tonight) has a no trade clause...

all in all... right now i am happy... still would like to trade george somewhere

nice win tonight!
