F

spurs got kurt thomas... for brent barry, francisco elson and a 1st rounder... damnit

why the hell would they do this?

I thought elson was pretty decent for them? Well he always seemed to play dirk well I thought. This is a huge hit to us, I was REALLY hoping we would land him somehow.

So what's our next move from here? Please dont say PJ brown, thats worse than herpes IMO. Can the FO really be content with our front line right now? There's no way thats the case.

Watching a bit of the Nets game

Hassell is now on the floor.

I suppose this is the thread....

...where I'm supposed to announce how giddy I am at the first game of the Malik Allen era.

I hope the other guy plays okay too.

I feel like the Mavs are about to get taken out to the woodshed tonight. No reason, I just do.

That was quick

First basket is an alley-oop!

Hornets 'rival report'

Good job by Wes on sticking the knife in 'em about Bass. :)

I suppose they already know how inconsistent he can be, but a surprise none-the-less.

by DitchThePlaybook on Feb 20, 2008 7:21 PM CST reply actions

This is sloppy

both teams.

by Wes Cox on Feb 20, 2008 7:46 PM CST reply actions

The fast break

that ended with Dirk's dunk. Niiice...

by Wes Cox on Feb 20, 2008 7:53 PM CST reply actions

I know it

But I kept bracing myself for a turnover

by Marie on Feb 20, 2008 7:54 PM CST up reply actions

Bobby Jackson

I still haven't forgiven him for all those Kings series back in the day...

by Avery210 on Feb 20, 2008 7:58 PM CST reply actions

Never

by Wes Cox on Feb 20, 2008 7:58 PM CST up reply actions

Palming?

seriously?

by Wes Cox on Feb 20, 2008 7:58 PM CST reply actions

If they called it consistently

we'd be looking at 50+ turnover games. Per team.

by BrodyV on Feb 20, 2008 7:59 PM CST up reply actions

I got a late start finally caught up on the DVR

so far its been pretty sloppy. Im glad league pass has the mavs feed on tonight...

WTF is george starting for?

Where is stack at? Is he hurt still?

So far the offense doesnt seem to be any more efficient than what we are used too... 37 points with 3 min left in the 2nd... ehh.

by Toddy on Feb 20, 2008 8:01 PM CST reply actions

Bass with three fouls

grrr... this only translates into either more minutes for dirk and herpes, or triggers the FO to realize that we have a big hole in our front court.

Oh, and now dirk picked up his 3rd.

by Toddy on Feb 20, 2008 8:06 PM CST reply actions

Dirk is getting a T soon

Frustration is up there the past few minutes

by Avery210 on Feb 20, 2008 8:06 PM CST reply actions

This game is so ugly

by Wes Cox on Feb 20, 2008 8:09 PM CST reply actions

Yup

We've been Bavettaed.

by BrodyV on Feb 20, 2008 8:10 PM CST up reply actions

Kidd

has equaled Devin's assist average. With a quarter and a half to play.

by BrodyV on Feb 20, 2008 8:38 PM CST reply actions

Vicious throwdown by Dirk

Wow

by Marie on Feb 20, 2008 8:42 PM CST reply actions

He's definitely playing with emotion..

If everyone wasnt playing so sloppy he might have 40 already.

by bradybob on Feb 20, 2008 8:47 PM CST up reply actions

yup

he's also pushing the ball up the floor harder on the break than I've seen him recently. And he's been denied 2 or 3 assists from people dropping passes or missing buckets.

by BrodyV on Feb 20, 2008 8:48 PM CST up reply actions

Chris Paul...

that boy good.

by Avery210 on Feb 20, 2008 8:53 PM CST reply actions

the one consolaton that I have

is that I at least have him on my fantasy team.

by BrodyV on Feb 20, 2008 8:55 PM CST up reply actions

What's up with Dirk wetting his hair in this game

by Marie on Feb 20, 2008 8:58 PM CST reply actions

Josh got fouled shooting a 3

No call

by Marie on Feb 20, 2008 9:00 PM CST reply actions

Kidd had some wide open looks

4 behind the arc by my cound, I know he likes making people better, but jeez...

Somebody pull a Tonya Harding on CP3, that dude is on a terror.

by bradybob on Feb 20, 2008 9:01 PM CST reply actions

It's too bad that Josh is having a bad game

Understandable, though, since it's his first game after the injury. How many games did he miss?

by Marie on Feb 20, 2008 9:06 PM CST reply actions

Ryan Smith

I think he just sold me car insurance last week. Either that or he's the reincarnated Loren Meyer back for round two.

by Avery210 on Feb 20, 2008 9:08 PM CST reply actions

seasons over

we need to trade for devin and diop

by zkmavz on Feb 20, 2008 9:08 PM CST reply actions

Agreed

by jdees2 on Feb 20, 2008 9:14 PM CST reply actions

turn out the lights...

the welcome home party is over..

by bradybob on Feb 20, 2008 9:15 PM CST reply actions

I'm glad we got Kidd to upgrade the offense

I'm blown away by the 13 assists put up by the entire team. And wow, that D...

by jdees2 on Feb 20, 2008 9:33 PM CST reply actions

Did anybody think Kidd was gonna jump in like he's been here all season? Maybe he did, but it's never that simple. The Hornets are a very very good team. Not like they would have won this with Harris on the DL. It's not that I'm super optimistic, but I think one game can't tell us anything.
