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.

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.

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.

The fast break
that ended with Dirk's dunk. Niiice...

I know it
But I kept bracing myself for a turnover

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

If they called it consistently
we'd be looking at 50+ turnover games.  Per team.

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

seasons over
we need to trade for devin and diop

by zkmavz on Feb 20, 2008 9:08 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

turn out the lights...
the welcome home party is over..

by bradybob on Feb 20, 2008 9:15 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 reply actions actions   0 recs

Don't freak out just yet..
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.

by Dirkanoid on Feb 20, 2008 9:33 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah I'm overreacting
But I still hate this trade.

by jdees2 on Feb 20, 2008 9:44 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

GEEZ they've only praticed ONCE together
before playing the team with the best record in the West.

I guess knee-jerkers never change.

BTW. Paul dropped 33 and 12 on Harris in Dec.
