Recommended Posts

tonight is the last night of the free NBA pass

am i the only person watching it?

No, I too have been tuning in. I got to see the Bucks play the other night. Bogut looks to be for real. Redd and Ford, w/ Simmons...Magliore. Wow.

I'm playing at the Blazers' VIP bash tonight. Paul Allen's band plays after us. :crazy:

The Jazz look better, too w/Okur stepping up. Now if AK47 can buy a basket

Just before the season started, I looked up the Warriors' schedule, and almost all their games were listed as being slated for airing on FSN Bay Area (which I get). Well, the last two times I've tuned in to watch, they've been airing Sharks hockey instead. Oh joy. Looks like I won't be following the W's as closely as I'd hoped this year (no, I'm not up for paying for yet another premium sports channel package). :tdownHockey, of all things... why don't they go back on ****ing strike. ^_^

Think how bad it is for those of us living in New England! I was actually hoping to hear the games on KNBR online but for some reason it blacks out the games. :( On the plus side I was very psyched to see the W's beat the Bucks last night -- the first decent team we've beaten, and Baron isn't nearly at 100% yet. Hopefully we will do just as well against the Bulls tonight.

As far as the Pistons beating the Kings -- impressive. Their first few victories were against mediocrities and while this isn't the mighty Sac of yesteryear, it's still an emphatic road victory over a strong team.

ps Flip must be loving his new job!

Hey Guy(s) ;), I'm late with this, but I actually got to see that Bulls game (no Sharks that night, apparently... btw, anybody know any chants or prayers that will prevent hockey games from occuring? :lol: ). That's the good news. The bad news is, the W's (after being in control throughout the first half) couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the 3rd, and didn't shoot much better in the 4th. This Cbarkapa kid is really making the most of his minutes... I can't remember the last time I saw an NBA player put up three air balls in one quarter. :rolleyes: Even Manute Bol would hit something when he put up his bizarre 3-pointers. I don't know why Calbert Chaney didn't get more minutes... maybe it was a match-up thing. Anyway, it became a nailbiter thanks in part to some bad officiating, and the fact that the W's could not stop Kirk Heinrich. :unsure: ... and the fact that they forgot how to shoot. Just to show how desperate the situation was, Fisher banked in a 3 to keep it close in the final minutes, and nobody even cracked a smile.

Knicks again tonight... or will it be hockey... :unsure:

More good news: the fact that the Warriors shot 34% for the game and STILL only lost by 1 point is not bad. Also, when/if Baron actually comes back to full health and Ike comes off the IL, this will be a better team.

Watching the Rockets vs. the Heat while waiting for the Detroit/Phoenix game to start.  I haven't seen the Heat yet this season.

These are the guys that are supposed to win the East?!?

:blink:

Ooookkkay.

Maybe you were hallucinating that Shaq was playing. :)

Guy

I don't care if Shaq wasn't playing. The team I saw last night looked scared and lost out there. I'm blown away that they actually won. Well, no I'm not. Dwayne Wade is the real deal. But the rest of the guys looked pitiful.

Anyone see that hellacious put-back by Big Ben in the 3rd? That was crazy large crazy stupid whack crazy. In that order.

:D

Head high with the rim! Has there ever been a player his size with hops like that? :wacko:

Is Bill Walton the absolute worst announcer in the history of the game? Christ, we're not even out of the 1st quarter and he's already said gems like this:

"The Blazers have a commanding three point lead!" 3 points is considered commanding!??!

"The Blazers are taking it to the Pistons! What is Flip Saunders going to do about this!?" This is when the Pistons were behind by... oh shit... FIVE POINTS!!!!

"I'm not ready to give up on the Pistons yet." Said with 5 minutes left in the first quarter and the Pistons down by 2.

:mellow:

What a frickin' moron.
