Game #28: vs. New Jersey 

Post#1 » by APerna » Wed Dec 24, 2008 12:12 am

Grang33r signed up for this game, but I'm assuming he can't fulfill the commitment. That's fine, so here's tonight's bland thread. Should you posting something better Grang, no worries...I'll merge the two.

Let's Go Pacers.

Danny is going to give it a go, but Troy and Marquis are out.

Merry Christmas...

wow.... i totally forgot i had this game. I worked late, took a nap and just woke up for the tip off. I'm really dropping the ball on these game threads. Sorry guys.

Rush looks good early, but Hibbert looks as bad as ever.

Vince Carter is dominating us....

Btw, out of the 3 guys who missed games with that virus, only Granger is playing. Murphy and Daniels are not.

Carter hits another 3-pointer, now has 16 points. 22-16 Nets.

Vince always cooks us. What does he go for tonight? 40? 50?

What I hate, is he makes 5 shots in a row - then we leave him WIDE OPEN for another 3...its a joke.

I love watching TJ Ford. What a pass to Graham.

Nice to see Granger playing. Hopefully he gets better and can put back the lost weight. Murhpy lost 20 pounds :eek2: Hopefully he is back soon and noone else gets this vicious virus.

Granger for 3! Tie game. Besides VC, the Nets look like a complete and utter joke.

Did you read about Murphy's weight loss somewhere?

McRoberts is really becoming good. I am a die hard UNC fan, but I like this guy. I hope we resign him.

Hibbert comes in for like 3 seconds, then picks up a foul and now back to the bench.... lol

Why does Obie sub out Hibbert when he gets in foul trouble? Its not like Hibbert ever plays at the end anyway.

Yeah, he's showing a lot of potential. I think he's still raw and am very impressed with what he can do with the limited experience that he has. He works hard. Plays hard. Local kid. It'd be a shame if Larry Bird didn't re-sign him.

Oboy... TJ Ford injuries his back covering Harris on that last drive by the Nets.

Exactly, McRoberts is still young. I think he can become a starter in the NBA if he continues to improve to his potential.

TJ was holding his lower back on the possession after he got fouled. He better be ok, the last thing we need is another injury and for it to be our quarterback.
