Check out the offensive rating rankings at the bottom. Wafer in God-mode :-D

Do I have to activate my league pass account by submiting my comcast account number?


I am pretty sure Vipbox or oleoletv will have it on tonight for those outside Florida.

I expect things to get better in this game and going forward. That Thunder team is certainly no slouch and yet we still had a chance to take that game if our main players actually showed up and at least met their averages.

This game will be a good indicator on whether Dwight has checked out mentally from this team or not. I just cannot see a guy who prides himself on being a hard worker slacking and not giving full effort in front of the Magic crowd. Our energy needs to be up for 48 minutes and we have to take more pride on the defensive end. If we do that, the offense will come. I also want to see Stan use his rotations better and do substitutions within the flow of the game meaning that if guys are hot, then those guys need to stay in until they ask for a breather. The same applies if they are starting cold, etc.

All in all, I'm ready for this team to bounce back and get this win...LET'S GET IT!!! 8-)

By the way, very nice game thread Nem! Gonna add one to your good luck girl total if you don't mind kind sir cause Sara Underwood thinks we will bounce back :wink: ...

Is it true the Rockets will start Jordan Hill, Dwight should have a field day out there. Lets see how he responds.

Hey guys, Rockets fan here just poking around and could not the believe the amount of Von Wafer love on here haha... the sigs the comments :o


I mean he is a decent back up (15-20 min a game) but aren't you guys getting a lil carried away, he goes into this sort of mode when he actually thinks he is better than what he actually is and starts jacking shots... idk maybe he has changed since his time with us.


Anyway good luck on the coming season and the game tonight. Dont sleep on our offense(3rd last season) cant wait to see our new improved Hill, and Dalembert versus D12!

Alright let's bounce back, get to .500. We should beat Houston, if we do what we're supposed to.

Low turnovers, and getting to the rim.

Do you have HD? If you don't, and you're watching an HD channel, it might just have audio only.

I agree. There have been many players in the league that are just offensively minded every time they get their hands on the ball that don't stick with teams. Don't know if that will change with Wafer. Good luck to the Rockets too as I like many players on your team, except against the Magic!

Using the league pass via the internet. All the other games going on right now have the option of "video". Only the magic game is listed as "audio". Must be blacked out since im from Jacksonville, FL?

I know. Annoyed that it's airing on NBA TV--providing their broadcasters more opportunity to concern troll about Dwight.
