Well you see, Blitz, by fouling it stops the clock.

This is a good strategy in basketball, as it allows fans who follow the team religiously to have adequate time to wallow in their misery.

I'm now miserable. Great clock management tonight.

Damn it, Dwight could have at least gotten 40 for the moral victory.

The Magic offense is predictable. Way too predictable.

I'd love to hear a conversation between Andre Miller and Evan Turner.

Jameer sucks when he can't make his shots. because he's not really good at playmaking.

Bad loss. Lewis was bad, Carter was bad, Nelson was bad. Miller was great, Matthews was great. Yuck.

you're right adam you're pretty good about that. and you usually keep it til after the games too my b.

and yes let the trade threads begin, i'm itchin to see what we could do to give up rashard. i'm sick of him already! we are going NOWHERE with rashard at the power foward. NOWHERE. i'd HAPPILY trade him for some expirings who could combine the 12points & 4 rbs numbers Rashard is pathetically putting up.

That flu hit us at the worst possible time. We were on a 6 game winning streak, playing great basketball, Nelson was killing it, tied for first place in the East, and that bug just devastated us.

4 games in 5 nights, rusty players, tough road trip, more back to backs against quality teams. Are record is in serious trouble, this stretch is brutal.

Sports Illustrated had that exact same scouting report from an NBA scout. They also said Vince was not a guy you could go to consistently. Right on both accounts.

On a side note, how different does Roy look? He looks like a shell of his former self.

Sounds like a broken record. You can say that about any loss.

Yeah, I'm just saying that besides him and Dwight, you need another player who you can count on consistently.


I pray for Melo every night. :D
