Questions:
Will Kidd run circles around Watson and West?
Can we contain their offense enough so we won't be run over?

Discuss and Go Supes Go!

this ones gonna hurt.

I don't see the Supes winning this one but I hope it is at least a good game to watch. Anyone else think it is a bit weird to have the complete 180 on Luke's playing status? i don't recall seeing a player go from out indefinitely to rest a recurring injury to possibly playing the next day.

I hate Delonte West on the Ball, you guys??? I would like him off the ball,,, i think

Petro looks good. Give him some minutes in the second half.

yeh petro has 5-7 for 10 points. I missed the first half though. Hope he keeps going.

^^^^

yep, petro very active tonight. that spin move off the dribble into the soft hook he pulled out early, not very many guys can knock that down. my only problem is that he seems to rush his shot a litttle, and he fades a little on his jumper. i guess that is two problems. anyway.he has earned some minutes with that first half performance.

what i'd give for a point guard who makes good decisions

petro looks really good. He's got a confindent J, he's hitting them, and that pass he found collison on (was called a foul though) showed great awareness.

He usually can knock down his jumper.

Not a lot of passion out there tonight, although J Petro looked like a guy who wants to play some more.

let him play more. He's better than a lacsadaisical chris wilcox and a player who most certaintly wont be with us next year (thomas)

Missed this game..Why do they have to go on east coast trips at all.
