Where are the Luv-a-Bulls at??? As painful as they may be to look at, they've given us SOME luck. Some.

I'm ready for some hot Drummond/Monroe on Booker action. This is going to get real graphic real quick.

I like bringing Nene off the bench most nights, but this isn't one of those nights. I would start Nene tonight to prevent us from getting in a hole early.

Beal is playing and starting.... looks like it was just a bruise. Phewww.

[Jay81]

wow.....zero % chance last night that Beal would be starting today. We thought..season over...all star break..etc

[dlts20]

here is what I wrote at morning:


am I the only one who thinks the injury could be overstated? I missed most of the game last night so Im just now hearing of this. Even from what Ive read in articles & post to me it seems more of one of those injuries that just hurt very bad when it happens but you are fine 20min later. Then seeing the video I kinda feel the same. I dont think there is a tear. Maybe a sprain which is bad in itself but I also wouldnt be shocked if he played by Wednesday and maybe even tonight as crazy as it sounds. The knee is weird, kinda like the funny bone.

It can be a nerve thing, very painful, and you can be in shock just because you are so afraid and you know that is a crucial area. Then an hour later you calm way down. The next morning you are still a lil nervous and test it slowly like a grandma. By 3 hours later you are running & jumping like nothing happened. I wouldnt be shocked if he played and if he does play then you can book us a W just for the fact that he was scared to death almost 24hrs prior. He will be so happy and feeling like he got a 2nd chance that he will play great like the NY game and the rest of the team will be happy for him and also play well.

I could be crazy and it could be very bad but I dont see him out more than a week and I wouldnt be shocked if he went tonight. As ususal though, it still doesnt mean that our coach isnt a total idiot. He sucks and his system sucks.

I will now add on that I think Beal will be more focused tonight and take better shots while the team will be pumped and get back to winning like they were before the break. I expect everyone to play hard & well tonight, maybe even Porter & Gortat

Ya think ?

But this is the one we will probably win. Then lose the next one.

1-2 is what I expected over these 3 games.

No.

"We" did not think that.

"We" thought he got hit on the side of his knees and didn't see anything that looked like it was serious other then him not walking off the court. I saw nothing in the slow mo that showed his knee going out of alignment. Not shocked its not more. But happy to hear he isn't even going to miss a game.

Dodged one there Randy. Next time, when you know the game if over and you want to sub out to protect your young often injury core piece. Use a time out. You can't take them home with you.

So you basketball skills guys. Are there some fundamental tricks to teach a player to protect themselves better when screening. Seems there might be some trick to teach a player to protect themselves.

Yeah. One think that has me somewhat interested in still watching even though I have no faith in Randy is that on any given night, we could see Otto get it going. Its been enough games now that it could happen. Could come out of no where and just ... hello.

Or not.

Arm extends, how's that not a charge...

[hands11]

This offense is so God awful to watch.

[queridiculo]

You're out of your damn mind hands, Washington has done a great job moving the ball in the fist quarter.

At least 10 points in the paint that I can recall and 10 assists on 13 makes.

Smh.

[hands11]

Terrible call by the refs. Good position on D by Ves

Ok, Lets see if Nene can lead this Ves, Otto, Temple, Webster line up.

I think this could be good for Ves and Otto

[Ruzious]

Vesely is the single worst player in the NBA.
