can anyone find alley-oop stats by team and player for 2012-13? my guess is we have less than 10 alley-oop dunks for the season.

best i could find was a list of dunks made by each bobcat

http://bkref.com/tiny/UeILv
- MKG has most with 41. followed by biz with 32
- biz has missed 8 dunks
- hendo only has 11 dunks all season, which is only one more than sessions and way behind MKG and taylor (27).

well today was the first time I have ever evacuated my house because of a fire etc.

It was weird how little I cared about what I left at the house. Maybe because I truly didn't think the fire would reach my house, but also I realized that most of it is replaceable. We just grabbed the photo albums, birth/marriage certificates and thats about it. Was more stressed about how the insurance company would try and screw me if it did burn down.

Its all safe now and I'm sure I will quickly forget about it.

Interesting day.

funniest part was when we were driving out past the police road blocks and seeing all the residents arguing with Police on why they should be allowed back to their houses.

another funny post from sichting on the off topic board. They were discussing drink driving when he came out with this.

SichtingLives wrote:F8CK those f*cks who are trying to gain off me driving drunk which is my right as a god damn Murcan (thats what people say, right)!!! Next cop who pulls me over drunk. I'm gonna peel a quick 360 and pull his ass over instead. I have a flashlight, therefore I have 10% the authority of a cop. Close enough. I'll walk up to the cruiser and be all " License, registration and proof of insurance, sir." He'll be all "sir, have you been drinking tonight?" And I'll be all "that depends. Is your wife home f**king your brother right now?? bacon bacon pig oink oink pig bacon snort do you understand meeeeeeeee nooooooooow officer bacon ass memphis style ribs????"

That's when I feel the night will turn sour.

you gotta be kidding me. got drunk to see that movie with some mates and we all walked out like we had caught our moms masturbating. not a single **** laugh, and mostly because that russell whoever the **** was an utter waste of **** dialogue.

I'm more with Slam. Not in my top 5 but definitely a really good movie. I watched it again a few months ago and still enjoyed every second. I think Puff Daddy was great in it.

Diddy should have got an Oscar for his role in that movie. He is absolutely hilarious.

Any scene with him and Jonah Hill in it is pure comedy gold.

No houses were lost at all in the end, the fire fighters did an awesome job.

We're on the edge of the bush and this was just a minor bush fire at first, but a strong wind came in and it went nuts.

They have firebreaks and controlled burns etc. and I guess they are doing something right seeing no one was hurt or lost any property.

Hey Slam - you really just deleted the Kanter thread?

An act of censorship to prevent someone from having their feelings hurt for being wrong? :lol:

There was certainly nothing incendiary in there. Just reminded certain folks who mistakenly viewed Kanter as a mediocre bit player (by relying strictly on his past stats) of their own words.

As a fellow Kanter champion (although not to the point of being willing to deal MKG for him), you of all people should have appreciated that.

He merged the thread into the thread it was supposed to be in. :roll:
