Hopefully I'll be able to catch the second half, basketball practice ends at 9pm, which is 3pm ET. Hey, that looks good, I'll be home just in time for the second half, cool.

at home today with nothing to do but watch bobcats. life is good.

dj named #4 warrior of the week on nbatv.

we were all disappointed with the performance on saturday. lets hope the players were even more disappointed and show up today with some swagger.

that being said, we have been pathetic in games played before 7PM in our history. time to turn that steak around.

Well this game could be kind of an indicator whether the win over Bulls can be disregard as a fluke and we can only destroy bad lottery teams or we can consistently beat middle of the pack or worse teams with an upset to better-by-record team here and there.

I want Kwame to do that. The WTF moment on Philly board would be priceless. Plus there is nothing to prevent anybody from rooting for Kwame. Well maybe Nazr, I like him too, but that's not the point.

speaking of nazr... would be nice for him to do something today. he has been awful his first 2 games back.

If Kwame got 15 tonight I'd be happy. 20 I'd be estatic. Would that be a career high?

So do we see a lot more Mexicat or a lot more Brick today?

I'm hoping for some Brickage.

This is an absolutely CRUCIAL game. We should had won one of the last two games, but we choked them away down the stretch. If we don't win this game, suddenly we are back to pretty close to where we were with LB. And if we don't win tonight, then suddenly it looks like the only success we had was against bad teams, and that Silas might had worn out his welcome. This team has not looked at all like a Silas coached team of late, they look like a LB coached team. We got to get this game. I wonder if we don't does MJ start opening up the trade wire again to dump salary....

i think is career high is 30 or 31. he did average double figures at one point in his career.

No, we wont.

Are you freaking serious??????

Slam boy, relax.

I think he don't he meant to offend us like that way. I mean, end of LB era was disaster. At least we had some light at the end of tunnel with Silas. I really expect to win this one.

Stat prediction : Diaw has a good game. I don't give a s**t the stats, but good game.

UPS, Tank, Diop and T2 are inactive today.

UPS still not getting any love from Coach Silas!

UPS defense is HORRIBLE. He is like a black hole on defense than Brick is on offense

at the end of the day, there is only so much silas can do with the talent we have. at best we are a .500 team. no coach in the world is going to get much more than .500 out of this team. silas started 6-2. part of that was a bump from players playing hard for a new coach, part was confidence he brought, part was easy schedule. obviously we werent going to keep up that pace. however, if silas can go .500 for the rest of the season as coach, then i think that is a success.

we werent a 9-19 team as we played under brown and we arent a 6-2 team as we started under silas. somewhere in the middle is where we should be.

our upcoming month of games is brutal. easily the toughest stretch we have all year. expect some loses.

what i wanted from this season was to see some of the young players progress, to see us try for a 7th or 8th seed and to be entertained. silas has given us hope for those 3 things.
