Mullens 31/17 was entertaining. Not many players put up a stat line like that this season

Diaw's hot start was definitely a plus. Tyrus Thomas's 9-block game was nice. Mullens actually proving he belonged in the NBA was definitely a relief (I was under the impression he was one of the worst five players in the NBA).

Boris being freed from this nightmare of a team.

Bismack not being a bust but actually fun to watch and a cool kid.

Gerald adding Kobe's dirty old man at the Y moves to his repertoire.

Mullens looking like a poor man's Bargnani and crashing the rim with some nice throw downs.




And of course, Kemba showing that he is clearly our pg of the future.

This idea to turn transform Kemba to DJ White really scares me :o

1. We stun the Knicks as Boris, Hendo, Mully and DJ just can't miss a shot.
2. Bismack's multiple block games at Orlando, Toronto etc.
3. Our unbelievable comeback vs Orlando.
4. The great season Derrick Brown had/his 10/10 game at Boston.
5. We can't miss a shot against Golden State and absolutely blow out the playoffs contender (Jackson).
6. Biz saves the game at Nawlins (would have been higher, if that game wasn't absolutely unwatchable)
7. Kemba Walker's triple double vs Washington.
8. Mullens goes for 31 and 14 at Milwaukee/Hendo scores 29 on Ellis at home.
9. Our first two games - win vs the Bucks and Heat just escaping with a W in our arena.
10. DeSagana "Olajuwon" Diop with the move that was immortalized in Sachmo's signature.
HM: Stephen Jackson with a sequence of banked in three - airball three - 6th foul - technical foul on the opening night.

1. Getting rid of Fatty Diaw

4. Having the best chance to win the third pick
5. Having a guaranteed top 4 pick
6. The season ended
7. Not being able to read 50% of posts because most threads are merged together
8. Biz's long ass arms
9. Larry Brown spilling the beans about MJ's poor hires (I'm looking at you Higgins)
10. Realizing we got rid of Crash right before he began declining in performance

1. Biz being able to stay on the court. On the court he can learn.
2. Biz proving to be the block monster he was projected to be.
3. Biz proving to have more offensive potential than thought.
4. Kemba's playmaking potential
5. Ping pong #'s
6. Mully for a 2nd
7. Jamison saying that he WANTED to come home and mentor our bigs.
8. Kemba becoming the 2nd ever bobcat to record a triple double.
9. Gerald reaffirming his offensive potential.
10. Silas allowing Tyrus to live after having the nerve to get up in the old man's grill. Thanks Paul.

Diaw had a lot of near triple doubles early in the season. The 16-16-8 stands out in my mind.
