so I ran into todd macculloch at half time, i had seen him sitting down at the scorers table but didnt recognize him, why? because the dude has gained like 200lbs!

I mean the guy is HUGE...I remember seeing him in 99 or so, when we played the 6ers in the playoffs, but man...I just cannot believe how big he's gotten in 4 years...

I feel bad for him because of that illness he came down with...he still walks gimpy and everything...

sad business...

btw, we suck at basketball but luck into wins, YAY!!!

Opposing teams starting point guard stats the last two games:

16- 25 from the field..44 points.
5 rebounds
19 assists
4 turnovers

anyone want to put any thought in starting dooling for defensive reasons?

Magic win and Raptors lose. Yay.

Those flannel-shirted, "eh"-spewing imbeciles fail to realize that Dwight is not a power forward and while Bosh can shoot jumpers while Dwight has to come out playing out of position, Dwight completely makes Bosh look like a skinny little sissy in the post. Hedo was lighting Bosh up in the first game when the giraffe was forced to guard him. Bosh can't stop a perimeter player either.

Great victory as we controlled from the get-go. SVG had to wake the guys up a few times.
Still think we have the worst trainer in the league as Jameer waited a while to be treated.
No Fat Guy again (been absent for a few weeks). Sweater Vest guy with the classic red.

Figured Iggy would have a bounce back game. Didn't see Andre scoring that much be he played well.

We were making it rain from downtown and Hedo put on his Mr. 4th Quarter hat and started making the Sixers cry with his shooting.
Loved the Dwight Superman posters given out tonight as I'm sure in 3 weeks he'll be annoyed by the Superman music.

Keyon was big off the bench and he had a nasty breakaway dunk (filthy).
Dwight, 1 dunk shy of 200.

Marcin The Warlock Gortat got to give 2 t-shirts to little kids tonight during the launch.

DeVos and Otis at their normal places.
Great crowd atmosphere as it's been a while since I heard the building get damn loud.

Our dancers finally found their dunking touch as I swear, Megan is pulling out a new dunk every get-go (got mad air tonight).
Need to get a win Sunday vs. the Kings.

Mo didn't really get many shot attempts, but as always he was hustling his a** off.
Kebo got a few 3s, hesitated on some.

Mo got CHEWED out after the end of the 3rd...remember when he got blocked on that dunk attempt? SVG, Ewing and Clifford all told him to pump fake it the next time it was that close...well end of the 3rd and he gets the ball with 3 seconds left and he took it up and just decided to shoot it...SVG was PISSSSSSED...he was chewing that kids ear off...i heard him say something like "whats your problem? you got something else going on tonight that were interrupting? or do you just choose not to listen to me?"

i was like EEK i felt bad for him...but they made up when he got pulled in the 4th...

Why do Toronto fans always come in like they are the masters of class? It's freakin hilarious.

I ain't no raptors fan, but I am a Canadian and I don't appreciate racist sh*t like that.

i think you should learn the difference between racism and retardation before you go throwing around the term, making yourself appear to be grouped with the ladder...i can tell you a little bit about racism if you have a few weeks...

That is an extremely idiotic statement. A player with zero skills doesn't average 22 pts and 14 rebounds..... stop hating.

It's racial stereotyping plain and simple. Since you appear to be an expert on racism why don't you tell me the difference.

well if you arent one.. a lot of rap fans come in and say the same crap about class lol.. what he said was idiotic but dont lump all of us into that.. just him

OK so maybe Canadian isn't a race, but you know what I mean. The poster is dissing a whole country by bringing up stupid stereotypes and he's calling us imbeciles.
