I honestly don't know who that imposter posing as AI is, but I want to see the real player I remembered.. The one that was in relentless attack mode.

I'm liking this Mavs Spurs game. I love competitive ball...

Man I HATE Finley! He killed my Nuggs in the past time and time again. I remember when he first came to the league and he was being compared to Michael Jordan of all people! :banghead:

The Mavericks have the loudest rims in the league. How many mics do they have on their backboard?

Yeah I remembered he was the only guy his size posting up regularly apart from Jordan.

I'm not sure how much is the team and how much is him, but he's definitely not playing like AI. Most of his shot attempts came off the break or a few broken plays. There were only a handful of times he even looked to attack in a half-court set. It's just....odd.

We had a couple of long droughts where the Wiz went on big runs, and even though AI was on the floor for them he didn't even try and take over. Hell, he hardly even touched the ball. And those are exactly the sort of things I thought AI would help prevent - a guy who CAN create his own shot when the rest of the offense stalls. He looked like Tay or Sheed out there the way he deferred.

Bowen is so dirty. He just grabbed Dirk's hip and pulled him to the floor as he was making his move.

You know your team sucks when Joey Graham leads your team in scoring

3 records broken tonight Vs the Raptors.

LeBron overpasses Mark Price as the Cavs all time steal leader.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas over passes Daugherty as the Cavs all time rebound leader.

And the Cavs break an NBA record of 9 straight double digits wins.

And doing it by an average of 21.5 points! No matter who they play, that's insane...

I don't know what it is either.. In all my years of watching AI ( since his georgetown days) i've not seen him play this tentative.. It just isn't AI..

Suns are really bad defensively.

Has Shaq ever had a mouthguard before? I don't remember him having one.

Well it took Greg Oden all of 18 secs to get his first foul of D12

I marvel at how much you talk about things you don't know. The Cavs did the exact same thing when Z got the franchise rebounding record.
