Afflalo was a stud in OT.


Hopefully Melo's well enough to play. Gerald Wallace certainly hopes so for the sake of his shot blocking stats.


I haven't cared about the Avalanche or hockey in a decade, but who in the hell is the Avalanche mascot now?




Random girl's going to be picked out of the four with only two games played. Next person, pick a number between one and four.

2 is a good number.

Not to take anything away from Scarlett Johansson, but Nicky Whelan I think should get some future consideration for a game thread.

Stole this pic from the off topic board.

This has L written all over it IMO.

This has L written all over it IMO.

Depends on how Karl and JR react to all this nonsense going on in the background. We need JR.

[MHZ]

Sounds like JR's good to go tonight. It'll be interesting to see how he plays/how much Karl plays him.

[HMFFL]

No Melo tonight.....Grrrr

Beat those Cats.

[SirHuey]

Im really impressed with Affalo..and Billups is lookin awesome

[KAVK]

Afflallo, Oh my good lord mother!!!!1

Damn! Everyone thought J.R will have that breakout season, who would have thought AA gonna bring these efforts to the team???

W is good. I could not watch it, box score looks good. check the DVR laterrrrrrr

[and one]

Damn AA was awsome tonight. He stepped up big time! JR hit his first 3 shots that was nice to see. NENE had a pretty rough night tho. I think its so stupid how kmart got kicked out! but oh wells we won thats all that matters

A starter quality player is backing up a role quality player.

I know now what exactly J.R. is missing... he's missing Arron Afflalo's approach to the game. If J.R. had it, I truly believe he'd be at least at the second tier superstar level aka Chris Bosh, Vince Carter, etc. Too bad he don't.

By the way that turnaround jumpshot off the post by J.R. with at 9:22 mark at fourth quarter was gorgeous. I never fail to wonder why why why in the world he never develops it. He could have a game as complete as Kobe if he develops it. Too bad he don't.

kenny mauer is terrible.

A nice boring win.

Good effort playing without Melo and then K and then Bird, and with Malik Allen sucking every second he's on the court.

Let's hope Melo and Bird can getup for the next game.
