Goddamn. I was yelling at my computer when I saw Billups take that somewhat contested three very late in the game. smh

Lawson played great. JR and Forbes stepped up pretty well, and Melo was clutch as ****.

I seem to remember reading something about early December for Birdman, sometime in Jan for Martin.

End of Nov earliest, more likely mid to late dec.

I have seen some quotes and pieces here and there that he is slightly ahead of schedule, he did a jump test last week and it went well, so I think/hope that the end of November/1st of December prediction holds true.

That was a fun game, the bench was incredible. Lawson played great, gotta love seeing him in there down the stretch like that. When Birdman returns, I have no doubt that we'll have the best bench in the league.

Nene and Harrington did a damn good job defending Gasol in the post, and I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone consistently defend Kobe as well as Afflalo has the last two years. This team can hang with the Lakers.

loved how mchale at halftime said the lakers would make a 16-4 or 14-2 run and put the game away.

how about 16-0. whoops....wrong team.

still have faith despite that indiana loss. rest of the games have been pretty focused and competitive, even missing two+ important bigs.

those guys come back, billups stops sucking, things click....we got a very good chance of going far.

Mchale said LA will put us to "sleep" specifically. The case was we tucked them in :lol:

With Shelden, Harrington and Forbes playing with effort and hustle, team needs to make 110% sure on Bird + K Mart return.

Still early to judge but i got one to throw out there: Do we better off with Harrington and Shelden OR K Mart further ahead ?

Billups should have rested this offseason period! On top of all this turmoil, smart guy like him "Just needed to show his care to the club by burning himself during the summer when good veterans rested and got ready for the season!" He is certainly having a battle with his EGO! But i have a faith in him that he will understand and move on. Now is a very suitable time to put Ty into experiment and give Billups a series of rest.

Bottom line: If Melo believes NY will get him closer to the championship. that is just a cover up for he and her desire to get more attention. With NOH playing so well and hopefully finds a groove in the league, Melo maybe /big one/ wants to stay here.
