The way I look at it is this. Michael Lee said that we played our most complete game of the season after the last Pacers game but I felt that not one single person had a good shooting night. Indy has been in a slump and losing to us was the final straw.

They will be so motivated & pumped for this game. They are also a talented team who could all be hot at once but I love our chances if we start the Wall-NY backcourt for the 1st time all year with our big frontcourt and having Howard come off the bench with Kirk hopefully back.

The fact is NY is due for a good shooting night, Wall will make Dray & McGee look a ton better, ,both Howard & Shard should shoot better, and we are equally as motivated as Indy to get our 1st road win. I expect to see Wall starting and our atheletes starting to give teams alot of problems running where Gil & Kirk cant. We will get guys like Dray & McGee alot more easier shots in the uptempo game that they prefer

[dlts20]

I also loved the fact that Whittman played Martin as the backup PG. No one talked about that, not even the journalist but that was a huge part of the game. Hudson has been so suck that its pitiful and we shouldnt keep playing him just because he's a so called real PG because the fact that he isnt any more of a PG then our 2's or 3's and he's probably even worst at it.

His handles arent good enough, he has no vision, and his shot has been way off. If thats the case then just play Martin or Howard as the backup point when Wall or Kirk are hurt, atleast until you get another FA who can really do it. There is a reason why we cut him the 1st time. There was no need to bring him back

I thoroughly expect Andray to solicit a prostitute, get shot, and punch a teammate all in one night.

[God Squad]

Any word on John Wall?

It looked to me that Josh Howard was actually the backup PG. Martin may have been the shortest Wizard on the court, but Howard brought the ball up the court and was tasked to guard T.J. Ford at the end of the 3rd quarter.

[Rafael122]

Yes, Howard was playing point and that's only because Hinrich, or "K-Honey" (that nickname needs to be changed btw) was hurt.

[dlts20]

I did see Howard at the point sometimes so I could be wrong because I actually wasnt watching the game hard at that time because I was doing something else. I also felt that Howard would be the PG in that case but it looked like to me on the 1st couple of possesions that Martin was bringing it up. Then I did see Howard after that. I dont care who it is, just no Hudson

Damn, Im glad you said that because I wouldve never even had known

[dlts20]

NO BS, that early start time freaks me out. Its like the curse lives on. I was so sure that this was going to be the day we win 2 in a row for the 1st time all year, we win a road game for the 1st time all year, and start to look like a very solid team from here on out, but now the start time has me wondering. Its like I cant get 1 game all year just perfect how I want it. We use to suck so bad in early day games.

The only good thing is that team we had was old and this team is young so maybe the young guys will have that energy and play well but we usually look slow, sloppy, and flat in these early games. I think Collinson will try to really set the tone for them so Wall has to do the same for us. Shoot, he's fresh out of College so he should be use to those day games and all the other guys should be eager to get that bad shooting display out there mouths

A female coworker of mine got a few passes. I can't go because I'm not 21.

[GilArenas88]

Did someone call Hinrich "K-Honey''?

[Hoopalotta]

Did someone call Hinrich "K-Honey''?

Yeah, it's been going on for the better part of two weeks. Some idiot discovered it with a typo.

In other news:

MrMichaelLee Flip Saunders is back with the team & will coach vs. IND. His mother, Debbie, remains in intensive care. "She's making progess."

Cue people delicately implying that they wish Flip wasn't back while trying to remain respectful of the medical situation. All the best to Flip's Mom.

In other news, I'm on holiday and staying up til this one's over at 6 AM or whatever it is. The wife is thrilled.
