Steve Martin just came saying RIM ROCKER for MKGs dunk. I love it.

MKG has made some -- what would you call it? -- very poised plays tonight.

Now that shot MKG just made with his defender playing 10 feet off of him and him actually stepping into his shot and swishing it shows everything I need to see about that young man.

He's out for some days after a knee contusion picked up a couple of games ago.

It's amazing how much Al can be effective when he doesn't shoot over double teams and keeps the ball moving.

The biggest plus outta of this Kemba-less stint is gonna be MKG becoming more aggressive offensively.

Honestly not sure if MKG will have consistent three point range by next season, but the season after if he can get it hes an all star, easily. Hell, he might be an all star next season without it.

Him and Zeller stepping up is very promising.

If he improves as much next year as he has this year, he's winning MIP. Has to.

I'm really enjoying this game. Nuggets making the Hornets look like a top-3 seed. Brian Roberts takes some of the ugliest damn jumpshots I've ever seen.

The Denver announcers just said we haven't made a three? Really? Damn, that makes this lead even more impressive.

Starting 5 is a popularity contest, rest if a coaches vote.

Dell Currys deep laugh is kind of weird.

Just tuning in. We're up 30 but haven't hit a 3? That's kind of amazing.
