How many is Martell Webster getting for his first game back in the city where he played his first five NBA seasons.

"Just the two (comp) tickets I usually get," he said. "These emotions all these people expect me to have, it's not there. I'm over it. It's happened. I'm with my team now."

I told you. Ice cold and calculating. Stinger. Bell.

Not too big on the Stringer nickname for Martell. He seems a good deal goofier than that character. Plus, Stringer was a bit of a bee-yotch.

Nice GT Juice Box.

We sure as hell have a great group of guys, no matter how much they suck at times. Everyone seems to be happy here and are just having fun with the game. Most of them have a sense of humor & clown around, even Rambis, yet they all know when to be professional.

you'd think regrowing cartilage would take him 4-6 games minimum

I hate these late games but at least this one isn't on a work night.

We have a chance. Maybe we'll get to see some rudy fernandez.

Darko vs camby/vanilla gorilla is the matchup of the night.


I think we'd be better off if he was going to limp out there and shoot 3-16 from the floor while not putting too much pressure on our defense. Rudy has been pretty awful lately, but knowing our luck and how much he apparently hates us he will probably shoot 7-9 from downtown, with 4 of those in the last 3 minutes, erasing our lead.
Seriously though, I've got a good gut feeling about tonight. That could just be the original chicken sandwich with cheese from BK talking, though. We'll see.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Please guard Batum and Fernandez tonight. Those 2 can shoot it.

I'm mostly worried about Matthews tonight. He's just one of those guys that seem to thrive against us.

We need Wes, Beas and Love to step up scoring wise, and Webster, Brewer and Flynn to lead the 2nd Unit

With Roy out, we can win this...just gotta play D the entire game.

Rambis is getting his wish about seeing Beas play some D.
