I hope TNT doesn’t show the end of that and cut us off like they did in the Suns game

This does not look good

Oof.

Yeah.

Two starters out against a real good team, and a sluggish start is harsh.

Ah well

The Chris Paul tripe double machine should be starting up any time now

by atthehive on Nov 27, 2008 9:55 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah but...

Triple doubles don’t = wins. If they did, Jason Kidd would be the best player of all time… and if there’s one thing I know about basketball, it’s that Jason Kidd… abuses his wife.

Oh yeah...

And I assume everybody saw that the Hornets hate and have no respect for their coach?

Bill Simmons, I have only one thing to say to you, “SHENANIGANS!”

Love it when these goofs announce for us after watching the Hornets play 0 games.

Haha

I’ve been wishing Byron would give him more minutes. He’s SO much better than Hilton

by atthehive on Nov 27, 2008 10:12 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Word.

And here’s the thing that kills me: Bower and Byron keep saying that they’re trying to build his talent. He’s a world class athlete making millions… and we have to treat him like he’s five? It’s one thing to lose confidence in your shot (see West, David). But just plain “confidence?” In the words of Gob Bluth, “COME ON!”

“talent” in that first sentence should be “confidence”

Considering I was worried about our non-starters...

Hilton and Rasual start out with 11 points on 4-4 shooting, with 4 rebounds between them.

But I can foul and turn the ball over for a lot less money than he’s making… hell, I bet I could even sink FTs better.

Hot is hot. Butler’s playing really well tonight. I like his freakish length and quick feet on D, and his shot has looked good.

When I click out to the front page, and look at “comments,” it’s in the 130’s. Maybe that’s wrong? I didn’t count myself

Nuggets have an 18-14 rebounding edge, and 7-4 with offensive boards.

A couple of those are just Anderson missing and attempting 0 footers over and over right?

Not great, but this is another mediastorm that is already blown out of proportion. AI will sit out until the Pistons start losing.
