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

Indeed

Traveling, and 2 lost balls…….

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 up reply 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.

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 up reply 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!”
