Great road win against a tough opponent, the fact we did it without 2 of our starters makes it even more impressive.

Here's a cool video about the making of the new Nike commercial, this team would seriously kick some ass.

Yeah I just seen that vid earlier today, someone posted it on another forum.

I wish I was there lol. 🙁

So I went to the Blazers/Cavs game yesterday and it was quite awesome. I was hoping for some LeBron excitement which I really didn't get with the exception of one awesome play. However, I got to watch all 3 of the Blazer rookies for the 1st time and they were all playing very well. Roy had 19 points, 10 rebounds, 6 steals, and 4 assists. Aldridge had 14 points on 6 for 9 shooting with 3 blocks. Sergio Rodriguez had 9 assists but had about 7 or 8 more set ups that easily could have been additional assists. That came just days after Rodriguez scored 23 on 11 for 14 shooting, 10 assists, 3 steals, and 4 rebounds. I think Dan Dickau needs to stop playing to give Sergio more playing time.

Tis Sweet, Myth. It's that much more satisfying to go to a game when your team plays well and wins. LeBron is obviously not having his best season so far. He doesn't seem nearly as aggressive as he was last year.

If only the one game I had front row seats to wasn't one where the Nets get blown out by 23 points.🙁

Random topic: What do you guys think are the biggest disappointments of the season so far? List a few. (Could be a player, team, etc.)

For a team, I'd have to go with Memphis obviously, because this was a playoff team that could never get past the first round. They got swept like 3 years in a row, and now, they're at the rock bottom of the league. Fratello was fired, and it's only a matter of time before Barone hits the road as well.

As for a player, I'd have to go with Ben Wallace. This guy just got a huge raise and was greeted with wide open arms by the organization and fans alike, and yet, he's barely getting 10 rebounds per game. He came to be the anchor of their defense, but I don't see much of it. He came to be a father figure and a veteran leader, but I don't see that either. He's been invisible this season, and it's only getting worse. Now they say he's having back problems. He's been struggling to fit in with his new team the whole time. He doesn't seem to have that flare or passion anymore. His stats show it; he's not the same player he was a year ago.

Miami Heat

The Kings, espicially considering how well they played last year in the 2nd half of the season, none of that has carried over this year.

Kings easily. I probably overrated them at the start of the season but there is no excuse to why they shouldn't be a .500 team right now. I hope they tank the rest of the season so they can get Oden or Durant. I'm also praying that Bibby will opt out of his remaining two years. I've had enough of his 4 for 16 shooting nights while making the opposing point guard look like Steve Nash.

I'm just happy that the Raptors are playing well and are exicting to watch.

Being a Sixers fan, I won't let that happen. 😛

Go Team Venture

As to your question Respecs

Team:

Heat
Clippers
Bulls

Players:

Ben Wallace
LeBron James
Elton Brand

I would say Cavs rather than James. James is scoring less simply because he is taking less shots (and less free throws due to less shot attempts).

What does everyone think of Pat Riley's leave of absence?

Don't the Cavs have the best record in the East?

Last time I checked they did, but I don't see that lasting all the way to the end of the year.

True, but lately they've losing because of poor play.

Sure, in the Leastern Conference. They are on pace to have a worse record than last year.

Why don't we play the Suns again until March? That is dumb, we play them the first game of the season and don't play them again until March?!?!

Sucks because I would love for us to end their current win streak.

We would need to be at full strength if we were to have a chance at beating the Suns right now. Good news is that Lamar should be back for our next game against the Bobcats and most importantly will be available when we go on our monster road trip. Im pleased with the way we have played without him (and Kwame) but we have definitely missed all the intangibles that he brings. You kinda forget what a great job his does against players like Dirk until he's not there and those players are lighting you up.
