NBA week 10 - 2008

[X_box_X]

Detroit with a huge victory over the Bucks. Pistons are looking extremely good.

Turkey gets the win for the Magic over the Bulls.

Charlotte gets the overtime win over the Pacers.

Houston leading GSW
Portland leading Utah
Toronto leading NOH

 

[X_box_X]

Don't know why Yahoo counted Bobby Jackson as beating the buzzer on the qtr buzzer. It wasn't counted, so the Raptors lead by seven, not four.

 

[tonywce23]

West and Paul keeping the Hornets in it with 16 and 12 points respectively, Raptors up by 4 at the half

 

[X_box_X]

Utah lead the Blazers by a couple at the half thanks to a far better second quarter.

GSW are on fire in the fourth against the Rockets, lead by seven.

 

[tonywce23]

Hornets with a 9-3 run to start the third, lead by 2. West on fire with 22 points. Big last quarter by the Warriors, outscored the Rockets 37 to 15 to win 112 to 95

 

[X_box_X]

What a huge finish between the Raptors and Hornets.

Paul misses some crucial free throws. 7/11 is so unlike him. Bloody God damn.

 

[X_box_X]

Why the hell did Paul wait 20 seconds to make the foul on Calderon? You either foul straight away, or let him attempt a shot. Now Calderon hits both free throws to lead by three with five seconds left.

We deserve to lose this game.

Phew OT victory against Chicago.

Nothing flash but continue to do what needs to be done to win.

Thanks Turk btw, 7 TOs but hit the shot when needed.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Are Houston the most disappointing team thus far this year?

 

[tonywce23]

I'd say Chicago would be challenging them for that title. The trouble with Houston is that they can't get McGrady and Ming on the court for extended periods during the season, and those two players when they are available don't receive enough support

You're probably right on Chicago but I'm amazed at McGrady. He seems to be injured all the time. I know some of it is bad luck. No doubt if he was an AFL player he'd play for the Saints. Still Grant Hill was the same and touch wood he's been fantastic this year.

BTW Apparently T-Mac wants out of Houston ...

Would suit the Knicks with that mob of selfish malcontents ...

i read this earlier ago, but i dont think it means much.

Houston, with Luis Scola coming on, won its first back-to-back set and had at least five players in double figures for the second straight game, both without Tracy McGrady. It's giving the team more reason to move McGrady, who is said to have quietly let it be known he's no longer happy in Houston. With the Rockets still in need of a point guard, you could see them working out a package that includes Hinrich and Andres Nocioni.

Chicago?

 

[tonywce23]

Chicago?

That's who I said, and I'd have to say many expected them to reach the playoffs after what they did last year. Obviously they won't now

 

[Biggie]

Chicago?

Without a doubt.

Awful this year, just awful.

Chicago are still every chance to make it. Have played very well post-Skiles.

Chicago will still make the playoffs IMO.

 

[PHX]

Games on Christmas day but not New Years Day.

Bizarre.

 

[tonywce23]

They will need a minor miracle, and frankly can't see it happening. Even if they do make the playoffs they won't make any impact

 

[Borgsta]

Do you realise they are only 4 games out of 6th spot???

2 and a half out of 8th??

In the East???

Seriously it won't require any sort of miracle. They could very easily come 5th.

And not making any impact really won't be much of a change. They have a ton of good role players but no stars and that will never be good enough.

BTW have a good look at this before making outlandish claims in the future.

Hardly outlandish claims, called having an opinion and looking at how they have performed, which is very very ordinary
