NBA week 5

God the Mavs were frustrating today.

In what way? A few said this about the game. Ill watch it on monday

 

[peternorth]

watched second half of the game.

lakers just stepped up on D and went nuts, a few good runs and dallas started to miss their shots. terry was amazing in the last Q.

again it was ariza who was a spark. a few put backs and D. i knew the lakers wouldnt lose when bynum blocked a 3 attempt on the wing (by wright i think).

kidd hit some nice shots, barea did a bit too.

however, i do worry that we conceeded a lot of points to a team without howard!

 

[eathb]

i love the Nuggets dancers

 

[Borgsta]

Do you think anyone in the GSW vs NY game realises that it is ok to play D, perhaps even put a hand in front of someones face whilst they are shooting?

 

[Borgsta]

Nice 1st half there for Dwight, 18 and 11.

Harrington had a big 1st quarter against his old club (and duly inserted into my fantasy team because he was playing GSW) with 8 and 7.

Still no D being played there and the score is 45-37 NY with 10 minutes left in the 2nd qtr.

Gee that first half of the Boston @ Charlotte game is really frustrating.

It never ceases to amaze me that the day before Boston can go around pounding the crap out of Philly, and now we're struggling against one of the worst teams in the NBA (we're only up by 2 at the half) Gerald Wallace is killing us ..

 

[Borgsta]

Good Lord it is 78-62 in NY with 1 minute left in the 1st half.

End up 82-64 NY at half time. Lee with 20 and 10.

 

[Borgsta]

Rashard Lewis has just gone off, scoring 13 this quarter.

 

[celtic_pride]

The refs have been disgusting today against Boston in Charlotte ..

 

[eathb]

why are Boston wearing home jerseys on a road game?

fine them.

I have no idea, we were wearing our 'alternate away' jersey at home yesterday to Philly


BTW THank %$#^ for KG !!! Jump hook gives up a little bit of breathing space 86 -82 with 40 secs to go ..

 

[eathb]

Hot damn...David Lee has 30-17. Duhon has 20 assists...

 

[Borgsta]

David Lee you monster. 35 and 21.

 

[eathb]

27 points off 9 FGA for Chauncey Billups.

the efficiency master.

 

[eathb]

JR smith should pursue a golf career. I read an article before that he's pretty good at golf.

infact...
- u don't need a stupid coach to play golf
- u don't need to pass the ball
- u don't need to play defence.

it all makes sense now. i would support JR 100% if he decides to pursue a golfing career.

 

[peternorth]

fk me, david lee and to a greater extent duhon! we know lee can explode for massive rebound numbers, but duhon?? oh and it was crawfords first game back in ny

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—Orlando Magic guard Mickael Pietrus will be out three to five weeks because of a torn ligament in his right thumb.

Pietrus averages nearly 13 points and is one of the Magic’s main 3-point shooters.

He hurt his thumb against Philadelphia last week. Pietrus played with the injury against the Wizards on Thursday but an MRI revealed the damage Friday.

The injury leaves an already thin Magic backcourt even thinner.

The Magic are already missing backup guard Keith Bogans because of a broken thumb, and starting point guard Jameer Nelson is nursing a pulled groin.

Still won today regardless but suddenly that excess at the SG is in dour shape.

I strongly recommend everyone check out that NY/GSW boxscore

You should have seen that thing 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter - Knicks already had 93!

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

wow. Im not sure Nellie's 8 SG line up will be a defensive force.

A JET Terry update: Over his last 8 games, 27ppg, 54%, 42% on 3s, at least 10 FGs in 4 of his last 5.

Forget 6th man...All-NBA

JET make Kirilenko mad. Kirilenko had two paws on trophy, now it is get away like slimy Russian herring.
