Nov. 4th Other Games Thread

I'm bored and thought I'd make this post. 10 games tonight...
* Suns @ Magic: This one is tough. Annoying team or a team that could have home court advantage in the finals. I don't like the Suns not having a loss so go Magic.
* Heat @ Wizards: Go Fab's Wizards....
* Pistons @ Raptors: I kind of like both teams this year....I'll root for the Pistons though...
* Nuggets @ Nets: Go Nets, easy
* Pacers @ Knicks: Go TJ Ford and the Pacers
* Celtics @ Wolves: Go Wolves
* Lakers @ Rockets: Please Rockets...Lakers coming off that overtime win still look sloppy so hopefully Ariza lights Artest up
* Mavs @ Hornets: Go Hornets. I think it makes us look better if they start winning and I can't root for the Mavs unless it directly and explicitly benefits the Spurs.
* Hawks @ Kings: Go Kings. We already beat them so it raises our SOS so far. Its a West bottom feeder vs a East second tier team too.
* Grizzlies @ Warriors: Go Warriors. They are just more fun to root for.
Those are my picks. Agree? Disagree? Have better reasons?

Go...somebody...
BlaseE, how’s it hangin’? I won’t be here for long, got lots of work to do and plans with the wife tonight. Y’all have fun and lets hope that all our rivals and hated teams lose.

oh yeah, I might not be here later either. I was just hoping this would spark some sort of activity on the site. Heat/Wizards and Mavs/Hornets are on ESPN though so maybe I’ll watch some.

I"m voting for Suns just in case the Magic and the Spurs end up in the Finals, so that they don’t have home-court advantage against us. Then again, it’s a pretty good chance that the Lakers, Celtics, and Magic all end up with a better record than us. But any little bit helps.

I'm torn...
Unfortunately, Houston is winning the division right now, so for our sake I should rather them lose than the L*kers. But I love how scrappy the Rockets are, and they won’t be challenging for the division when the season’s done, so I guess it’s time to pull for them.

I’m glad that the rockets are playing so well. they’re probably my second favorite team right now. It sucks however that they beat the Jazz in their homecourt. Now the Jazz are going to be a little tougher to beat when we get there. To top if off, they lost yesterday in Dallas. Sloan is probably giving them so much shit right now.

That Rockets/Lakers game could be really good—and the Lakers just won a tough contest in overtime against OKC last night.

From Silver Screen and Roll:
Here’s your box score and it’s the minutes played that stands out most. Kobe Bryant, 46 minutes. Lamar Odom, 43 minutes. Ron Artest, 47 minutes. Andrew Bynum, 49 MINUTES. Those aren’t numbers you ever want to see and you definitely don’t want to see it in the first half of a back to back. Tomorrow sure will be an interesting one.
Oh, and of course, it will be Ron-Ron’s homecoming.

and since you mention minutes….
Tony is averaging the most for us with 29.3 per game but that puts him at 109th overall in the league. We also have the highest margin of victory for teams that have lost. Hopefully we can maintain a good margin of victor to help keep the minutes where they are at.

First, I wasn’t aware that “mebbe” was text speak.
Second, I just like the way that word feels and like to use it de temps en temps. It has a fun little slur to it, when I say it in my brain as I type it, and it makes me chuckle — “mebbe” heh.
Third, it’s similar to how I sometimes like to make use of the money my parents spent sending me to college to learn French, among other things. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
Fourth, I’m not the style-maven (that’s Lauri) – I’m just the guy who loves a clever turn of phrase and volunteered to keep track of all of the little words and phrases we use around here.
Have I bitten off more than I can chew? Possibly. Am I addicted to text-speak? Hardly.

I’m going to try to distract you from my typo with another stat…
Boston with their ungodly margin of victory has 3 players (Allen, Pierce, and Rondo) over 31 minutes per game. Even Garnett’s 28.0 mpg is higher than every Spur other than Parker. Allen is playing 35 mpg in these blowouts. I’m sorry, but Doc Rivers is a dick.

That’s unpossible! I know, because when I Google that phrase, it tell me this:
No results found for “doc rivers is a dick”.

try other words synonymous with penis maybe….
In their 33 point victory over Charlotte: Ray Allen had 38 minutes and Rondo had 30
In their other two blowouts, it wasn’t quite as bad. So maybe I jumped to conclusions (without a mat). He does kill his players in nearly close games though. In the 10 point win on NOOCH, he played his starters for an average of 36.4 minutes. It was 34.6 minutes for their starters against Cleveland in that 6 point win. Their bench dominated on the +/- though while the starters were all pretty even. I thought they were supposed to be old like us…. Aren’t they scheduling practice after their early bird dinners too?

The one thing about the West games is at least one of them annoying team loses tonight. Either Lakers, Rockets, Mavs or Hornets. But for what its worth it would be GREAT if the Nets beat the Nuggets. Then people can shut up about them at least.

i’m not too worried. I count every overtime game as a loss. With every close game, they reveal another weakness, and if they happen to win, that only makes them more comfortable. If they’d lost those close games, they would feel the need to try to get better. Sucks that they lost, but you gotta look at d silver lining, =[ where are you!!!!

I thought something sort of similar. Atleast they are not blowing teams out. They have not had a win by more than 8 points. They must be missing Gasol more than they’ll say. Is Ron Ron going to the bench?

No one’s interested in the Nugs? You know, the second best West team last season? My friend bugs me too much about the Nuggets being perfect. I hate them. I hope they lose the next five games by 35 each.

Yea that’s for sure about the Northsiders. I am honestly neutral when it comes to the Chicago baseball teams, I’ll root for both, and was happy to see the Sox win it all in 05 (fluke of a season, they sucked the next year again). But I was definately raised to be a Cubs fan (my mother is die-hard and never misses a game on tv). I will gladly attend a game at either park- although if I had to choose between Wrigley Field or Comiskey Park US Cellular Field, it’d be Wrigley, no question (especially if it were a night game! I’m not walking around the South side at night!).

They’re called that as a self-deprecating way of admitting that if you’re blogging while watching the NBA, at home, alone, even when it’s not your favorite team, then you might as well call yourself a Loser before anyone else does.
But, until you mentioned it, I wasn’t even thinking of putting it in the lexicon. I guess it could be.
