James with the dunk and foul. He converts the 3-pt play.

Bummer, James has been glued to the bench for the entire 4th quarter.

Decent line.

this in-game blog is a sad state of affairs for a number of reasons:

low participation
the fact that we have to resort to this kind of thing since our team is eliminated
the chances of gist actually becoming a spur

all that said, i am definitely sad to have missed out on it until now. now all we need to know is the whereabouts of the james gist fan club president (SiMA).

Low participation = most of us work for a living… ATS does, too, but he’s the boss. Everywhere. :)

The refs are being quite generous towards the Cavs.

It’s not fair. The teams I’m rooting for are about the win, and then they screw the pooch. Is it me?

I can’t believe we don’t have a thread for tonight. Go Magic.

I just can’t buy the “Howard the leader” angle.

No, but I’d like Hedo to do well. And also just consider the alternative.

I’m not saying I don’t like Dwight, because I do. He just doesn’t strike me as a leader of men yet. :)

I would have to agree. Anything going on at 3rd qtr collapse… or whatever it’s called?

No idea. Haven’t been there in a while… Don’t think they’d appreciate strangers dropping by in the middle of their biggest series in 10 years. :)

I’m with you. I thought I’d be able to read the PtR recap since I missed all but the last 2 minutes of the game… but no.

Oh Well… gotta get up early tomorrow.

Later.

now that I think of it, that was probably about the same time as the Magic were wrapping it up.

omfg... those highlights made me wince

Yes, the gist looks young and raw. But as old and decrepit as we were last season, how can we NOT have that on the floor, especially for a rookie min. contract?!?!?! Saw that breakaway, and I had RHCP lyrics going through my head:
Worthy’s hot/With his tomahawk/Take it to the hole/Make yo’ Mama talk

Seriously— can anybody remind me of an NBA 3 with that kind of body, range, and athleticism? Everybody in recent memory seems to be in the emaciated Nic Batum/Boris Diaw mold. I want this man on our team NOW!!!
