Heck yeah, entertaining couple of games lately!
I’ve been watching with NBA league pass Mobile, which actually worked pretty well these last two games after disaster for the phoenix game. So I may have changed my mind about it, if it continues to work.
So I’m unable to post much during the games, but I got my one post in near the end to get on the roll call! Great to see so many on here posting and having fun. Of course it helps when we have Neal shooting like he is, and a player by the name of Ginobili!!! On our team.
Scary moment at the end of this one (I had wondered why Pop took Tim out there), but Manu was there to Bail us out again.
Let’s keep the wins coming, while our new guys continue to mprove on D.
Go Spurs!

by spursfan_needs_counseling on Nov 8, 2010 8:41 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Yeah but with several very close wins in those 5, we have to be happy with 5-1, our only loss vs undefeated NOH.
What’s scary is that it coulda been 3-3 — or worse — just as easily

The band I’m in now is kind of Hendrix-blues style. But most “rock” bands here are actually metal…

very true, it is a metal town (just didn’t want to say it as “metal” is, believe it or not, a relative term… you wanna give up the name of the band you’re in?.. i support local bands big time. I’ve busted my ass for way too many years not to. Have a good show by the way.
Aw, thanks. We go by Whitecotton, since that’s the frontman’s last name. Having played around DFW the last five years, this is still better.

DFW’s kind of a weird place to play, ya know, toadies and all that… If you want, can you send me a link to a band page or something? I’m a sucker for new music. anything new is good…. you happy with what you’re playing? I know that sometimes people play in things that may not fit exactly what they want to be doing… (I’ve done it before) you’d be surprised at what people will put up with and can get used to when they’re forced to…
Great last name too… “Whitecotton”…. wow…

Did Temple even dress for the game? Don’t see his name up in the boxscore. Didn’t think that bodes well for him if he’s not dressing.
And is Hill just working his way back from injury or is he just really struggling?
the Temple was hidden, did you see the last game? Dude looked lost when Gentry put two dudes on him… gotta figure that chit out mang.
yeah he did and defensively he looked awful!

OK, I lied. I’m back already.
Anyone else surprised by how well the Warriors have started the season? And no, I’m not talking about the San Antonio Warriors.
A little. I honestly thought that the trade for Lee was a bad one for them. And Smart seems to be working out as head coach so far.

by the way… who guys do you root for between mavs and celts? I hate both actually (I used to like the celtics but I cant stand them now when allen and KG joined and when pierce started acting up on injuries…) sorry just wondering :D
But of course. It’s always difficult for me to choose between Dallas and L.A. Lakers. Which team is truly the lesser of two evils?
"Rip it and grip it!" -Kevin Costner
I root for a tie game.
One thing i can do...................is FINGER ROLL.
by gunnin' gervin on Nov 9, 2010 11:03 PM CST up reply actions
Depends. Especially in the playoffs. Here’s who I root for:
1st: Spurs.
2nd: Anyone, anytime, playing the Lakers.
3rd: Any team that eliminates the Spurs from the playoffs. (If they beat us, they should win it all. Right?).
4th: Any Western Conference team other than the Lakers in the Finals.
Thus, I only root for the Celtics if they are playing the Lakers, and I only root for the Mavs if they beat us or advanced past us and are playing in the Finals. During the regular season I only care about the Spurs. Thank you for your time. Oh, and I’m starting to feel the same way about the Heat as I do the Lakers.
Spot on Rooting Hierarchy, with one disagreement:
I can never root for Dallas after what happened in ‘06. I mean we should have had that and been on our way to a threepeat.. but I digress. Point is, if Dallas ever made it to the finals again (not likely), I’d have to root for the East.
And don’t tell anyone but I root for Boston in more cases than just vs the Lakers.

Man, about 5 years ago I wanted us to grab PP soooooooo bad. I would’ve almost given up TP or Ginoboli to get him too…. I know , I know…. please no hate mail. woulda got us another 2 ’ships too though… “search your feelings, you know this to be true”

I know what you mean but… this sentence just made me choke on my water.
'Offensive rebounding' is a gross understatement of DeJuan Blair's skill. It is far beyond 'offensive' and should be qualified as 'Get The Hell Out of My Way Or I'll Tear Your Arms Off and Eat Your Babies' rebounding.
I wanted Jermaine Oneal after the 03 season

Sorry about the water, and I agree about the other O’neal, I had the same thought, he’s proved to be kinda fragile though…
Is there any way we could get J. O’Neal and D. Miles to compete in a “Fragility Contest” for charity?

Off the top of my head, these are guys that just seem to come through when the game is on the line.
G – Kobe
G – Manu
F – Pierce
F – Gasol
C- Tim (I’m going with Tim at Center because I’d still take his experience, smarts and declining skill over Dwight Howards inexperience.)
I’m hoping that after this year, RJ 2.0 may make more than a few “All-Clutch” lists. :)

I used to really despise Rondo until the ’10 Finals. He has a really great game, as much as I hate(d) to admit.

Additionally, anyone who receives Chris Paul’s unprovoked anger gets an extra point in my book.

Rondo’s a beast. Great draft pick by the Celts (I think Phoenix actually picked him, then sold or traded him off to Boston).

Not for Marky Mark aka Mark Wahlberg. He was pretty good in Boogie Nights and The Italian Job. And isn’t he the exec producer of TV’s Entourage?
His older brother, Donnie Wahlberg (who incidentally helped Mark get started in his ‘singing’ career) is a terrific actor. Great performance in HBO’s Band of Brothers, and is currently starring in CBS’ Blue Bloods with Tom Selleck (and the lovely) Bridget Moynahan.

I get what you say, tuna. But I dare you to point me to that one game thread that didn’t have a million one-word comments – and half a million of those consisted on “[player]DOG!”s or other random virtual shouts. It’s the nature of the beast, and cdeck’s ranking doesn’t seem to have had any real impact, beyond a couple of jokes.
