Grizz need to come back to the level the Spurs and Mavs are at.

You don’t have any fantasy player that has a game tonight, huh?

Dear Blazers,

Please win. That is all.

I just beat Panduro team to take the number 1 spot in PtR fantasy. Good times.

by silverandblack_davis on Jan 24, 2012 7:07 PM CST reply actions

Yeah, in about 3-4 weeks I should have Manu healthy again, to go with Love, Rondo, and the rest of the gang. Until then, my team sucks, but I had to position myself for the playoffs. :D

Pacers getting beaten up by the Magic. I guess they’re really not ready yet.

by silverandblack_davis on Jan 24, 2012 8:09 PM CST reply actions

Melo 0-7 with 1 point and yet Knicks are winning by a large margin. Guess who’s the chemistry killer now.

by silverandblack_davis on Jan 24, 2012 8:12 PM CST reply actions

They are playing Charlotte, though.

Am I the only one who thinks Hansbrough kinda runs like Bonner?

Hah, I see that too. Also, they accuse Hansbrough of being a black hole and not passing the ball ever. At least Bonner’s a team player.

Anyone noticing Alonso Gee’s defense on Lebron?

I voted for the Raptors. I don’t think they get enough hate. I felt like I needed to do something about it. Eff the Raptors.

Hey, find your own random team to hate! But yeah, the Hitler ’stache? Bad Idea.

I hate the Cavs. Why don’t they just go in full tank mode and trade Varejao to us?

by silverandblack_davis on Jan 24, 2012 8:49 PM CST up reply actions

Varejao would be perfect. We have nothing to trade back to them, though. They should just waive him so we can sign him, but they won’t. Why you so selfish, huh, Cavs?

Now this would be an entertaining post/poll, albeit maybe not so nice. Which team (besides the obvious choices/rivals) do you maybe not like the most for whatever reason?

I’ll probably go with Utah. Eff Utah.

Bargnani is playing a lot better this season. He is even rebounding the ball now.
