What was the difference in the paint? Wasn't it a pretty even game? Only thing that really held us back, from what I remember, was lack of production from anyone not named Jose or Chris (CB4 is gonna be an MVP candidate this year. He's playing like a true superstar). Specifically it's Jermaine O'Neal. He had a really weak game and missed a number of key shots down low late in the game.
Oh well. Almost won against an extremely good team. Next up:
:nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:
They just beat New Orleans too. Hopefully we can win 2 of 3 on this roadtrip (Atlanta, Charlotte, Boston) |

I think -12 points in the paint
ONeal and Kapono blew chunks offensive for sure. That last Kapono shot with like 6 secs to go. UGLY |

what's wrong with all you people? Chuck sucks! I can't even begin to explain how much the gimmicky, over-hyped, falsely enthusiastic play by play annoyed me. How he'd question ref's calls that were CLEARLY correct, or understate a spectacular play of the opposing team, or overstate a marginal one of ours, he always seemed to be far less of a fan of the game than someone sucking the dick of the organization.
"maybe we should retire vince's number..." Com'on!!!!
As for his new-guy, he's dull, and he sucks too, but less than chuck. Give me TNT broadcasts, or even better, just some nice courtside mics so I can hear some sam cassell trash-talk. |
I'm with you on this one bro...altho i didnt hate Chuck he was def annoying at times...and quite often.
Tough loss to the Iverson-less Pistons, but Detroit is clearly a better team.
I'm still waitin and anxious to see how the Raps'll be once O'Neal gets going.
Def one of the top teams in the East. |

I know it was on at 2am last night, but did anyone check the end of the rockets-blazers game last night?
Whoa!
Roy-Yao-Roy for the Blazer win! |

that was pure insanity! I still don't get how 1.9 seconds can yield two shots, haha...total bull. I know it conforms to the "technical" rules of how long it takes to get a shot off, but I don't even think Yao got his off in the time remaining, nevermind the b.s. foul, nevermind Roy getting a shot after that.
whatever...it was fun to watch and that was pure redemption for Roy's foul on Yao.
a huge LOL @ Barkley during the half-time report and after the game. I love him on late-night games. he's always drunky-goofy, but this time was particularly nuts.
what was it that he kept slurring up...barn burner? "barn barner" LOL! the way he was repeatedly ripping the "turrible" defense was f'n hillarious too.
I would love to get wasted with Charles and watch some games, hahaha. The rare times he sits in to provide colour commentary during a game are gold too. |

That Houston-Portland finale was insane. Highlights on NBA.com for those that haven't seen it.
Edit: watching that over. McGrady really f'ed up on the final play. By the time he started running after Brandon Roy the guy was already getting the ball in his hands. Too slow, Tracy. Too slow :rolleyes: |

Chuck's the man, like a Black Don Cherry for basketball. He's the comical engine that drives the TNT crew, and a large part of the reason why they're the best network for watching the NBA.
Love the commentary on the halftime shows, especially that guy who was forcing himself through a toilet seat. |

| Jesus holy , we suck. Honestly, perimeter defense is killing us. Bosh, O'Neal and Bargs are playing like demons, but with the revolving door defense on the outside, we can't stop anyone. It's so aggravating to watch, lateral quickness is not a talent like jumpshooting or ballhandling. It's just a factor of intensity and fitness, and our wing players are lacking both. |
