I’m loving it

"It's who we are," Battier said. "I don't think we're going to get the love of the six foot blonde bombshell. That's what the Lakers are here for. It's alright, I like our demographic."

26-21

Durant’s on fire! The rest of the team, not so much.
Uh, Budinger’s playing. He’s 2-for-3 with 2 FT’s … 6 points on 3 shots. God, he’s hyper-efficient.

I support the Tornado Release ... and Young Bucks.

Those were the bull!**@ calls on budinger.

I keep hearing people saying Bud looks a little like Larry Bird.

How great would THAT be if he developed into the next Larry Bird?

:^)

I'd actually rather want him to be the first Chase Budinger...

we have got to stop putting these labels. They’ve ruined a lot of players. They need to be their own man.

by suzaku on Nov 6, 2009 8:39 PM CST up reply actions  

that said...

they have got to be able to put a picture in his player profile in yahoo. its still empty.

Agreed.

But if Bud did develop into a great player like Bird, that would be so awesome…

Well, he did add some colour to the team… anyone remember the hilarious “Well, I’ve been to the stands before…” press conference?

But other than that, no.

by Jeffrey on Nov 6, 2009 9:10 PM CST up reply actions  

and not to mention that games like these...

are played to develop ariza. He’s still a work-in-progress while ron is pretty much where he’ll be for the rest of his career, maybe even on the downhill.

by suzaku on Nov 6, 2009 9:13 PM CST up reply actions  

“Ron-Ron” is definitely a step slower…

… he can’t guard the quick, smaller guys like he used to.

Ariza is still getting better. He hasn’t reached his ceiling yet…

lots of players in double-figures again.

ariza 11 points
scola 19 points
budinger 16 points
landry 12 points..
battier on the way with 9 points.

by suzaku on Nov 6, 2009 9:21 PM CST reply actions  

If we consistently beat the teams that we are supposed to beat,

I think we will be making the playoffs.

4 people in double digits, and Battier with 9, and Brooks with 7. By the time the game is over, there will be at least six people with double digits..

by Kari on Nov 6, 2009 9:21 PM CST reply actions  

Lowry has 4 fouls and Brooks twisted his ankle. Put in Conroy! Or Dorsey, I guess.

Cook’s expiring salary could turn into someone (or part of someone) via a trade.

Or does he just hate Joey a lot?

Once would be enough, too I’m sure…

… shoveling it is a real pain in the ass.

NY State is a nice place to live except for the wintertime. Winter seems to last forever while summer seems to only last a couple of months.

There’s an old joke about NY State:
The summers lasts 2 months, the spring lasts 2 months, the fall lasts 2 months and the winter last SIX months.

Snow is “fun” for skiers, snowmobilers, and little kids. But for the rest of us, driving a car in it sucks big time. I’d rather live where it is warm.

Maybe someday after I retire…

I’m ok with Brooks’s game tonight. The announcers have made a big deal about his lack of scoring, but I don’t think he’s really been frustrated too much. He’s up against the one guy in the league that is both quicker and bigger than him, and he’s smartly not trying to force it. When your team is up by ~10 the whole game, it doesn’t bother me if you aren’t hitting your averages.

Man Ariza has 18 pts 6 asts & 4 boards

Not a bad night. LOL

I think the problem with not having any stars

is that late in games, when we’re trying to milk the clock, we struggle to get good shots. Our offense is great if we have 24 seconds to move the ball around, but not so good with only 8 or 10.

by jack_ on Nov 6, 2009 9:48 PM CST up reply actions  

we actuallt don't need a star if everyone shoots well...

the only need for a star is when the clock is ticking in those final seconds and we need a game winning or tying shot. We don’t know who’ll take the shot in those situations.
