doubleM Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 tonight is the last night of the free NBA pass am i the only person watching it? ← No, I too have been tuning in. I got to see the Bucks play the other night. Bogut looks to be for real. Redd and Ford, w/ Simmons...Magliore. Wow. I'm playing at the Blazers' VIP bash tonight. Paul Allen's band plays after us. The Jazz look better, too w/Okur stepping up. Now if AK47 can buy a basket Quote
Soulstation1 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 i'd love having b-ball on until 11 pm almost every night i'd like to get the NBA pass, but it's $170 i need a new tv for my bedroom Quote
md655321 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Posted November 8, 2005 Ive been LOVING having the free pass. Ive been able to catch a couple Pistons games while im stuck in philly. 170 is way too steep, plus there are alot better thing i can do with my time. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Posted November 8, 2005 where is latrell sprewell? how is he feeding his kids this season? Quote
Guy Berger Posted November 8, 2005 Report Posted November 8, 2005 The Jazz look better, too w/Okur stepping up. Now if AK47 can buy a basket ← Okur's been phenomenal. And once Carlos Boozer comes back, look out. I've never been a Jazz fan, but I'm psyched for Jerry Sloan. Guy Quote
doubleM Posted November 8, 2005 Report Posted November 8, 2005 I wonder if Boozer will ever return! I keep hearing rumors that he's holding out for a trade. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 it looks like # 08 is wearing panty hose vanessa's expecting another kid and he should be cheating on her again soon Quote
Jim R Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 Just before the season started, I looked up the Warriors' schedule, and almost all their games were listed as being slated for airing on FSN Bay Area (which I get). Well, the last two times I've tuned in to watch, they've been airing Sharks hockey instead. Oh joy. Looks like I won't be following the W's as closely as I'd hoped this year (no, I'm not up for paying for yet another premium sports channel package). Hockey, of all things... why don't they go back on ****ing strike. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Posted November 9, 2005 I agree with you about hockey, Jim. Pistons put the hurt on the Kings last night. Tayshaun is lighting it up!! I'm glad to hear Okur is doing good with the Jazz. I was bummed when he got traded from Detroit. I always liked what he brought to the game. Quote
md655321 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) He wasnt traded. We just couldnt afford to sign him and Sheed. Nor was he necessary with the Serbian Nightmare waiting in the wings. Edited November 9, 2005 by md655321 Quote

I was actually hoping to hear the games on KNBR online but for some reason it blacks out the games. On the plus side I was very psyched to see the W's beat the Bucks last night -- the first decent team we've beaten, and Baron isn't nearly at 100% yet. Hopefully we will do just as well against the Bulls tonight. As far as the Pistons beating the Kings -- impressive. Their first few victories were against mediocrities and while this isn't the mighty Sac of yesteryear, it's still an emphatic road victory over a strong team. Guy ps Flip must be loving his new job!

Jim Alfredson Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Posted November 11, 2005 Watching the Rockets vs. the Heat while waiting for the Detroit/Phoenix game to start. I haven't seen the Heat yet this season. These are the guys that are supposed to win the East?!? Ooookkkay. Quote
Noj Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 The Heat will not be as good as last year, until they start playing Williams and Walker less. Terrible offseason acquisitions for a team with legitimate Finals aspirations. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Posted November 11, 2005 All right, y'all... give some love to the Pistons!!! Quote
md655321 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 5-0 top 4 offense. Only undefeated team in the league. Quote
Noj Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 Can only hold Rip down for so long. That whole "best-conditioned player" thing is no joke. The Suns defenders hounded him for three quarters and held him to 6 points, then he finally broke loose in the fourth to finish with 18. Quote

Hopefully we will do just as well against the Bulls tonight. ← Hey Guy(s) , I'm late with this, but I actually got to see that Bulls game (no Sharks that night, apparently... btw, anybody know any chants or prayers that will prevent hockey games from occuring? ). That's the good news. The bad news is, the W's (after being in control throughout the first half) couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the 3rd, and didn't shoot much better in the 4th. This Cbarkapa kid is really making the most of his minutes... I can't remember the last time I saw an NBA player put up three air balls in one quarter. Even Manute Bol would hit something when he put up his bizarre 3-pointers. I don't know why Calbert Chaney didn't get more minutes... maybe it was a match-up thing. Anyway, it became a nailbiter thanks in part to some bad officiating, and the fact that the W's could not stop Kirk Heinrich. ... and the fact that they forgot how to shoot. Just to show how desperate the situation was, Fisher banked in a 3 to keep it close in the final minutes, and nobody even cracked a smile. Knicks again tonight... or will it be hockey... Quote

Also, when/if Baron actually comes back to full health and Ike comes off the IL, this will be a better team. Guy Quote

Guy ← I don't care if Shaq wasn't playing. The team I saw last night looked scared and lost out there. I'm blown away that they actually won. Well, no I'm not. Dwayne Wade is the real deal. But the rest of the guys looked pitiful. Anyone see that hellacious put-back by Big Ben in the 3rd? That was crazy large crazy stupid whack crazy. In that order. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Posted November 12, 2005 Is Bill Walton the absolute worst announcer in the history of the game? Christ, we're not even out of the 1st quarter and he's already said gems like this: "The Blazers have a commanding three point lead!" 3 points is considered commanding!??! "The Blazers are taking it to the Pistons! What is Flip Saunders going to do about this!?" This is when the Pistons were behind by... oh shit... FIVE POINTS!!!! "I'm not ready to give up on the Pistons yet." Said with 5 minutes left in the first quarter and the Pistons down by 2. What a frickin' moron. Quote
