Darth Thanatos 12-23-2005, 11:12 PM -Allen Iverson scores 53 but the Sixers still lose.......to the Hawks......at home.......
-Clippers win. They had two guys get 20/20+. Has that ever happened?
-Cavs choked a 22 point lead but still win. SJax gets ejected and will probably be suspended for flipping off a ref and cussing out the crowd. LBJ struggled from the field but still managed to almost pull off a triple dub.
-Raptors are a really shitty team.
-Lakers are actually good. They won again.
That's all for tonight.
H1Man 12-23-2005, 11:30 PM You forgot mention NJ winning over Miami on the road. Think Kobe took note of Carter's performance?
And I am loving all the drama in Indy. First Artest is fed up with Carlise's offense and wants out and David Harrison is unhappy over his playing time and breaking pictures in the locker room. And now Stephen "We Ride Together" Jackson is out cussing and flipping off the referees.
lmcpherson 12-24-2005, 12:59 AM Philly lost on the road. Still one they shoulda had, especially with the night Iverson had.
Toronto does suck, but Bosh is the shit. He had a ridiculous block on Brent Barry, who appeared to be driving baseline for an uncontested dunk.
Last time two teammates had 20P/20R in the same game: 1986, Charles Barkley and Moses Malone.
SJax looked every bit the thug he is at the end of that game, staring down the official for no real good reason. Then again, has he ever need a good reason, or any reason, to be a dick?
Expect the Cavs to dip in January. 10 of 15 on the road, including a six game WC trip.
Artis Gilmore 12-24-2005, 09:33 AM Chris Kaman is a beast.
Taymelo 12-24-2005, 09:45 AM [quote="George Dubya Bush-Raptors are a really shitty team.[/quote]
That nearly beat the San Antonio Spurs, who blame their losing on playing 4 games in 5 nights, as if the 21-3 Pistons have not done that about 1,000 times so far this season, and also happen to have played less home games than any other NBA team this season, on their way to the best record in the NBA thus far this season.
In other words, San Antonio should STFU, stop making excuses, and accept that they lost because they lost, not because of the schedule.
Artis Gilmore 12-24-2005, 09:50 AM We are going rape the Spurs on christmas.
Artermis 12-24-2005, 10:44 AM I believe this was the 5th time it has happened.

Not to mention the next Kevin Garnett is retiring.
Darth Thanatos 12-24-2005, 06:26 PM Chris Kaman is a beast.
He would have been a nice draft pick, even though 2 would have been way too high for him.
How bout those Mavericks last night? Avery Johnson has them boys playing on both ends.
Artis Gilmore 12-24-2005, 08:14 PM I think I will put Dallas in the Detroit San Antonio group.
CindyKate 12-25-2005, 02:05 AM Not to mention the next Kevin Garnett is retiring. Bender retiring before KG? Who woulda thunk!
H1Man 12-27-2005, 02:52 AM - Dallas just tied for the best record in the West with the Spurs. Avery has them playing D to go along with their usual offensive fire power. It will be very interesting to see if they keep this up as the season goes on.
- Speaking of Indy, their leading rebounder today was Croshere with 4 rebounds. JO had all of 2 fucking rebounds in 35 minutes.
- Mike Fratello is doing an awesome job in Memphis. Grizzles are the 3rd best team in the West after the Spurs and Mavericks and just ahead of the Suns. And Gasol is playing like an All-Star.
- I am beginning to wonder if it was Steve Nash that made Stoudemire an All-Star instead of the other way around.
Black Dynamite 12-28-2005, 10:41 AM orlando seriously has ego issues
Selfish losers
You know you are in trouble as a team when one of your best players comes back from an injury, scores 28 points, and other players start complaining that they aren't getting enough shots.
Welcome to Grant Hill's world in Orlando. Hill, who missed the first 20 games because of a sports hernia, scored 28 and hit 10 of 19 shots against Dallas. Not exactly a Kobe Bryantor Allen Iversonshooting spree. Yet, Steve Francisand DeShawn Stevenson complained about getting fewer touches.
How sad is that? How pathetic?
In the next two games, Hill took just seven and 12 shots -- and the Magic lost both games.
WTFchris 12-28-2005, 10:54 AM Chris Kaman is a beast.
<----Of course he is. lol
Artermis 12-28-2005, 10:56 AM That is the story of Steve Francis career, never happy unless he is throwing up 30 shots a game
DeSwho? I mean at least have 1 all star appearance under your belt before you think Mr. Hill is getting some of your shots.

Glenn 12-28-2005, 01:21 PM I just read that GSW is finally going to start Diogu over Foyle.
That was really bothering me.
Darth Thanatos 12-28-2005, 01:48 PM T-Mac left at halftime to see the birth of his son, and people are complaining. Crazy.
H1Man 12-28-2005, 11:54 PM Camby breaks finger, faces surgery
The Denver Nuggets suffered another major setback Wednesday when they learned center Marcus Camby, the NBA's leading rebounder, will be out indefinitely with a broken right pinkie.
Camby will need surgery on the finger, after which a timeline for his return will be set.
He averages 16.3 points, 12.9 rebounds and is second in the league with 3.12 blocks a game. His injury adds to a long list for Denver, which has struggled to a 14-15 record.
Already, the Nuggets have lost power forward Nene for the season with a knee injury. Kenyon Martin has missed 10 games with a bad knee. Earl Boykins recently missed six games with a hamstring injury and Greg Buckner missed three with a strained groin.
Camby played only six minutes Tuesday night in a 108-106 loss to Philadelphia. The Nuggets play Seattle on Thursday.
If Camby is going to miss any significant time, I think the Nuggets will their pursuit of Artest.
H1Man 01-03-2006, 01:05 PM - Triple OT win for the Knicks over the Suns. It was a great game.
Steve Nash put up 28 points and 22 assits in 55 minutes.
Shawn Marion put up 38 points and 14 rebounds in 60 minutes.
Marbury with 32 points and 10 assist in 55 minutes.
David Lee with 23 points and 15 rebounds in 52 minutes.
4 Suns fouled out of the game (Bell, Diaw, Thomas and Burke). Suprisingly no Knicks fouled out. Phoenix got called for 41 fouls while the Knicks only commited 27.
Phoenix shot 44 3pointers to the Knicks 11.
Darth Thanatos 01-03-2006, 02:19 PM Who the fuck is David Lee? :lol:
And 60 minutes? Goddamn! I wonder how many minutes our starters got against Memphis.
theMUHMEshow 01-03-2006, 02:44 PM David Lee from the University of Florida. Also, I believe he was a High School slam dunk champ from the Chicago area
H1Man 01-03-2006, 02:49 PM Who the fuck is David Lee? :lol:
And 60 minutes? Goddamn! I wonder how many minutes our starters got against Memphis.
David Lee was the Knicks 30th overall pick in the 2005 draft.
Darth Thanatos 01-03-2006, 07:07 PM I need to keep up with the draft.
Darth Thanatos 01-03-2006, 10:56 PM Washington should be contracted. Allowing vanilla ass Houston to drop 123? Arenas with another 40 point game.

Moodini31 01-04-2006, 12:10 AM Who the fuck is David Lee? :lol:
And 60 minutes? Goddamn! I wonder how many minutes our starters got against Memphis.
I believe David Lee is the first WB in the history of the world to complete the between the legs dunk (McDonald's All American Slam Dunk Contest). Also, he had another sick one in that contest where he threw the ball up, it bounced, he took of his jersey and threw it down. It was sick! (I'm not talking about his bare white chest :D ) Lee won the contest, but I think James White who committed to Fla, but later transferred to Cincy should have won it. I remember he took off from like the free throw line with 2 hands, cocked it to the side and threw it down. Best McDonald's dunk contest ever! :shock:
IMO White got robbed and they gave it to Lee cuz he's a WB and they couldn't believe what he was doing. He was OK in college, but I never thought he'd ever come close to 23 and 15 in the "L".
H1Man 01-04-2006, 06:09 PM Check out AK47's stat line from the Laker's game:
14 Points
8 Rebounds
9 Assists
6 Steals
7 Blocks
1 TO
Dude can fill up the stat sheet like no other.

Yup...that is the dunk contest that I was thinking off...couldnt put my fingers on it for sure though.
Cross 01-04-2006, 11:22 PM ak47 almost got a quin........ double. has that ever been done?

I'm partial to the year "She"Bron won, because I think I could have did half those "winning" dunks...

LOL, that was horrible. I'm pretty sure I could too and I'm a washed up 6'1" WB.
Glenn 01-05-2006, 09:18 AM --Miami & Indy lose big, YAY!!
--Wade & LeBron put up triple doubles
--Duncan cut his hair (finally)
--The Bucks bench did not score...at all
--With Webber out with a back issue, Dali grabs 22 rebounds
--Bosh gets 10 pts and 1 rebound in a foul plagued game, but despite that, don't look now folks, the Raps have won 4 straight (it really helps when you shoot 63% from the floor)
--TWolves hold the Mavs to a season low 78 points
Pharaoh 01-05-2006, 09:21 AM And Raptor fans started talking about making the playoffs before the game was over
H1Man 01-09-2006, 07:59 AM - Did anyone realize that the Raptors won their last 5 games? :shock:
- Too bad for them that Vince Carter was in town today. 42 points and a fadeway 3pointer at the buzzer for the win.
- Earlier in the same game, Carter gave Peterson a 'friendly' slap in the face after Mo picked up a Tech. MoPete responded by giving Carter a slap in the face but the officials only saw what Mo did and ejected him. MoPete was not a happy man.
Darth Thanatos 01-10-2006, 11:22 PM - Knicks win four in a row by beating Cleveland and Damon Jones gets booed . :lol:
- Mike Miller puts up a triple dub in a win over Sactown.
- The Nets quiet 10 game winning streak ends at San Antonio.
- Brevin Knight puts up 18 assist in a double-OT win over Houston.
More stuff is appreciated.
the wrath of diddy 01-10-2006, 11:23 PM We should've signed Brevin Knight instead of Dale Davis.
H1Man 01-11-2006, 03:58 AM - The Rockets have to be the unluckiest team in the League this season. They have had TMac, Yao, Bob Sura, Jon Barry, Mutombo, Derek Anderson, Rafer Alston and Stromile Swift injured at one time or another. Before the season, they were looked at as contender for the Championship but they are looking at the lottery right now. They have the 5th worst record in the NBA right now. :shock:
- Lebron James became the first NBA player to get at least 30 points, seven rebounds and five assists in seven straight games since Oscar Robertson in 1966. His seven-game streak of scoring at least 30 is the longest in the league since Tracy McGrady had 14 in a row in 2003.
- It's official, SAR has some of the worst luck ever. He never made the playoffs with Portland and now the Kings look like a lottery-bound team. I expect some wholesale changes in the makeup of that team by next season.
- Looks like LB is getting through to his players in NY. They have only lost 1 game since he critized Marybury after the Orlando game. I personally would like them to make the playoffs just so that Chicago doesn't endup with a potential Top 10 pick. :wink:
Cross 01-11-2006, 05:22 AM Pierce wouldnt mind a trade.
Magette out some more
Okafor, fucked again.
H1Man 01-12-2006, 05:37 AM The Knicks are on a roll right now. After beating the Cavs yesterday, they beat the Mavs today in OT for their 5th straight win. Over the last 2 weeks, theyhave beaten the Jazz, Suns, Wizards, Cavs and the Mavericks. Not too shabby.
H1Man 01-13-2006, 04:19 AM Lakers' Medvedenko likely out for season
Los Angeles Lakers forward Slava Medvedenko underwent surgery Thursday to repair a herniated disc in his lower back, and isn't expected to play again this season.
The 26-year-old Medvedenko, a five-year NBA veteran, was a member of the Lakers' championship teams in 2001-02. He has career averages of 5.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in 249 games.
Medvedenko was injured during the Lakers' 88-74 loss at Minnesota on Nov. 9. He played in just two games this season.
The operation was performed by Dr. William Dillin at the Centinela Freeman Marina Hospital.
I am guessing that the Lakers will be looking for some front-court help. Too bad the Lakers don't have anyone that we could use.
Darth Thanatos 01-13-2006, 02:53 PM Luke Walton! :lol:
Black Dynamite 01-13-2006, 02:55 PM Luke Walton! :lol:
:x :? no...actually not ever. i'd actually take harpring over him.
Darth Thanatos 01-13-2006, 03:21 PM Then Smush! :lol:
H1Man 01-14-2006, 04:44 AM - LB now has 1000 career wins to his credit. Only Lenny Wilkens, Don Nelson and Pat Riley are ahead of him. Incendentially, all four of them coached the Knicks at one point or another.
- DWade put up a triple double with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.
- Keyon Dooling was suspended for 5 games without pay and Ray Allen for 3 games without pay for fighting during Wednesday's game.
- Webber made a game winning play.:!:
- Triple OT game between Boston and Philly. Philly ended up on top by a score of 125-124 on a clutch 3 point shot by Korver. And Webber stripped the ball from Blount to seal the game.
Anthony 01-14-2006, 12:35 PM Coach won't comment on reports that Francis refused to enter game
January 13, 2006
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The Orlando Magic indefinitely suspended Steve Francis because he refused to play late in the fourth quarter of a blowout, two newspapers reported Friday.

Darth Thanatos 01-14-2006, 12:43 PM ROFL@Webber making a clutch play
That game was awesome.
H1Man 01-15-2006, 10:20 PM - Lebron has 22 point at halftime against the Blazers. The rest of the team scored 24 points.
Darth Thanatos 01-15-2006, 10:27 PM LeBron is my baby daddy. What a beast, and he's only 21.
Black Dynamite 01-15-2006, 10:50 PM LeBron is my baby daddy. What a beast, and he's only 21.
i hope he is a beast for you to throw away your manhood over him so quickly and anal birth out his children :shock:
the kid can play though, needs a lil better control on when to get his teammates involved, but he's better at it than most scorers
-NoQuarter- 01-15-2006, 11:40 PM There's a daily thread on this topic, guys. Just repost yours stuff in there if you want.
