Headed to Memphis next week, just got 2 second row floor seats to Grizzlies vs Lakers. I couldn't be more excited. I'm taking my son, who's developing into an NBA fan like his dad.

PF: Derrick Williams SF: Andrei Kirilenko C: Greg Stiemsma G: Malcolm Lee G: Luke Ridnour And our bench, which makes a grand total of only NINE guys who were able to suit up this game: Dante Cunningham Alexey Shved Lou Amundson Will Conroy That's because we were missing the three best players on the team (Love, Rubio, Pekovic), some significant help off the bench (JJ Barea, Chase Budinger). Oh, and we didn't have Brandon Roy that game, but that's going to be a common theme this year and something we shouldn't depend on at all. So let's see the Bobcats go through that and see if they can get a win even against the league's worst team last year. |

Is there a team in the NBA deep enough that could beat the Bobcats consistently if you remove their three starters and their three best scorers off the bench for one game?
Whatever. Pekovic is back and we signed some bench help in Josh Howard. At least we have some ****ing bodies to rotate now. |

Had the same seats a couple of years ago to see Grizz/Warriors, and it was great. But to see this Laker team with Kobe, Dwight, Pau and company will be special. We'll have access to the tunnel where the players come in and out; there's a food/drink buffet back there under the stands that we can go to anytime. I'm really hoping Nash is back, but that's probably 50/50 at this point.

Shut up.
Man, pick any ONE of those injured players except maybe Brandon Roy. If we had Pekovic, we would have won by at least 10. With Barea we at least would have had a real ballhandler who could soften the boards. Wolves win that game too. Budinger would have been a nice shooter who could have given Kirilenko a ****ing break. I'll bet just that one extra guy we could turn to off the bench would have made the difference and pushed us over the edge. If we had signed Josh Howard earlier, I'll bet we beat the Bobcats. That Pekovic injury was just one ****ing guy too many for this team to handle. Thankfully he's back now. |

At this point we just need healthy players. Last night we were scraping the bottom of the barrel for guys to put in minutes. If ANYBODY had gotten into foul trouble, we would have been ultra screwed. Like, "We forfeit this game. Just let us collect our wounded, please." |

Lucky bastard. I have been trying to see if I can catch the Celtics somewhere in the area but I will probably have to wait until spring time. Thinking the best bet would be against those loser Timberwolves.

The Thunders starting 5 are -7 in 149 minutes this year. As I have been saying the slow start has as much to do with that as the Harden adjustment. +15 with Martin the the floor.
I believe after the last few playoff runs and Olympics Russ and KD are having problems getting their intensity up for the regular season. That and Perkins has been a steaming pile of shit on both sides. Not that this had much to do with Wednesday. The Grizzlies just played ****ing great. |
