Note: I know he made 5, but what is Rasheed Wallace thinking taking 10 three pointers? He's got to be the laziest talent ever.

How many times are Grant and Jerry going to say "Artest takes the best player right out of the game"? I'd say 3 more times.

Depends. I'm guessing at least 2 or three.

they were down big and he hit 3 or 4 threes down the stretch and brought them back in the game again

Now you can see the good reason why Atl gave up on Shelden so quick. Horford. Its not because Shelden is terrible. Its because Horford is awesome.

 

[venom_7]

Richardson for TDM. I've never heard of him.

I totally agree. Horford is gonna be a BEAST!

 

[Sluggah]

does Grant keep calling this Frank character "Mike" or am I losing my mind?

 

[VF21]

I didn't notice. But Frank is sitting next to Jerry, on the other side from Grant. I haven't heard Grant talking to him much at all...

this halftime show is terrible

Seriously. And they both say it like its something new they just came up with.

Except that Horford plays C for them, and Shelden played PF. Shelden's competition was Josh Smith and Marvin Williams.

I'm just imaging all the soccer moms trying to dance to this right now.

Atlanta has a tendency to play every post player they have at C and it was Horford who took Sheldens minutes. You and I both know Marvin and JSmoove are SFs anyway. Horford is a PF.

 

[piksi]

we need a strong quarter because if we have to have close finish - Bibby might just take it from us

 

[Mateo]

who is "they" ?

Who do you think? GP

 

[Mateo]

Artest is 6/6 fg right now. I like it.

Hmmm... I guess there are a couple of likely ways to look at it. One was the flattering "Horford ate his minutes," and the other, the insulting "they'd rather play a SF at PF than play him." I guess we'll find out the answer over the next couple of months, the guy is sure to get some minutes in Sac.

 

[NCKingsfan]

Artest and Martin really carrying the Kings, Miller with just one hoop.

 

[piksi]

there You go - just finish them

 

[Jechtsphere]

Petrie isn't on the phones...stop watching the game lol

 

[venom_7]

Brad is getting "blocked" an awful lot. Give him a call refs.

 

[Mateo]

Don't tug on Superman's cape...

 

[venom_7]

Josh Childress is so weak lol.

 

[fnordius]

Wow... Ron's gone to the line 14 times, vs 7 for Kev and 2-3 for everyone else.

Nice last-minute showcasing!

 

[Mateo]

He's staying.

 

[venom_7]

He's staying.

We won't know until noon tomorrow.

 

[piksi]

He's staying.

what for ?

 

[venom_7]

Kevin didn't do anything at all. Like really. Absolutely nothing. He got fouled the same way on the other end. This is stupid.

 

[Jechtsphere]

These refs suck.

 

[Mateo]

I'm just saying, I think he stays. And just take a look at the boxscore as to why he should.
