I just need to get that horrible taste out of my mouth left by the result of the Wizards game.  Hopefully the Cavaliers can do just that tonight in Indiana against the Pacers.  Danny Granger is one of the most explosive scorers in the NBA, and he especially loves to get up for LeBron.

Like all the points in the paint but the Cavs have to slow the game down…they’ll never make it at this pace….Good to see Andy back

Will someone please tell Z to stop shooting?? He’s obviously in the deep freeze tonight

I can’t believe the Maloofs gave up on the Monarchs. They should have let the Kings fold. At least Seattle had the sense to keep the better of their basketball teams.

Who are you rooting for in the BOS-ORL game? I’m rooting for the Celtics…I respect them a hell of a lot more than the Magic.

Well, we rallied from a 3rd quarter deficit for once. I’m quite pleased.

by WaveOcean on Nov 20, 2009 8:24 PM CST reply actions  

a glance at the shot chart

tells you why they lost the lead in the third…2 attempts in the paint out of 17 6 of 17 attempts in the fourth quarter…the first half they were 17 attempts in the pain out of 42
