    Ouch. Of course, the real tragedy is that he'll only be able to enjoy Toronto's vast Turkish culture in two dimensions for a while...

    Though this sucks. Ball. The other guys stepped up well. Ball. Of the other 8 guys who played, 6 scored in double figures. Ball. Only Belinelli and Rasho (who played very well as well) didn't. Ball. Wright has been very good for us recently, hitting the 3s that the team needs. Ball.


    Ball.

    So if you even consider playing for Portland, you get hurt. I know Chris Paul really likes Brandon Roy...

    I have no idea what this latest slang means, that I keep seeing on this board in the last week, but for decades I've just let these things pass without asking, and a couple of months later, I'm in the clear again.

    Must be David Letterman's alma mater. The only slang that ever lasts is the word "cool."

    BCaca is a wussy!!1! Worst GM ever. How could he sign a guy that would get hurt? He could have ask Dunlavey if he wsa going to injrue Turkward. He coul dhave signed Andre Miller, but he can't sign free agents.

    If BCaca ever shows that he can make a good trade, I'll change his name back. Now Turkward won't be back until 2011, and he'll never be the same. No playoffs/season over. If we had Andre Miller, we would be contenders.

    I HATE COLANGELO.

    I was surprised to read that he had his orbital bone fractured and a Z-Bo sucker punch wasn't to blame.

    I had my eye socket (orbital) fractured by a baseball. All I was allowed to do was watch TV from across the room because if I read or did anything close up my eyes would move back and forth and there was a risk the eyeball would snag on the fracture...

    Not fun...

    Getting your face busted by Mike Dunleavy is like getting your lunch money taken by an 8-year old girl - a skinny, red-haired 8-year old girl with freckles.

    Silly fellow - it is really quite simple.

    You are familiar with "rock-paper-scissors"? This is the new version, "ball-glove-bat".

    In certain countries of the mysterious east, and cosmopolitan cities like Toronto, it is considered good luck to throw "ball" first in every game. Hence, a new internet slogan is born!

    Glad I could set you straight. :cheers:
