One of the most exciting players of NBA past is playing against possibly the most exciting young player in the league. Carter had an off game yesterday, scoring 17 points on a dissapointing 33.33%. Durrant, on the other hand, had 28 points in his last game, on 50% shooting. If Carter is on, Seattle will have it's hand on. </font></p></td>

<font face="Verdana">Plain and simple, the SuperSonics and sucked. The Nets have been hot recently, if we were to forget the latest game. With some luck, the Nets should be able to handle this young team. Just remember, the Nets will be down by double digits at one time.</font></p>

My table sucked. But I fixed it.

 

I believe Wilcox is out with an injury, and Durant is a game time descision.

 

We have the worst designed halfcourt offense in all of basketball...including highschool

 

earl watson? cmon Sean!

 

AND 1!

 

Where is the defense?

 

seriously josh and sean need to remember that they were put in the lineup originally to aid our defense and keep us from falling behind double digits. REMEMBER your roles fellas.

 

I see vince left the game early in the first. Is he playing like sh!t again?

 

Kidd going for his 4th TD in a row.

 

I hate Malik Allen

 

Kidd should have a TD by the end of the 3rd.

 

This game is mad borin'.

 

can frank plz stop considering jason collins ever during any point in the game. Wut good is a man who sets good screens if he isnt a threat coming off the roll?

 

Our front court off the bench is horrid. Collins and Malik are the slowest players on earth, and they can't make a layup, rebound, or block a shot to save their lives.

We really need Boone or Sean out there ASAP to rebound some shots, because Collins and Malik together just ain't cuttin it.

 

its sad our secondary can't score, we only have two scorers, Boki and VC damm we need to make a move

 

nice to see twan back, hopefully he'll get some time later in the 2nd half

 

good lead at the half, but let's not get too laid back like we did for yesterday's game. we saw where that got us.

 

Boone has to gain some muscle. He just gets overpowered, its a shame because he has nice D skills but gets pushed around in the post. If he could add 15-20 lbs of muscle he would be a wall in there.

 

PS:The Bobcats are murkin' the celts.
