everyone that thinks the Suns are done are as stupid as people that say kidd is done. Suns were amazing tonight hope they can win it this year

Shaq still cannot be guarded 1 on 1. That's why they will be dangerous in the playoffs. Porter has implemented big daddy more so than Mike Dan and Tony.

yeah I know Shaq can't be guarded 1 on 1, and yes they only beat the Nets this game, but Shaq is still Shaq and even if he isn't as good as he once was he is deff still hard to stop at times and Stoudemire is great too, so that also helps

The Rockets continue to shoot under 40% against everyone but us. I'm starting to think they're offense in that game was a fluke. Artest isn't helping either. He came into the night shooting 40% before going 3-16 against the Celtics.

That's about right for Artest. He's never really been an extremely efficient offensive player.

He's had an entire offseason to rest, though. He will wear out by the end of the year. For a guy of his age, there's just too much mass on his body for him to keep going full throttle for an entire season.

yeah, he will deff wear out by the end of the season, but I also think Nash and Kidd will start to wear out also if not played right, more so kidd because he played this summer and had some injures in the past, so I think mavs will have to look out for that, just happens when players get old hey even boston need to watch there players as well

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 09:29 PM

My first night with NBA League Pass is being used on the Spurs-T'Wolves game. It's great being able to watch every Spurs and Rockets game so I can cheer as hard for them to lose as I cheer for the Mavs to win. LOL

Spurs are down by 8 in the 3rd Q, btw.

MavsWiLLHaVeRinGs · 11-05-2008, 09:40 PM

Expect some sort of "injury" that keeps Shaq out 2 months towards the end of the season, so that he's rested for the playoffs. Like almost every year.

fluid.forty.one · 11-05-2008, 10:07 PM

ummmmmm

was just looking at myself and thig's fantasy teams since we're head to head. looked at mine, then looked at his and almost s*(t my pants.

amare with 51 points on 81% shooting.. WTF

Natte · 11-05-2008, 10:16 PM

They took a field goal away from him after the game was over.

Still, Amare had a ridiculous game

49 pts on 17/21 shooting
15/15 free throws
11 rebs
6 asts
5 stls
2 blks

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:22 PM

The Spurs-Wolves game is in for a good finish. The Spurs lead 104-103 with 33.5 seconds left. Minnesota ball.

btw, Kevin Love is the man.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:24 PM

^ yep! Kevin Love contested layup against Duncan and the T'Wolves lead 105-104 with 17.7 left.

edit: Parker misses, T'Wolves rebound and fouled. 1 of 2 FT's, 106-104. 9 secs left.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:29 PM

damn, Duncan ties it with 2.7 left. Last shot coming for Minn.

dude1394 · 11-05-2008, 10:29 PM

It'll be ot or wolves win.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:30 PM

OMG, Foye just threw the inbounds pass straight to Bowen and the Spurs call TO. Are you kidding?!

dude1394 · 11-05-2008, 10:31 PM

Well...unless minnie can't get the ball in...DOH!!

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:32 PM

Parker misses a three at the buzzer. OT

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:48 PM

What a game this has been. I love me some League Pass. lol

Tied at 112, 15.3 left. Minn at the FT line.

edit: make that 114-112 Wolves lead, SA TO.

Flacolaco · 11-05-2008, 10:52 PM

What got into the dirty french pg tonight? If they need 44 from him every night to win they're in trouble.

Are they headed to 2OT? By game cast thing stopped working.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:52 PM

Two clutch FT's by Duncan. Minnesota ball with 7.4 left. Let's see if they don't fuck up the last shot opportunity like last time.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:54 PM

WOW!! Al Jefferson hook shot from a good distance puts the Wolves up 116-114 with 2.5 left!

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 10:55 PM

OMG, Parker drains a long two at the buzzer. Good god...double OT coming up.

I feel dirty being so happy for such a performance from Black Jesus, but such is fantasy basketball.

LonghornDub · 11-05-2008, 10:58 PM

I don't have the Spurs game on my league pass here, because it's blacked out in Austin. That's despite the fact that it's not on any local channel here tonight.

Awesome.

Are you freaking kidding me...come on Minne. Close this out.

I guess when Duncan is making clutch free throws it's not your night.

Flacolaco · 11-05-2008, 11:00 PM

NO scores only 79 tonight against Atlanta? huh?

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 11:00 PM

That may have taken the wind out of the Wolves' sails. Parker with back-to-back baskets to start the 2nd OT, and he now has 50 points.

LonghornDub · 11-05-2008, 11:02 PM

120 all.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 11:02 PM

Make that 52 points for TP. 124-120 Spurs. 1:24 left

LonghornDub · 11-05-2008, 11:04 PM

Spurs are in some real trouble if they need 2OT to beat the Wolves with Parker scoring 52 and Duncan with 28.

jthig32 · 11-05-2008, 11:06 PM

Tony Parker has 52 points and is only a +7 right now. That's incredible.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 11:06 PM

Randy Foye with two long jumpers. Unfortunately, the first one had his foot on the line, so it's 126-125 Spurs. 35.4 left SA ball.

Meanwhile Mason has 26 points, is the Spurs' 3rd leading scorer, and is -4.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 11:09 PM

WOW! WTF was Finley thinking there?! After an offensive rebound, he immediately takes a 3 pt. shot like his team is DOWN. BRAINFART. Luckily for him, SA got another off. rebound. FT's for Parker.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 11:10 PM

Parker makes both FT's. Minn ball, down 128-125. 19 seconds left.

LonghornDub · 11-05-2008, 11:10 PM

Spurs are getting clutch FT's from Duncan and Parker and still can't find a way to put away the lowly Wolves.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 11:11 PM

That probably does it. Missed 3 pointer, and guess who rebounds? Parker, and he is fouled.

mavspwnage · 11-05-2008, 11:12 PM

Spurs win 129-125. Parker ends the game with a missed FT, but Duncan got the rebound so it didn't matter. Parker with 55 points helps them escape a 0-4 start. Awesome game.
