what

Amazingly, it's only a five-point game at the half.

Yeah, and it rocked, IIRC

Going to be a long night, it seems. Pacers just had a 4-on-1 break and couldn't get a basket. BTW, did anyone see Jackson Vroman last night try to showboat on the rim after a fast break dunk, only to fall off and break his wrist?

I think I spotted Maven sitting in the audience next to Nick Lachey

Sonics trade Flip Murray to Cleveland for Mike Wilks, a 2nd rounder and cash. Sixers trade Lee Nailon and a 1st-rounder to Cleveland for a conditional 1st-rounder

The Watson deal is a four-team deal now including the Kings. to Seattle Earl Watson Bryon Russell 2nd round pick from Denver to Denver Reggie Evans Ruben Patterson Charles Smith to Portland Voshon Lenard Brian Skinner to Sacramento Vitaly Potapenko Sergei Monia

Well, it's 3:00. I guess that big T-Mac deal "fell apart".

ESPN is saying that the Knicks are going to try to use Francis as part of a deal to make a run at Garnett in the offseason.

*DING DING DING* COLE Thanks, Tony, we're back again with Alf now down 2 falls to 0! COACH And I gotta wonder how Alf has ANY hope in hell of winning any World title match at AngleMania after this showing. CABOOSE There's still a long ways to go in this one, over 45 minutes, to be exact. Just shut up and watch. Brock hammers away on the open wound of Alf, then bites him. COACH That'll do it, maybe he'll just eat his flesh until he submits! Brock picks up Alf in a bodyslam position, and drops him on the knee! He then picks him back up. COACH And look at the power here! Brock drops him on the knee a second time! He then picks Alf up once again, and completes the move a third time! Brock then picks up Alf once again and applies an abdominal stretch! COLE And what must Alf be feeling in this hold after suffering that triple backbreaker? Brock grabs onto the ropes to add pressure to the hold. Brock holds, then lets go as the referee gets up to check. CABOOSE I don't know what the referee's admonishing him for, the only way this fall can be decided is by submission! Brock then turns and falls to the mat with the hold. He also drives his forearm into Alf's face, putting pressure on his neck, as well. Alf slowly fades away, and the referee checks the arm. 1!!! 2!!! Alf holds through on the third lift! He builds up strength, and manages to get his other arm free, rolling backwards to escape Brock's grasp! He catches Brock with a quick DDT as he's getting up! Both men are out on the mat, but Alf makes it to his feet first, and as Brock is getting up, Alf comes off the ropes and hits a short dropkick right into Brock's face! Brock rolls out of the ring, and Alf follows. Alf rams Brock's head into the apron, and then attempts a suplex on the floor! COLE A suplex coming up, perhaps! Brock blocks, however, and delivers one of his own! Brock slowly gets to his feet, and rolls back into the ring. CABOOSE And you can see some fatigue starting to set in on Brock, as well, even though he's controlled most of this match, obviously, up 2-0. Brock waits on Alf to climb to the apron, then hammers him with forearms. Brock tries to back suplex Alf from the apron to the ring, but Alf flips over the back and comes back with a Hart Attack clothesline! Both men are out on the mat once again, but Alf again makes it to his feet first. Alf CHOPS~! away at Brock in the corner, then slowly rams his head into the buckle as the crowd counts along! 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! 4!!! 5!!! 6!!! 7!!! 8!!! 9!!! 10!!! Brock falls backwards and to the mat, and Alf catches him with a snap legdrop! Alf then tries a standing moonsault, but Brock is able to get the knees up! COLE And Alf had something going briefly, but it's Brock on top once again! Brock sets Alf in the corner, and starts driving knees into the midsection. He then picks Alf's head up, and lays in CHOPS~! Alf chops back, and the two start trading them out of the corner! Alf quickly sticks two fingers into the eyes of Brock! COACH Cheap shot! Alf then grabs Brock by the head, and gives him a big headbutt, sending him to the mat and causing Alf himself to stagger back into the corner. Alf regains his breath, then comes off the second rope and drives an elbow into Brock! Alf picks Brock up and pulls him into the corner again, but this time Brock goes to the eyes! COACH Smart move by Brock Ausstin! CABOOSE I thought it was a cheap move? COACH No. Brock measures Alf, and drops an elbow on him. Brock then backs slowly into the ropes, and drops a second one. Brock picks up Alf and follows with a gutwrench suplex. COLE Suplex, nicely executed by Brock Ausstin! Brock turns Alf over, and applies a camel clutch! COACH Another submission hold, Brock could seal the deal right here! Brock puts the arms over his knees and crossfaces Alf as the referee asks him if he wants to give it up. Alf won't oblige. Brock feels an arm start to slip free, so he releases, then drops knees to the back. Brock drops four knees, then reapplies the hold. COACH He's just making sure now! Brock cranks back on the hold for several seconds, and the referee checks Alf's arm. 1!!! 2!!! Alf holds through again! Alf starts to come up, but Brock releases again and jumps, landing with his ass on Alf's lower back! He then tries to apply the hold a third time, but Alf sandbags him, and is able to move a leg around. Alf swings his other leg around, and kicks both feet right into Brock's chin! Brock falls back into a corner, and Alf follows him over and drives in shoulders. Brock catches him with a knee on one shoulder, but misses a clothesline, and Alf knocks him down with a dropkick! Alf picks him up, but Brock reverses an Irish whip. Alf ducks another clothesline, and they collide in mid-ring! COLE And both men out once again here! This time, Brock gets to his feet first, albeit slowly. He waits as Alf slowly gets to his feet, and traps him in a bearhug! COLE And Brock really trying to wear down the ribs of Alf here! Brock cinches in and jerks Alf back and forth. Alf briefly gets a forearm under the chin, but Brock squeezes and Alf drops it back down. Alf fades once again, and the referee lifts his arm. 1!!! 2!!! And once again, Alf stays in it! COACH How long can this guy hold out? COLE Alf coming back once again, as this match has hit the 20-minute mark! Alf delivers a headbutt to Brock! Then a second! A third! Alf then bites Brock right on the bridge of the nose! Brock releases, and Alf knocks him through the ropes with a superkick! Alf then goes to a far corner to rest. COACH And Alf being really smart right here, to not risk more damage on the floor and get his wind back, give his ribs and lower back some time ro rest! As Brock starts to roll back into the ring, Alf grabs the chair from the other side of ringside. Once Brock gets his body in, Alf starts hammering him with the chair! CABOOSE Brock's like the little alligator at the arcade, and Alf's swinging the mallot! Or in this case, the chair! Alf slams the chair to the mat, and the crowd roars its approval! Alf drops a knee to the sternum, then drags Brock by the legs towards the ringpost! Alf waits for the crowd to get loud, then yanks Brock, crotching him on the post! COLE Well, I've got no arcade analogies for that one. CABOOSE No, but I bet Brock's got some sore Skee-balls right now! COACH Oh, that's REAL cute. Alf then rams Brock's leg into the ringpost, then does it a second time! Alf then sets one leg over the other, drawing a BIG roar from the crowd! COACH Oh, no! Alf lifts his leg up, then drops himself down, executing the RINGPOST FIGURE FOUR~! Brock screams in pain, and the crowd screams in delight! COLE Listen to this place! Alf finally releases the hold after some prodding from the referee, then jumps up and shoves the referee to the floor! COACH Oh, come on! CABOOSE And the referee can do nothing about it! Brock is hobbling in the ring, and Alf slides in and KICKS HIS LEG OUT OF HIS LEG~! Brock struggles to his feet, and Alf does it again! Alf lets Brock get to his feet again, then pulls his leg out from under him and applies an STF! COLE Submission hold from Alf now, an STF! COACH STFU, Cole! COLE What did I say? COACH That's what the kids call that hold these days, I hear. CABOOSE Well, that guy's not as proficient at this hold as I'm sure Alf is, we could see Alf narrow the gap right here! Brock attempts to remove Alf's hands with his own, but Alf yanks at Brock and he drops them. Brock struggles, pulling himself towards the ropes with his elbows. COACH But look! He's still got that power in him! Brock is able to grab the bottom rope! COACH And he makes the ropes, I love it! Alf releases the hold, then pulls him out from the ropes. However, Brock grabs Alf by the pants and pulls him through the ropes to the outside! COLE And Brock buying himself some time, and those are precious seconds for Alf right now! Alf gets back up on the apron, and delivers a shoulder to the gut of Brock! Brock staggers backward, and Alf springs to the top rope and flies in, but Brock catches him with a powerslam! Brock then grabs the chair and sets it up in mid-ring. Brock sets up a powerbomb, but Alf slides out of it in front of Brock and delivers a foot to the gut. Brock quickly drops to his knees and delivers a low blow! Brock then comes back up and executes the powerbomb, sending Alf right through the chair! COACH Oh man, that's it! Slap on a hold here, Brock, and you got it! CABOOSE What hold will he try this time, I wonder? Brock lifts Alf up onto his shoulder. COACH Oh, backbreaker! Brock hooks Alf under the chin, then drops to his knees with him! The crowd groans in reaction. COLE No, he drops with it! COACH Thats was just for insurance, now he's going to put a hold on! Brock plants his knees into Alf's back, and rolls over with a BOW-AND-ARROW hold! COLE And the bow-and-arrow will be the choice of Brock this time! We see one of his partners, Charlie Moss, utilize this one a lot, including against Alf this past Thursday! It didn't work then, will it work here? COACH No way, Alf's done this time! Brock cranks back on Alf, who fades quickly. However, Alf begins to swing his arms around, and manages to roll the hold over and reach the ropes! COACH I can't believe this! CABOOSE I can. I've been through it all in the OAOAST, and I've got to give him his due...if there's any one man who can take all this punishment without packing it in, it's Alf! Brock releases the hold, and stomps away at Alf on the mat. He then picks up Alf for another backbreaker, but this time Alf manages to push off of the corner with his feet, then land on his feet on the mat and take Brock over with a backdrop! COACH And how can he still backdrop the 300-pound Brock after the punishment to his back? Alf kneels down in the corner to recover. Brock slowly gets up and grabs Alf from behind, but Alf responds with a kick between the legs, sending Brock to the mat once again! Alf walks over to Brock and sets him up for a powerbomb, but Brock blocks and backdrops Alf! CABOOSE Well, I think that was a heat-check on Alf's part, and it backfired. Brock then drags the mangled chair which Alf went through earlier, and sets it in the middle of the ring. He sets Alf up for the F-STUNNER-5~!!!!!11111...but Alf counters it with a DDT onto the chair! COLE Big move form Alf there! Let's see if he can capitalize! Alf crawls over to the corner and grabs the kendo stick, then gets to his feet and waits on Brock. When Brock turns around, Alf gives him a HUGE whack with the stick right between the eyes! Brock falls backwards to the mat like a sack of potatoes, and blood soon starts flowing from his forehead! COLE What a shot by Alf, and now it's Brock Ausstin busted open! Alf grabs Brock's legs, and hooks him in a SHARPSHOOTER~!!! COLE Sharpshooter locked in, could this be the thing to cut the deficit in half? Brock screams in pain as he struggles to the ropes, but Alf pulls him back to the center! Brock tries to move to another corner, but Alf pulls him back once again! Brock makes one last attempt for ropes, but finally has to TAP OUT!!! COLE YES! Alf has cut the deficit in half! *DING DING DING* BUFFER [i]The winner of the third fall...ALFDOGG!!!!![/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [b]Score[/b] Brock: 2 Alf: 1 Time remaining: 34:19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Alf releases the hold and slumps to the mat in exhaustion, Knight stands and claps his hands, yelling more encouragement Brock's way. COLE Back to Tony at the wheel! TONY Thanks Michael, and Alf has narrowed the deficit, so now it's Reject's turn to spin the wheel for the first time. Tony steps back, and Reject gives the wheel a spin. When the wheel stops, Rick Heyross's frown turns upside down. TONY The next fall...will be contested under NWA RULES! For those who aren't aware of these rules, direct yourself to the graphic that's about to appear on the screen. *graphic appears on screen* There will be no mats around the ringside area! COLE And in fact, the ring attendants are moving those right now, Tony! TONY You can not use the ringpost or the guardrails to ram your opponent into, or it's an automatic disqualification! And finally, if you throw your opponent over the top rope, or perform a movethat requires jumping off the top rope, you will also be disqualified immediately! COACH And that last one's the killer for Alf, I gotta think! TONY Should make for a very interesting fall! Back to the couch! (26:11)

What the hell were the Bulls wearing tonight? It looks like practice gear, or something you'd wear to the YMCA to work out or run on the treadmill.

I'm sure Test would beg to differ with this assessment.

What's the policy on posters who report totally absurd newsbits without providing sources (and no, I don't count "friends with major contacts" as a source)? Anyone who's read the NBA threads over the past week knows what I'm talking about.

There's nothing to the Garnett-to-LA article, either. It's just a fantasy trading column, and says as such right in the article.

I moved a few of the pinned threads to the other folder. *SPEARS~! for everyone*

Since we have to tell someone every week, always send your HD stuff to KingPK, unless someone else says they're posting it.

Latest rumors from RealGM: T-Wolves: Marko Jaric to Knicks for Quentin Richardson Cavs: Drew Gooden to Warriors for Derek Fisher Sonics: Reggie Evans, Flip Murray, & Vitaly Potapenko to Nuggets for Earl Watson Magic: Steve Francis & Pat Garrity to Knicks for Jamal Crawford, Maurice Taylor & Trevor Ariza

Latest rumor from SI.com has Francis to the Knicks for "a package of players" including Crawford and Maurice Taylor. Just Crawford and Taylor would make it work under the cap, but the use of the term "package" leads me to believe that more than two guys would be involved.

I've been contemplating dealing Mourning for some more 3-point power, but I'd be losing a lot of shot blocking, as I only have one other guy averaging at least one a game (Yao). I have more centers that I know what to do with now, though.

I actually just tested the Frye/Penny for KG trade on the trade ticker a couple hours ago. I'm pretty good at this stuff. Also got Gordon and Thomas to Minny for KG, and to Boston for Pierce and Tony Allen.

*DING DING DING* Brock starts hammering Alf on the mat. COLE And the second fall is under way! CABOOSE That's right, and the first man to draw blood from his opponent will be awarded the fall this time! No pins, submissions or anything of that sort. Brock picks up Alf and holds him in one arm, before planting him with a backbreaker! COLE And Brock with a big backbreaker! Brock shoves Alf off of his knee and plays to the crowd. COACH And Brock can take his time now, because he's up one fall to zero! CABOOSE But he better not give Alf too much time to recuperate, or he'll even up the odds in a hurry! Brock picks up Alf, setting him up for a vertical suplex. He lifts him up in the air, holding him for several seconds, before falling back to the mat! Brock slowly gets to his feet, slapping Alf around a bit, then exits the ring, grabbing a steel chair. COACH And Brock looking for blood already here, and if he can get in a shot on Alf, he'll go up 2-0! Brock lays the chair on the apron, then rolls back into the ring. Alf is slowly getting to his knees, as Brock waves him up. Brock then raises the chair overhead, but Alf pops up and hits Brock with a superkick! COLE And Alf able to dodge going down another fall, at least for now! Both men slowly get to their feet, and Brock charges at Alf in the corner, but Alf gets feet up! Alf then climbs backwards to the top rope. COLE Alf to the top rope, Brock dazed... Alf comes off the top rope, catching Brock with a HURRICANRANA! CABOOSE Well, I called that one, Brock got too concerned with the crowd, and let Alf get his wind back! Alf then grabs the chair off the mat. COLE And now it's Alf with the chair, looking to even the score in this Iron Man contest! Alf cocks the chair back, and Brock wisely turns away and takes the shot on the back! The shot drops Brock to his knees, and Alf delivers another shot to the back! COLE And Brock is down on the mat, as we've hit the ten-minute mark in this contest! Alf sets the chair down, and picks Brock up off the mat, setting up a powerbomb! COACH No way, he won't get him up! Brock is able to stay down, and backdrops Alf onto the chair! COLE And Alf goes back-first onto the steel chair! Brock picks up Alf, and attempts an Irish whip, but Alf reverses and sends Brock into the corner. Alf charges, but Brock backdrops him to the apron! Brock turns around, and catches a thumb to the eye! COACH What a cheap move that was! CABOOSE Who cares? It got Alf out of trouble. Alf attempts to ram Brock's head into the buckle, but Brock blocks, and rams Alf into the ringpost! COLE OH, and that might have done it right there! Alf gathers his senses, and checks his forehead, but fortunately sees no blood. CABOOSE No blood yet, he's still in there! Brock grabs him, and attempts a suplex back into the ring. Alf blocks the first attempt, then the second, before suplexing Brock all the way to the concrete floor! COLE Oh, Brock all the way out to the floor! Alf climbs back into the ring, then leaps onto Brock with a SOMERSAULT PLANCHA~! CABOOSE Great hangtime by Alf, and he's got Brock in trouble again! Alf pounds on Brock, then tosses him back into the ring. Alf then goes under the ring and grabs a KENDO STICK~! The crowd roars its approval. COACH Oh, I don't like this! CABOOSE I do. COACH What? What do have against Brock Ausstin? CABOOSE Nothing. But you said you didn't like it, and I can't be jeopardizing my image by agreeing with you! Alf jumps to the apron, then goes to the top rope. Alf leaps off, but Brock catches him on the mat, and gives him an overhead belly-to-belly! COLE And Brock able to come up with a great counter! COACH Oh, and now Brock's got the chair back! Brock waits on Alf to turn around, and swings it right into Alf's skull! Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! CABOOSE Oh man, that's got to do it! Alf stays down on the mat for a few seconds, then gets up to reveal blood spots on the mat. COACH Yes, that's it! Alf's bleeding! The referee runs around and sees Alf's forehead, and calls for the bell! *DING DING DING* BUFFER [i]The winner of the second fall...BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCK AUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NN!!!!![/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [b]Score[/b] Brock: 2 Alf: 0 Time remaining: 47:38 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ COLE And Brock has taken a commanding lead in the match, he's up 2 falls to 0! Let's go back to Tony Schiavone! Reject is seen pacing around, while Rick Heyross is overjoyed. TONY All right, thanks Michael...Rick Heyross obviously estatic over this turn of events, his man Brock Ausstin up 2-0! It's time again, go ahead and spin the wheel! Heyross spins the wheel, with a confident look on his face. Some of the confidence leaves him, however, when he sees the result of the spin. TONY A SUBMISSION match! Reject turns around and claps his hands once, feeling more confident about Alf's chances. TONY You know the drill here, the winner of the fall will be the man who can force a submission out of his opponent! Back out to Cole, Coach, and Caboose at Sofa Central! (12:52)

When Eddie Gill gets in the game, you know you're kicking ass.

I hope the Pistons don't trade for Claxton or Brevin Knight, as has been rumored, because they're putting up good numbers for my fantasy teams.

I just made this one. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/trad...18~19~19~7~7~18 When reading this, keep in mind that I wasn't thinking of how this would actually make the respective teams better, but just using most of the guys who had been mentioned recently in trade rumors.

No clue. I'm not sure why the Blazers would want to trade Przybilla, either.
