MrRant Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Well, at least one Sonic game in HD this week.
alfdogg Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 Turns out I have to work, so I'll probably get home right around the end of the first game. I'll be able to see the whole second game, though...last I heard, Kobe would be ready to go tonight.
Just John Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Should be some decent games tonight. I'm glad they're both on TNT too. I wish the Turner networks could hire like the 2 or 3 good basketball personalities ESPN has then monopolize basketball coverage.
naiwf Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 I think the 1st game has more potential to be close than the second one. If Kobe's knee is not 100% Phoenix wins by at least 12. Miami/Chicago should be close with 6 minutes to go, and then Wade takes over and gives them a 5-7 point victory.
Guest Felonies! Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 I'd love for the Bulls to win this game and start the season with a win over the champs, but you know Kirk Hinrich is going to get fouled if he's even so much as on the same half of the court as Dwyane Wade, soooo.....
razazteca Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Should be some decent games tonight. I'm glad they're both on TNT too. I wish the Turner networks could hire like the 2 or 3 good basketball personalities ESPN has then monopolize basketball coverage. Charles Barkley is the draw for TNT there is no need to bring in any other loud mouth talking head opinion based analysts.
Just John Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 I was thinking of just bringing in Walton and maybe Tolbert for comedy. Certainly don't want that hack Screamin' A or any of the boring, uninsightful analystis like Anthony or Legler. Tonight, I'll be curious to see how Ben Wallace fits in with the Bulls. That's a move I'm not a 100% sure how it'll work because Ben was the product of the Detroit defensive system. I really want to see how he plays out in Chicago.
Guest Felonies! Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Oh man, Barkley and Walton: Better Together
Adam Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 I'm really looking forward to Bulls/Heat tonight, even moreso that I'll actually get to see it. Fox Sports over here has picked up two games a week to go along with the two already broadcast by ESPN. Great to have basketball back.
razazteca Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Oh man, Barkley and Walton: Better Together Walton would be an improvement over Ervin "Magic" Johnson.
Guest Felonies! Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 I missed the pregame show. Is Ernie Johnson doing better? I hope so.
The Robfather Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Are the heat fans usually this dead?
naiwf Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Are the heat fans usually this dead? Yes.
Precious Roy Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Ben was the product of the Detroit defensive system Where do people come up with this shit? Nice to see the Bulls blowout the Heat in Miami.
Red Baron Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Oh man are the Heat ever getting spanked out there.
The Robfather Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 I just turned it back on and its a blowout. Ho hum.
razazteca Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Are the heat fans usually this dead? Yes. So having everybody color coordinate didn't help?
teke184 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Wow... Looks like Chris Duhon is actually becoming a competent starter in this league. (20 points, 3 dimes, 3 rebounds so far)
Precious Roy Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Wow... Looks like Chris Duhon is actually becoming a competent starter in this league. (20 points, 3 dimes, 3 rebounds so far) He put up a triple double in the first game last year. He won't keep up this pace, but he's capable of going off from outside like he has tonight, and is the perfect backup for Hinrich/Gordon as he can play with either. Tyrus Thomas has been getting the shit knocked out of him tonight. First it was Payton hacking him on a fast break layup, then James Posey giving him a mid-air bodycheck. Welcome to the NBA kid. Kobe's not playing tonight. Looks like it's up to Smush and Andrew Bynum.
naiwf Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Not a good start to the NBA season from a competitive match-up standpoint. Both games will have been over by the half at the rate Phoenix is scoring here.
alfdogg Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Posted November 1, 2006 So, what the hell happened in that first game?
razazteca Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 So, what the hell happened in that first game? Jason Williams did not play
The Robfather Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 So, Tyrus Thomas nose was broken?
Kurt Angle Mark Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Not a good start to the NBA season from a competitive match-up standpoint. Both games will have been over by the half at the rate Phoenix is scoring here. I guess you haven't watched many Suns games
Ripper Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Really. But I think they will blow it open in the third. Alot of shots are missing long tonight. Especially on free throws. Alot of the players said the new ball is lighter than the last one. Wonder if that has anything to do with it. They should be used to the new one by now I would think. I would once again like to remind people that I said Thabo Sefolosha would end up being one of the biggest pickups they made in the offseason. He apparently isn't even really in the rotation right now, but since it was a blow out, people got to see him do some things tonight. The guy is really really really really really really good.
alfdogg Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Posted November 1, 2006 Yeah, I walked into BW3's after work, and saw the score of the game, and was like "God DAMN." Seriously, was Williams the only key guy who didn't play?
Guest Felonies! Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Cool win, and one that's much needed for my Chicago sports fan morale, what with the Blackhawks losing their sixth straight (though breaking the goal drought at like 230 minutes) and the general pain of the Chicago Cubs always looming. But hey. Bears and Bulls. Take what we can get here.
teke184 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Ouch... Ugly debut for my boy Tyrus Thomas. 16 minutes before he got his nose broken, although he did pick up 6 boards, 2 assists, a steal, and 4 points in that time. (While not wonderful, it is the kind of stuff they should expect from Wallace's understudy.) Hopefully they'll get him one of those clear face-protectors so that he can get right back into the swing of things.
