Denver dropped 168 on Seattle tonight, they’re probably not even going to make the playoffs. I’d give anything for San Antonio to be the odd team out, but sadly that’s still incredibly unlikely.

On Houston’s win over the Lakers:
“There wasn’t a time where we wavered from successful team basketball,” Battier said. “Different guys hit shots and we tightened the reins on defense.”

I wonder when I’ll hear someone on the Knicks make a similar statement.

I really wish we had traded Nate Rob for Josh Childress. Atlanta needed a point prior to the Bibby signing. J-Child shoots such a high percentage, plays pretty good D. Good character guy.

His contract expires this year, so we wouldn’t had had to keep him at a high price. It would have been a nice “free” try-out.

Isiah’s got some really weird substitution patterns, even for him. Lee played 7 mins the 1st quarter then sat for the rest of the half, for no discernable reason. Then he let Morris foul out in the 3rd quarter. Zach was playing a solid game, yet he’s yet to play in the 3rd quarter.

In an airport lounge, looks like the Knicks are making a game of it at least. Why has Lee only played 15 minutes? And why has Chandler played 27 minutes. What does 0-7 look like from the lad?

Hope they win, I think…

Does Zach Randolph remind any of you of Derrick Coleman? I thought about it after watching Zach find a cutting Balkman for a layup.

They each plaw PF, they each having scoring ability, range on the jumper, good rebounders, les than desireable D.

Zach seems to have a ton of talent and seems to be able to do anything he wants pretty well. But he seems to lack an interest in maximizing his talent.

If it turns out that we are stuck with Zach, what if anything can we do to make the most out of this player?

Nate has 12 shots in one quarter.

Maybe he can get a 50 shot game tonight.

Hmm.
