Quick Update

by Jordan Sams on Dec 17, 2009 1:58 PM PST

I'm a couple hours away from boarding a flright to Boston for the Holidays. TAFKA Mike Bourn will be filling in for me while I'm gone. Be nice.
I'll be joining Derrick Bodner and Brian from Depressed Fan on their radio show tonight. Go here to listen. It's scheduled from 8-9 eastern. If you can't listen live, I'm told the recording will be posted on that same website later this evening. That way you can listen to it while you work, on the treadmill, or my personal favorite, during a steamy love session with your wife. Cause what's better than hearing my voice in the background during any of these situations? Hearing Derrick's and Brian's voices too. Do it.
I'll be at the game tomorrow night. It'll be my first pro NBA experience not counting the summer league or pre-season. I'll post at least one picture via twitter.
Feel free to e-mail me your apologies when the Cowboys upset the Saints on Saturday night. samsj@unlv.nevada.edu.
Most importantly, have a super Christmas and I'll see you -- virtually anyway -- when I get back.

It will be

A festivus miracle if the Sixers win tomorrow night.

Better chance without Iverson playing

Except of course that AI’s minutes will be going to some combo of Green and Ivey.

I’m holding out hope that he makes the right choice on the starting line up (hint, elton brand starts, willie green don’t)

Saints undefeated at home, and what month is it again?

F/C Marreese Speights, the Sixers’ top reserve, returned three weeks early from a partially torn left MCL to play against Cleveland. He had participated in the Sixers’ previous four practices, but Sixers coach Eddie Jordan had said two days earlier that the original six- to eight-week timetable still held. “I didn’t want to reveal that he was playing, actually,” said Jordan after the loss to Cleveland. Speights had 14 points in 22 minutes against the Cavaliers.

Further proving Eddie Jordan is truly a tool.

I wish he didn’t rush back, although I loved seeing him out there. We need more L’s and Speights isn’t going to help us in that regard.

by Sorry About Dresden on Dec 17, 2009 8:50 PM PST up reply actions

Speights is still likely to play tomorrow

They are not saying he re-injured the MCL. he just knocked knees (although that’s how he got hurt in the first place.)

Have fun in Boston. The Garden should be a great place to be at for your first real game.

And I wont mind too much if the Cowboys pull this one out, because that should mean a shootout, and I have both Brees and Romo in a 2 QB league in the championship thats a week earlier than usual. Had Clark against Peyton tonight that turned out alright

So I haven’t been following our odds, but still surprised Boston are only 11.5 pt favorites with us losing 13/14. I guess its because it was an old rivalry and even more our losses have all been in the 5 pt range.

Well it’s not as simple as ‘losing’ iverson – i think the line stays the same becuse green can put up useless points like iverson can :)

Green is starting tonight, brand is not

You've got to be kidding me

You’re writing about the NBA and you’ve never been to an NBA game? What the hell is the matter with this situation?

Hai guize imma write this nuclear power safety book, I have used many microwaves in my day!

by Granville W on Dec 18, 2009 9:23 PM PST reply actions

Hmmm…what’s the matter with this situation is that you know very little or possibly nothing about the person who writes this blog like the fact that maybe where he grew up there are no NBA teams, or the fact that you’re not funny either?

by jemagee on Dec 19, 2009 8:50 AM PST up reply actions

I don’t care about his situation. I do care that I’d never trust someone on basketball who has never, I don’t know, NEVER BEEN TO AN NBA GAME. I could read a book and get really up to date on Canadian Pro-League Curling, I could even watch some games locally but I’d sure as hell never publish an opinion on it.

Also, me > you. Don’t forget that.

Yeah, you’re going to last a long while here.

Questioning the knowledge of a writer on the NBA who has never been to an NBA game prior to Friday? I ain’t gonna whine like a butthurt sissy for getting banned for that. I understand it, because this entire network is built upon former SEO keyword squatters and other bullshit artists rather than knowledgeable basketball writers. Good for you for participating in that swindle but I’m calling bullshit on it, Peaches.
