Bucks @ Home

This will be a boxed set version of Scott's Shots, as I was busy juggling hosting a box, going to my seats, and looking after a 9 month old....

- Raps are back to comping and discounting tickets to schools again to pump up attendance. Cool by me, though, since it helps create a homecourt environment.
- MLSE sent out a survey recently asking opinions of in-house entertainment. Guess I wasn't alone in complaining about it. The new video and the U2 crap does nothing to get people pumped.
- Garbo comes out playing hard. Great swat early on.
- this game could get to 140-120 if they don't slow down hitting the threes. It's like 2 boxers coming out and going stroke for stroke.
- Juan Dixon is SMALL. I mean S M A L L. He's also still learning, but at least he is listening to his teammates as opposed to jumping in feet first and assuming he can get it done on his own.
- CV is in rare company: actually got nice applause when he entered the game.
- speaking of CV, he is showing no ill affects of his injury.
- Raps cannot break the zone. If this is still a prize fight, the Bucks just hit an uppercut.
- Guess Bargs decided to one-up Vince of old and stay and play a game.
- the double teams on Bosh are incredibly fast and effective. He looks helpless.
- well, one good thing for the Raps now that the shots are back to normal: more opportunity to learn how to rebound.
- my castle to the person that can teach Bosh how to hit free throws.
- men drinking wine is like a male dog squating to pee.
- if you had to pick 20 guys to play in a pickup game, you could do much worse than Michael Redd.
- Bogut was angry about playing time and touches earlier in the year. The anger looks to have been recognized. He got some nice touches. I wonder why he doesn't hustle more though.
- is it just me or does the home team tonight remind you of last year's home team? One improvement is ball movement, bless their hearts, but nothing is falling now and only token defense is being shown.
- this Bucks team is a great example of why I say that this season has been an incredibly odd one. They still aren't at complete full strength but they are running and hitting like the Bucks of old. I don't care, though...we have been decimated in the past, so lump it.
- so, 2nd best team in 2007, playing well above their anticipated abilities, #1 in their division....and you boo them. Classy. Admit defeat by a better team tonight and re-load.
- I don't think the Raps are this bad, even considering how much I have been critical. They had a bad luck night. What the did do, though, was cancel out the Houston win. They need to play well in Cleveland and take advantage of a reeling team.

Pacers 4th quarter

- THE WHEELS HAVE FALLEN OFF!!!
- crowd is trying to boo, but for once the supporters are louder. Small victory.
- bosh sucks on defence.....there,I said it.
- thank God for the 3 point line.
- so, if the Raps lose, who is to blame? Just curious.
- pizza at 5:12 left
- Carlisle's mom and dad and his daughters are here...dead ringers.
- bosh should have finishedon the foul by Granger.....got to do it.
- slokar sighting!
- good game by the Raps....still need huge help on D. Even the help defence is lacking. Great win against the conference foes.

Pacers 3rd quarter

- gotta admit the starting 5 are on fire.
- TJ has to learn he is a better distrbutor than driver....and the sooner the better
- Garbo has an incredible line growing
- if Bosh learns to go left and take the baseline, he will earn the allstar tag.
- dance pak in jeans and jackets....hawt

Pacers second quarter

- Humphries is released and cuts his hair.
- I am beginning to wonder if Bargs' 3pt shots are cancelling off his lack of D.
- Mo was looking better than ever.
- the Centresports King ad drives me nuts...it's just plain annoying.
- Jose makes you look like a pylon....take note.
- is it just me or is Garbo picking up more ticky tack fouls lately?
- has Joey slid down the bench?
- what is up with Mo's lack of courtvision? Bargs wide open and you drive and commit the charge.
- told ya we should get Armstrong.

Pacers quarter one

- nice moment of silence for DJ
- good fast start
- Granger is bulking up with age.
- Bosh on Tinsley and he doesnt crowd him ?? Easy 3.
- why oh why does Tinsley always kick our ass?
- drunk loud people piss me off
- Rasho is playing great D on Jermaine, pushing him out. Full quarter for Rasho too...

Clippers fourth quarter

Doug hand signal count is at 4. All from the bench of course. Havent seen jackie.
How invisible was joey graham tonight?
We want christie chant starts at 4:25 of the fourth
Raps have impressively kept Brand off the boards in the last 2 quarters

Clippers third quarter

Jesus...the raps DID use that magette play and with parker.  Right out of the gate in the fourth. I should be a coach.
Welcome back, garbo.
This 6 year old beside me just said "feed him, he is wide open". Now THAT is good parenting.
Rasho 2pts 2brds 2fouls. I heart you.
This is wild..i type something in and the crappy players heat up. Kudos to Rasho for a good board, grabbing the ball off the floor and a great assist to garbo for 3
Both in the first and third quarter, kaman is in a huddle, breaks out of it, throws a towel and sits by himself...interesting.
Livingston and cassell are yiping at each other on the court
Bosh looks for a foul rather than go for the board = cassell for 3.
Cassell and livinston make up.
Brand owns bosh defensively.

Clippers second quarter

Missed free throw, popped out by the clips, back behind the arc, 3pt play, 5pt swing.
What has been wrong with Garbo lately? Touch of Fred Jonesitis?
Is there a better nonhyped player in the league than cuttino mobley
Livingston in the paint against 4 raps...who gets the board?
Funny how guys dressed in sumo suits always brings out the laughs.
The clips play with the quick pass to the high arc as magette cuts from the baseline to the paint is great. Love to see the raps run that with parker.
Garbo on brand....garbos chance to shine defensively.
Dunleavy works the refs everytime down the floor and i'd say it has given him at least 2 calls so far.

Quarter 1 vs Clips.

Dougie bald, kaman with a haircut....must be warm in LA
Always amazes me how "small" Elton appears. Quite the rebound talent for his size
Must be nice to feel like you are playing ball at 9am
Must be a big game if Bob Saget is here. Guess he couldnt swing super bowl tickets
You know, it always amazes me that people cant find their seats. I mean, seriously...section row seat. Pretty easy. Got a letter as a row? Still not difficult really
Jose still starting....must be guaranteed win night
Love the clips unis...classic
These clips are running. Garbo is having a tough time keeping up with ross.
Jose to chris 3/4 court through 3 clips...no way TJ does that
Elton vs bosh garbo and bargs. Who gets the board twice in the same play?
Brand 9/6/2 in the first quarter, mostly against bosh. Crazy. Who would trade this guy, even in a fantasy league?
