We need to defense the 3 point shot tonight - the Knicks are taking almost 30 three pointers a game. Their percentage isn't great, but on any given night, who knows what can happen. Joe's toe looks like it is still bothering him - he winced noticably a couple of times during Wednesday's game.

Just got back from Philips...decent game. Wish we would have built on that 20+ point lead, but a fairly easy win. Great to see Josh back. He looked as sooth as ever, in sync with the team. I don't think he played more than 5 minutes at a time. ZaZa looked like his shoulder was much better. Only one high flying backdoor slam from Josh, but he looked great going to the basket. Looking forward to the Knicks on Friday to see if we can defend the 3 pointer - they average almost 30 per game from downtown!

T-Mac being out won't have much effect - Houston has plenty of scorers. If Yao was out, that would have a good effect for us. I think they will be the 2 seed in the West. If we can play like we did against the Celtics, we can beat them. It will take a great game from the Hawks.

Same as DrR - thankful for health, family's health, my job looks OK for now and friends. Also thankful we have a better Hawks team - we can even complain when they win! Happy Thanksgiving all.

I'll take .500 on the road, even though we are better than the nets. Even mediocre teams will get hot at home once in a while. Let's see if we can get another winning streak going tonight. GO HAWKS!!!

I think we will miss Josh's defense more than his offense.

Great comeback! Phillips got pretty loud at the end. I'm not sure who those guys were wearing Hawks uniforms in the first half, but I'm glad the real Hawks showed up. That east basket (the one the Hawks start on in the first half) was cold all night - the Hawks second half defense helped with that. There was never any panic with our guys. Even Woody kept playing the bench when we were down. It is so nice having our guys with gas in their tank to finish the game. The next months schedule is a bear. I hope we can hang in there until we get to the eight straight at home in December. Thank you JJJJoe Johnson.

I really like Mo. I will miss Chilz, but this guy may work out. At the beginning of last year, we had only one guy I wanted to take threes, JJ. Now we have: JJ, Bibby, Mo, Acie (I hope his confidence is here), Flip (if he doesn't shoot every time he has a shot) and Duckb...er Marvin (can he make- em?). Let's get it started! I am so there for the first home game against Philly.

Just got back from the game. Good to see the non starters getting so many minutes. Acie- looking confident, didn't score as much as Monday - Nash and Singletary are both pretty quick defenders. Made a nice 3 when covered well with time running out. Solo - played better than on Monday, good hustle. Othello - looked good while in there, a couple of nice moves in the paint. Mo - good defence, solid offence. He is going to be a very nice 6th man. Flip - the more I see of him the more I like him. Good stroke from the outside and made a tough driving layup. Bibby, Marvin and Speedy were suited out on the bench. Didn't even shoot any warmups, but I liked that they were there with the team. Shaq and Amare were there in suits and didn't really interact with their team. Of course the final Kiss Cam shot was of Shaq - he was pretty funny. stuck out his tongue to french kiss the guy next to him, thankfully it didn't happen. We coulda/shoulda won this game - a couple of easy shots missed down the stretch. Although Shaq and Amare didn't play, this is one of the deepest teams out there, and one of the best in the West. I'm optimistic. We have a tough schedule through mid December - then we get 8 in a row at home. Gotta stay healthy and win some on the road. Acie and I forget who else were wearing the single long white long "sleeve", ala AI , Mello and Kobe. Mo and Josh had a single black long "sleeve". Is this just for fashion?

80% of the Houston area is still without power as of Sunday afternoon. Lots of cleanup will be needed for several weeks. I wish my old hometown a quick recovery!

That was a great article. Thanks. :Applause: :Applause:

My ears are still ringing. Stood up the last half of the fourth quarter, waving my towel and hollering my tail off. No regular season game comes close.

Oh yea. Section 103, row M.

Decent game for a back to backer. I did get nervous when Bibby got hurt- looks like he will be OK. Now for the highlights: It's their duty to shake their booty! The three on the left are pretty cute! The Home Depot skit is pretty boring. But they have to make money for the sponsers. The top of Jenifer's outfit looks smaller than the other girls. They are real and they are spectacular! Oops. Missed one on the right. They only get on the court three times or so per game. Whats up with that? Other teams dancers get on the court nearly every time there is a break. Some cuties. Some we could trade. Enjoy!
