I'm out here delivering and installing HD cable boxes today, so I'll be watching like oldskool on tape delay, like the good ol days. Itll be a good battle in the middle with Lanier battling his old rival , Jim Chones. Look for Rowe and Bing to have easy goings vs Austin Carr and Bingo Smith's defense. Look for Jim Cleamons to take Bing late....

Yeah that nasty Laimbeer guy keeps hacking Phil Hubbard... but I'd trade the two.

In my world,Laim is still at Notre Dame, though.....

I think we'll see some Dale Davis back in the mix today to help shut down Z.

Chat is open and will stay open through to the Superbowl.

Please stay friendly and have fun.

Who else here enjoyed that thrilling ice skating action?

What a fabulous warm-up for the new NBA.

I dislike the dancing dolls opening routine, Michelle Tafoya makes me want to claw my eyes out, and Mike Breen is a horrible announcer.

Lucky us that they have Mark Jackson. Count those small blessings...

I remember when I thought that it was unacceptable to force Rasheed to have to cover for McDyess's woeful defense.

That was before I saw McDyess trying to cover for Webber.

Nice road win. We played the starters too many minutes.

Sheed silences his detractors with a 15/13 game and a lot of aggressive paint play.

I'll take a win everyday but Flip Saunders is reverting back to his old ways and playing the starters down to a nub. Rip was almost injured in this game (running into the brickwall of LeBron) and Flip puts him back into the game the first chance he gets. Maxiell has a beast of a game just a few nights ago and he's back to 5 minutes. Isn't this what sunk the Pistons last year? I'm liking the defense though it looked pretty good today and Lindsey can still be a junk yard dog guarding his man like his life depended on it.
