Can't tell you much about Jmax because I left at the beginning of the 4th.

Delfino palyed tight D, took it to the rack on one ocassion, like to see him do theat continuously.

McDyess had a couple cheap fouls, of course he cried to refs about them both, little scoring, many uneccesary fouls.

Lindsay didn't play as much as I anticipated for this game, at least the 3 periods I watched.

Thanks Army,
If we keep getting that kinda effort from Delk & Delfino we're going a long way in the playoffs.

Love to give you a JMax update Merc, but I turned the game off at that point. Case of Wizard Reflux brought on by bad D and spicy ribs.

Merc, "Spank Happens" very strong.
Often an average team will blow off a "should win" to get a "must/want win" the next day. Not sure who is our next date but it will be for the 50th W. I had a feeling the 50th would be tough to get and I guess it's still not too late to say that.

thanks thee... but it wasn't changing of garments, it was renting of garments. renting as in tearing. it's what people do in the old testament when they're upset about things they can't control...deaths and plagues and the like.

So they tore their clothes up, in frustration? AAaRRRRHHHH

Thanks

Fairly unimpressive I'd say. He got in for the last six or so and pretty much goose-egged across the board - took a shot, hit one freebie, missed another, got a board, turned the ball over once. He tried a couple of those hard runs to the hoop but didn't end up anywhere close. I'd say it was the most uninspired I've seen him.

Of course, there wasn't much of anything you could call an offense being run while he was in so...

HAHAHAHA, I watched this game but missed this part.

After Flip got a T and Arenas missed the free throw, Flip yells out "Ball don't lie!"

I think you mean rending, as in tearing. Renting of garments is usually done for high school proms or weddings. In an historical context a powder blue, or pastel green tux could be rent after it had been rented.

Definitely a bright spot the other night. Flip showing a little spirit.

Where are America's entreprenuers? Why isn't there a "ball don't lie" t-shirt? (With "that ball don't lie" on the back)

Though "got sheed" from need4sheed is pretty nice.

I do mean rending, as you say Caliban, and rending is the more common word nowadays, relatively speaking. But in the name of pedantic accuracy and saving my good academic name I must point out that in my Oxford English Dictionary there is "renting": "the action of rending or tearing." Apologies for any confusion caused my use of the obsolete form.

I'm glad I didn't go near that "renting" word.
