[WTF]

CHI @ CLE
DAL @ PHO
NOK @ GSW

Not a heavy night for bball action, but with the new Bulls facing off against my Cavaliers, I'll be watching. Thus far, I'm dissappointed in our start, but I look forward to how we pick it up tonight against this young, athletic team.

Dallas severly needs a win against Phoenix, but I don't see it happening. It all rests on Amare's shoulders tonight, but I see him coming through on the 2nd night of a back to back.

GSW vs NOK, should be an entertaining game. CP3 is having a GREAT year, and the Warriors are seemingly putting it together for a stellar start. Should be a good night of competitive NBA basketball fellas.
Thoughts?

My predictions:

CLE over CHI 97-89
PHO over DAL 103-99
GSW over NOK 93-86

I may be way off, but oh well, that's what I'm predicting anyway.

I want to see the GSW/NOK game. Chris Paul looks really good to start the year, and I want to see how the Warriors look under Nellie.

The Cavs/Bulls game is going to be fun to watch.

I say Bulls win, 96-92.

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

Dallas and Phoenix should be interesting... considering the teams have combined for one win this season.

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

I'll be glued to the TV all night long — Bulls/Cavs, new episode of The Office, Rutgers/Louisville, and Mavs/Suns. Should be a good night.

Cavs 95
Bulls 91

Mavs 112
Suns 104

LOL.

I'll revise my prediction. If LeBron goes for more than 30, the Bulls will lose. If they can hold him to under thirty, they will win.

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

Horrible game for the Bulls. I didn't even come in to watch it because I was stuck in traffic. Funny accident and all. What I'm really liking is how Marion got that dunk over Dirk. I thought the oop was too high. Was just too high for Dirk. Amazing stuff. Amare is looking better. Dang, the Bulls need some offense or something darn it.

They keep on replaying the Marion oop. Funny stuff. I never really have any type of respect for people who dunk on others but man that one was funny. I respect him for reaching for it. Man, Suns are nice. Why Dampier sitting on the bench along with Diop?

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

Because Diop and Damp only have jobs because of their defense, and neither of them can defend a single player on the Suns, so they're just liabilities.

not really true...both are in foul trouble.


between the Mavs and Cowboys, i'm going to go crazy. These damn Mavs do some stupid **** on both ends of the court. I just hope we can get a win...one win...please!

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

Barbosa murders Terry on a drive to the basket....no call....technical on Johnson...Nash hits the FT...comes back down and hits a three...thanks NBA officials.

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

These referees are having a rough night tonight.

That's the problem you have when you make titty foul calls.......... some of those fouls aren't really fouls, and you find yourself having to make make-up calls, like when they call that offensive foul on Nash when he somehow fouled the defender with his back according to the refs......... and they had to make a horrible make-up call after that.

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

WOOHOOOO! Finally, a win!! I've watched all 5 games and losing the first four have been tough. The officiating was horrible on both ends. Stackhouse found the fountain of youth looking like he's 25 again.

Re: Official 11/9 Games Thread

You know, I really, really can't believe how bad the reffing was today.

And before everyone comes back to me and say how the Suns blew it themselves, just spare it.

yeah, the officiating was horrible on both ends. i couldn't believe they didn't call that barbose foul on terry then call the technical on johnson. then they blow the call on nash and instantly gives a makeup call to give the ball back to phoenix. The last foul on Harris was horrible! David Stern thinks nothing is wrong.
