another win

im really starting to like this team more and more. Lets keep it up on this streak of road games. it's nice to see we can win without Derrick having a huge game. Ronnie, Omer, Loul, and Noah on D are

Lets keep it rolling

Killing the central division!

Good to see Noah getting back to his old self.
Thibs gotta start finding more minutes for Kurt.

16 games this month

13-3

what do you all think about our next four on the road vs WAS, ATL, ORL and MIA? I know the calls will be turrible next Sunday on south beach, otherwise, we should be able to go at least 3-2 on this trip (counting the win tonight)

I think 3-2 is realistic.  I think there's a good chance there'll be L's at ATL and MIA.

 

[antbanks81]

If we can just stay close in that MIA game, I think we will be ok. I expect the officiating to be biased, so we gotta play our @@*%+ off. No way ESPN/ABC lets Bron bron get swept at home on Nat'l tv. I think we are capable of beating them though. The ATL game might not be as bad since they are still just getting to know Kirik. He is the better player for the team, but they can't have that chemistry just yet.

We really need to blow out the Wiz tomorrow. It'll give us a good confidence boost heading into the next 3 games, and at this point we can't lose to anymore sub .500 teams.

If that's the case, I like it.  It doesn't hurt to add another shooter with decent size.

I remember watching Chicago Hoops when I was younger and I thought he was going to be the 2nd coming of Shaq.

The Los Angeles Clippers have bought out Rasual Butler, and he plans to sign with the Chicago Bulls, a league source told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher.

Butler must clear waivers before he can sign with the Bulls.

Butler had the best scoring season of his career in 2009-10, averaging 11.9 points and 2.9 rebounds. This season he's averaged 5.0 points and 1.9 rebounds.

Butler is making $2.4 million in the last year of his contract.

Don't know where he will fit in, might be able to give Lu a break for a couple of minutes so he doesn't have to play 40+ mins a night.  Im just not ready to try to work somebody in when we are playing so well

I'm looking at this optimistically.  I don't think this will be like the Devin Brown signing two years ago.

 

[antbanks81]

I like the move if it comes to fruition. He shoots about 36% from 3 for his career and is another big body with long arms to mesh with the defense. I would like to see Lu get a break every now and then, great to see him healthy!

 

[prostaffer]

Damn,

There go all my Jerry Stackhouse dreams.

 

[antbanks81]

I betJerry is thinking the same thing!

 

[prostaffer]

lol

Miami lost. I like that baby. Something good happened tonight.

 

[futuristic]

I've alway liked Rasual, but this move doesn't do much for me.

Don't dare bring up his name

.

Can't front guys i was cheering for the Knicks tonight

gotta catch Miami in the standings

 

[cato312]

I couldn't help it man.  I couldn't think of another bad mid-season signing in recent memory.  I remember being a little excited when he was signed, and then he got into a game

He doesn't get much in the way of rebounds or steals, but at least it's a 6-7 body that can hit an outside shot once in awhile. CBS has him listed as a 2 guard.

Like I said a few weeks ago. If we can bring a 2/3 off the bench that allows Brewer to start I think we will be better.

damn right yall! we won without even playing tonight!
