Welcome to OTR!

Not West. We don't need him at all. Maybe someone like Leon Powe or Anderson Varejao as we're pretty thin at the forward position. I'm really not sure though. Going into this season I thought we'd definitely be trading Redd but now I'm getting the vibe that they think we can contend with this team and don't want to make any big changes. We'll see though.

Bucks lead 47-41 at the half. Jennings looked damn impressive. His statline is something you'd expect from a veteran, not a player playing in his first NBA game. He has 10 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds which leads the team. Despite shooting less than 50% from the field, Redd leads the team with 12 points. Like I said earlier, Bogut has looked terrible. It's like he doesn't even want to be out there right now. His 4 points to go along with a lousy 2 rebounds in 13 minutes is laughable for a first overall pick. He's been slow, indecisive, and just flat out bad. Hopefully he can turn it around in the 2nd half because he should really be averaging a double-double if we expect to go anywhere this season. At this rate he'll be lucky to get 10 of anything.

Actually I lied. I can watch this on FSN Wisconsin, just not NBA Broadband. Jennings is looking great for this being his first regular season game. Bogut is looking like a waste of space. He's been very sluggish and can't even seem to get a rebound. Redd has been jacking up poor shots (as expected). However we just went on a 18-6 run to take the lead at 40-36.

I can't even watch this game on TV or NBA Broadband. [expletive] blackouts. Sell some damn tickets for [expletive] sake.

wtf? Sometimes I wonder...

Add Brandon Jennings to the "Rookie" section and I may participate. ^_^

Knicks because it can't be the Bucks. Clippers because I have a gut feeling.

Well, it's game day! Apparently Jennings is getting the start over Ridnour. He had a pretty impressive preseason so let's hope that can carry into the real deal. We're going to need to limit Redd's touches if we want to have a chance. We're going to need to feed Bogut throughout the game in order to get some high percentage looks. We don't have much depth so hopefully we can at least keep it close when Bogut, Jennings, and Redd are all out of the game.

Go OKC!

I don't think there's any question that the Cavs win this game. The only real question is by how much?

Not FanIQ or BoDog. It's more like Cent Sports except you don't actually get money. You just get points so it's more to see who can pick sports outcomes the best.

Nope. Halloween is a joke.

Being from Wisconsin I can almost guarantee that he will be booed. Either way though, I'll be cheering for him.

I loved the Clippers one.

I'd have to take Wade. It seems as if LeBron forces too many "iffy" shots towards the end of games. Hopefully he can learn from those mistakes and instead look for a good shot or drive the lane opposed to taking garbage shots out of desperation.

You must have missed my post stating that this book has been cancelled anyway. Publisher backed out due to pressure from the NBA.

I never mentioned anything about the Lakers. Like I said, this is all in the past. The only thing that should matter now is this season. You can't go back in time and alter the outcome of any given series but you can control your destiny of the 09-10 season. Let's focus on that instead of the past.

Don't take everything so personally. No need to hate on the Heat now.

Last year sometime I came across this sports pick community type site where you could post picks and get points for wins or whatever. The layout was black and overall dark colored. I really liked the site as well as the design but have been unable to find this site as of late. My reason for this post is that I thought maybe someone could help me find this as it's starting to irritate me. Maybe my searching skill just suck, I don't know.

I bet the NBA did threaten them in some sort. There's no other reason that this book would be pulled as it would certainly be a hit among all basketball fans dying for the truth. My guess would be that he'll just find a new publisher and that he will get his story out - no matter what it takes. He has nothing to lose now.

You don't have to take the exam but yes, that is the purpose of the whole thing.

UPDATE: This book has been cancelled by the publisher. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4603209

He realizes his NBA career isn't going anywhere so he might as well give music a chance too.
