I agree, very unclassy to call a woman a boy. Wince has every right to be offended.
So, Hose B only plays 12 and a half minutes, and the Raptors put up one of their best defensive games of the year: Houston's offensive rating was 75.3 points per 100 possessions, 32.4 p/100p less than their average on the year; Houston's eFG% was .384, .101 less than their average on the season; their TO% was .216, .073 higher than their average on the year. Impressive performance from the Hoseless Raps - coincidence?
TB, whats the min bet on Pinnacle, I want to join and drop $10 on the Colts.
Happy B-Day Mr. Kennedy.
I'm not going to attribute the good defensive showing to Calderon being out quite yet. only 3/4 of a game and even Calderon deserves a bigger sample than that. If the trend continues however, I would love trade 31 mill worth of contracts, which it seems we really don't need at all.
TB: You've had a few post about ridiculous team names before, so how about the nickname of my FA black horse this year, Hartlepool: Monkey Hangers!
Citeh on its way to being knocked out of the FA by Forrest as well.
Sure can, ROTR...even down to a buck or two if I'm not mistaken. Be sure to hit this link (and pass it on!):

Oh, and happy birthday mr. B
Thanks TB, signed up and put $5 on the Falcons and $10 on the Colts. Fuck Pro-Scam.
Another comes to the light...
May the winners be ours ROTR, I'm on both as well!
