    me too

    TIP:
    there is streamer link posted on reddit mlbstreams called Grandmastreams. It has a cached 3-4 hour timeline, that you can control with your mouse to move forward and back, such that you can start watching like a DVR well after the game starts, and catch up during commercials/pitching changes/etc and pause anytime. I think I watched Game 5 in less than an hour.

    When I turn it on 1-2hours after game starts, I just place my hand over my eyes to not see score, and move timeline to beginning. Then avoid cfnet and watch NBA games.

    wow...HOU-WAS playing both sports same night.

    shouldn't the start time be 7 Eastern? Looks like 8 eastern. You won't be able to avoid spoilers.

    I know the feeling. I bought the Rox-Wiz tickets cheap thinking Verlander would take care of business yesterday. I'm sure they will be showing it somewhere in the arena. The Rockets game should finish around 7th or 8th inning I am guessing.

    Brown Camo Harden Vol 1's (the shark mouth vol 3's are my favorite, but they have Wizard/Nats color scheme so no)
    Hong Kong Fight for Freedom T-Shirt - er no a rocket shirt. Well I'll DVR the game and find myself, I should be a few rows back of the West backboard which I belive is the visitor bench side.

    Seems like Dwight figured it out. Good for him.

    We should Have got him. I am pretty sure he would have signed with anyone who gave him a contract. The Lakers would be in a lot of trouble without him.

    he wouldn't be nearly as effective with us, or really any non-LA team. for the first time in 5yrs he's been allowed to finally play his game without zebras treating him like dogshhit tearing down him down on both ends... only because he now serves a valuable purpose to the league office. on the contrary, the final possession in regulation against DAL was somewhat overpayment of reparations for the past half decade lol

    I think he's going to continue this, he's taken this seriously, it looks like he understands that he could be out of the league like Melo if he doesn't change his act. Apparently has changed his diet and everything.

    Just unfortunate for us, it looks like the Lakers have actually received the Dwight Howard every other team thought they would get. They are the best team in the NBA right now.

    Easy thing for him, he doesn't have to change much of his game.

    Rebounding, Help defense, Rim protection and playing hard ....... even as a star he did just that.

    Doesn't have to play the Roll guy.

    Melo probably has to take less shots, move the ball around, move off the ball and play stifling Defense.
    While coming off the bench.
