    Other things that didn't show up on TNT were when the players were warming up. For example, JR smith did his first dunk from the NBA slam dunk competition when he grabbed the ball from one hand to the other behind his back and then dunking it. Lebron James also had some very cool warm up dunks. Steve Francis also bounced the ball off the floor grabbed and dunked it, looked pretty sweet. Just some things that didn't show up on tv.

    T-Mac is the real shiznit. It shows how serious and determined he is about next year. He trained very hard and worked hard on his game as if there's actually something he can improve upon. He looks in midseason form already. His range is incredible. Nobody has Mac's range. And he makes look so easy too. It reminded me of the game against Washington where he scored 62.

    He's the total package. He's the most unique comibnation of size, passing ability, athleticism, quickness, ballhandling and shooting skill in NBA history.

    Charles B was teasing him about his skinny legs, but T-Mac looked bigger to me. I have watched enought Rox hoops to know when a player looks different. He looked bigger in the upper body and lower. His legs are so long that he will look skinny no matter how much muscle he puts on.

    Can't wait for the season to start

    JVG needs to make this a standard play this season ... "So uh, Yao set a pic for Tracy across half court ..."

    How would teams stop that?

    Damn Supermac, that huge picture is making me scroll sideways in order to read the posts.

    NBA.com has the play of the night and the Dunk of the night (Both involving TMAC!)

    Most fun Ive ever had at a basketball game I was not playing in. Ive always wanted to be up close. Im the dude that, during garbage time, when everyones leaving, am sneaking down to court level to get a glimpse of the NBA up close–to see the game for what it really is. First row 116 about even with the 3pt arc from start to finish this time! So sweet. 25 bucks. Benefiting folk in trouble. Great fun.

    The game: When I got to my seat Artest, JR Smith, and one or two others were out warming up, stretching. Then Charles, R Lewis, and others began trickling out of the tunnel. All the players were horsing around, just shooting jumpers and what not. Layup drills then morphed into a dunk fest! LeBron James threw down the best stuff.

    KG is Tall. C Boozer is friggin built. Man, you have got to love Mike James. Guy played like he owned the place even with all the better players out there. He played good, not great or anything. But not an ounce of hesitation in his game.

    Tracy nailed two long_______ threes in a row, and rattled out a mid court corner three, as he and Arenas were having a bit of a showdown that everyone, including the players, were enjoying. His release is effortless no matter what the distance!

    Got bunches of pix that Ill post tomorrow after I get them processed.

    Wow not a single Spurs there. Mavs had avery johnson represent them. I mean geeze talk about a group of guys I am starting to hate more and more. They have added that extra game in the preseason but it's not like this game where players are out there donating their own money for the cause. This gives me just even one more reason to hate the SPURS with a passion.
