[kdub]

Didn't see a thread for this so yeah. Go Nets!

 

[kdub]

Game starting! Gonna be interesting to see AI in a pistons uniform. And see how Devin contains him.

Isrus is working on one. I'm about to leave, can another mod edit it in when he posts it?

 

[kdub]

It's Ian Eagle! And Spanarkel, ugh.

BTW, NBA League Pass Broadband quality is stunning. I had to download an update to my adobe flash (was prompted to do so), but the quality and speed/smoothness seems much improved. Somewhere between SD and HD quality.

 

[sunhead]

Go Nets Good to See Ian N Jim Back!!!!!!!

 

[Belarus]

I wanna see us learn lesson from every loss and play better every game. No hopes for positive result tonight though.

Woops sorry Isrus! Didn't mean to steal your thunder or anything. Mods feel free to completely destroy my original thread when Isrus is done.

If you're in the US, NBA is doing a free preview (till 11/11) of their NBA LeaguePass Broadband where you can stream the games online. It's the YES feed on my end.

Both players are the highest scorers for their respective teams. They have identical PPG with 20. If the Nets want to contend in this game, they'll need Carter to outbattle Hamilton.
