Rookie-Soph game!

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Its tonight, isn't it? What time? Predictions?

This is Oden and Rudy's 3rd night in a row of ball, plus Rudy has the dunk contest tomorrow night. I expect both will be playing limited minutes for an All-Star game.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

nah. rudy will be MVP!

It is at 6pm PST. I think the Rookies will win, but Rudy and Oden will not have much of an impact. Rose and Mayo are going to go nuts.

I just want him to have some legs left to dunk on Dwight tomorrow night.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I say Rudy shoots a minimum of 7 or 8 3's.

Do they have 6 foul limit in the game? I see Oden getting some monster blocks.

Mayo wins MVP!

I wonder if Greg will try to block any shots?

 

[THE HCP]

I don't know if you guys saw it during the game last night, but Greg banged knees with Maggette! He seemed to be fine the rest of the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play more then 15 minutes. I remember when Sabas played in the game, I think he played something like 2 minutes!

The best Rookie-Sophmore game ever.

Mainly because we have 2 rookies in it, but also because of Durant vs. Oden.

Oden with 40/20/10 and MVP honors.

Who do you think will start at Center for the rooks? IMO, it definitely should be Brook Lopez.

Great first post.

I like what Thorpe had to say about the players today, espcially Oden. Is this a cheap shot at Portland's offense? Its a true statement, thats for sure.

If Oden enjoys running rim to rim and fighting hard for position, the lack of solid defending will translate into a guaranteed dunkfest for him. He's just too big not to be a force in a game like this, as long as his teammates throw him the ball.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

This will be the first time we see Greg coached properly!

I live in PHX and will be enjoying the game live. Not rubbing it in, just stating a fact.

HCP's?

 

[tlongII]

HCP's sig is disturbing!

No jersey, kids will be wearing their Suns jerseys. No matter how much I ground them, they refuse to be Blazer fans, something about them being born in PHX.

Does anybody know the rules about cameras in NBA arena, Can I take any camera in??

What's wrong with a large, wet, mass coming hard out of the middle of Uncle Sam's interior and heading fast across the screen to the east?

I think it has to do with Lens size.....

That's alright, you'll be able to gloat them while we're winning championships in the next 8-10 years, and the suns are rotting in mediocrity.

Oden's gonna miss the game.

It's probably for his own good.

Lame.

He bumped knees and went out of the game. He came back in and made big cuts and rebounded fine. I imagine he woke up today with some day after soreness. I understand you probably want to make this very dramatic and long-drawn out, but I highly doubt it is serious considering the cuts he was making after returning last night.
