Hey, maybe we should start making a list of all the nicknames that we’ve come up here for the players – just to see who’s got the most… just a thought…

3 things I saw that I really liked:

#1 Allen Iverson caught smiling.
#2 Walter Herrmann caught smiling.
#3 Tayshaun Prince caught smiling.

Winning is fun, isn’t it guys?

Don’t forget to vote Tay for the All Star team.

I think Tay’s gold metal has gone to his head.

I just don’t have that player on the team that is my player that guy that does all the little things without even worrying about putting up a certain amount of shots unless that’s what his team needs him to do. Hopefully that’ll change when Dyess comes back

1. To comment a little on what TDP shared: The fact what the ESPN people (not a collection of Rhodes Scholars behind the booth, mind you!) were making jokes about Rico’s ponytail just shows you how little they know about Argentina and sports in general. You see, Argentine athletes have had a long (no pun intended) tradition of sporting long hair, specially in futbol. So, it’s not a surprise that Rico goes long hair. But, it’s hard to ask a group of broadcasters who can only talk about Brett Favre and LeBron James and Pacman Jones 24/7 to do a little research about the world…

ABOUT THE GAME…
2. It’s always good to see Sir Rodney get a good game. Sir Rodney needs to prove every chance he gets that Joe was onto something when he traded for AI. It’s no secret that Joe pulled the trigger because he trusts Stuckey.
3. Another MONSTER game for DARKNESS himself, Mr. Jason Maxiell. Darkness really had some nice putbacks right there. And seriously, Charlie Villanueva, here’s a suggestion for you: MAN UP!!! You’re 6′11″ for crying out loud, post up a little, earn your fat paycheck and don’t be afraid to be posterized by Darkness on TV… You WILL be posterized, but better to look like a man on the ground than a pansy on the sidelines.
4. Good to see AI showing he was sorry. I still think it was very boneheaded of his to miss the PRACTICE, not a game, not a game, but PRACTICE (sorry, I couldn’t help myself… my bad!), but it’s always good to see that he manned up (see Charlie, that’s what you’re supposed to do!) accepted coming from the bench without pouting (Natalie, I agree with you, Richard Jefferson’s “mommy, the kids at the playground hate me” pouty look is pretty annoying) and did what he does every night, guaran’sheed: play tough and hard! I do respect that from Allen, no matter what, he always brings intensity!
5. It was one play, but I have to admit that Kwame looked pretty good right there! He looked pretty quick and had solid footwork. Maybe the fact that all the eyes are on Iverson might be the best thing that can happen to Brown. Hasn’t it occurred to anybody yet that maybe Brown is a big man that plays best like Rasheed does, when he’s not the focal point or the go-to man all the time? Plus, let’s face it, if there’s someone who can help Kwame, that’s Sheed…
