Real Deal

He's good. I think he knows just how big these next two games are, and while Henson and Keller are huge for UNC, he's their savior.

He's okay. By the way he was moving around in the second half, it's nothing that will keep him out of action for a while, and I doubt he misses a game (their next two are against ranked opponents, the one on December 3rd is against Kentucky). I can't say that it was the reason UNC lost, though (unlike a few UNC fans I'm having to talk with on Facebook). Barnes missed two crucial free throws late in the game, and he wasn't playing well in the first place, before the injury. UNLV was only down by about four or so at the half, and you had an itch that they were ready to go on a run to start the second half. The momentum from the crowd carried that small scoring spurt, and they pulled ahead by eight, IIRC, before UNC scored a basket.

Pinned.

Hmm...changed things back, as far as team forums go. However, I combined NBA and college basketball talk in their own category. We may be an NBA-driven site, but we have to find a way to incorporate college basketball into our discussion. It will help bring in new members down the road, if we can fully recover from this lockout. For you football fans, and other sports as well...I'll find a way to link over to those forums without having to scroll so far down the list, if you'd like. Just a few shortcuts, to encourage discussion...because I've noticed that we are getting less and less activity in the NFL section since I've expanded it, which doesn't make much sense.

Just bundling everything together... Some NBA CBA details: five year max years (contracts) with Bird Rights, four years if non-Bird. Max salary, one level, 30% of cap. No hard cap. Amnesty clause is very likely (the ability to waive one player, no matter the contract length or amount). Sign and trades are still a go for all teams in the NBA, no matter the cap situation, at least for the first two years of the CBA. Tougher luxury tax penalty implemented after the first two seasons of the new agreement. No reduction on rookie scale or minimum contracts. All-Star Weekend will still be held in Orlando, and won't be canceled.

Almost over...anyone watching? ESPN2.

Yeah, and I'm about to beat Ricardo's ass, because all he does is stand on the apron. I dropped ADR with three finishers, and Ricardo's dumb ass kept jumping up there and getting the ref's attention when I went for a pin, and I ended up losing.

OTR is saved.

YES.
