Yahoo Update: It's official. They didn't wait until tomorrow.

Welcome, Ankit! Stick around on the message board, there's plenty to learn and discuss.

So you got the account validation e-mail. Stick around, Damien. Along with basketball, you can discuss your Jets in the football forum.

This is only the second time in 11 games that we've allowed over 100 points, and we haven't allowed this many points since we faced Denver more than three weeks ago. No surprise, seeing that there were a ridiculous amount of uncontested shots for the Kings. Hawes, who was on fire the last time we were in Sacramento, originally got the Kings to open up the lead. Evans had no problem getting to the basket and dominating throughout. Once Udrih and Casspi came in, they joined the action right away. Our defense seemed lost throughout the contest.

The deficit's been increasing and decreasing, but we're hanging in there. Lopez had a great first half and is near another double-double. We're shooting well overall, which is a good sign. Defensive stops when necessary are probably key for us to stay in the game.

And we see once again why you have a better shot at a miracle with a short inbounds pass rather than a full-court one. No surprise that Wade came alive late. Miami was back in the game in less than two minutes.

You keep missing what I'm saying. I was talking about solving problems in our prospects, NOT filling slots. I'm not talking about signing players, I am talking about trying to get our young guys to contribute. The last two sentences of my last post were combined. I'm saying that you don't buy players. It's a mutual agreement. If we bought players, CC would have been a Yankee a week before we ended up signing him. Let me elaborate since you insist on bringing up unrealistic if's. I would rather sign a $1M deal with the Yankees than a $2M deal with the Astros.

Having limited resources and not playing like your usual selves is one thing, but a totally sloppy performance is another. Hassell attempted a wide-open jumper that never reached the rim, and Simmons airballed one of his 3-point attempts. Boone, once again, airballed a FT (I think he's done that at least four or five times by now with us). We had 23 turnovers and were outscored 60-32 in the paint.

I'm talking about solving the problems of our young players, not filling slots on our team. And we don't buy players. A team's money means nothing if the team itself isn't appealing.

Boone already has 8 boards. This is the first time in a while I've seen Lopez get into early foul trouble.

It turns out Lopez is good for tonight. Even better, Courtney Lee is back! The Nets have ten players! Lee and Harris are both coming off the bench tonight.

Add more to that...

The video has to be split up into pieces that are 10 minutes each, unfortunately.

From CDR's Twitter not too long ago: All those tweets within 15 minutes. Link

Bump. No one finds this interesting? This is more information on our 2010 offseason aims and Sean Williams' future.

We don't solve young players' problems by signing big-time FA's. They're two different things. Phil Hughes, Robby Cano, Melky Cabrera, Brett Gardner, Phil Coke, Alfredo Aceves, and Francisco Cervelli have nothing to do with Tex, CC, Burnett, and A-Rod.

It's pretty impressive considering he missed the first month of the season. Congrats to him. And Cabrera's first place vote is pretty funny. I remember when A-Rod won the MVP in '07, it wasn't unanimous because two Detroit writers voted for Magglio Ordonez.

Restock for Z-listers is 7:00 EST tonight and 12:00 PM EST tomorrow.

Well from my memory of our attempts at upsets in the past, we've given teams like the Cavs a scare, but then they get away with their late game heroics. It's definitely a possibility, though. We do some crazy things in the west. We beat Utah and Phoenix on a roadtrip last year.

It seemed like there weren't as many boos from the crowd as there used to be when the ball was in Carter's hands. Vince did shoot badly, but he has been the past couple of games, so I wouldn't say playing in Toronto is affecting him anymore.
