Nope, you're absolutely right. He barely played and he pulled fouls almost immediately each time he entered the game. Nazr was a much better match up against Oneal. I did wonder though, Chandler started but Brown substituted Nazr for Chandler within the first 30 seconds?? Why not just start Nazr? Is there some rationale behind that?

Beating the Celts will be a tall order, but they have the confidence....barring a major injury they should be in the playoffs....(I know its EXTREMELY early but they definitely have the right mix)

I ABSOLUTELY agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is like a whole other team!They have been playing awesome. The Cavs game was incredible.

I hope this is what we need, the chemistry is there and we can head straight to the playoffs!

I don't go to Bobcats games or any NBA games as a matter of fact. I'm not paying to watch two over payed guys play one on one while the other 8 stand on the other side of the court and watch. I'd rather watch pee wee basketball it's much more entertaining.

Overpaid is an opinion. Whether you like it or not, they (players) are paid what the market will bear. And since people WILL pay big money for merchandise,tickets, & concessions, the market is speaking and saying they are worth that money (its capitalism). If you are insinuating comparing them to schoolteachers or firemen, thats a different argument.

Also, painting the NBA w/a broad brush (saying its just one on one) is wrong IMO. If you've watched any of the Bobcats games for instance you would know that its not all one-on-one.

Then you are missing out on a great time! I've been to ~15 games over the last 3 seasons since we get a lot of free tickets through work connections. I always have a lot of fun at the game. It's been fun to watch the team evolve over the last 3 seasons. That 35 point victory on Wednesday against the Raptors was awesome at the arena!

This says it all - go with the "free" work tickets. Most of us don't get free tickets.

I would buy upper tier seats (which are cheap) and move down at halftime.

I've never been denied before from the ushers who monitor each section....at least you see 1/2 the game close up.

I buy more than enough beer and snacks to make up for the "free" tickets.
