Danny Granger was able to rise up for a number of dunks in the Pacers matchup against the Kings on his way to a game high 27 points.


- Crawford dishes to Granger to cap off the break with a stuff
- Williams takes advantage of a height mismatch and throws one down on Miller
- Crawford splits the Kings defense with an acrobatic finish at the rim
- Granger takes it coast to coast before rising up above Bobby Jackson for a jam

Quote Of The Game:
"They came out of the half aggressively and put us back on our heels heading into the 4th. All too often last season, we'd collapse in the 4th. But tonight, we buckled down and got the stops we needed in the 4th to come away with this win on the road." - Danny Granger

Wow, nice win. Granger went off!

Just missed the triple double, keep winning Mike!

The Kings GM made a dumb move, sending away their 1st round pick and Beno Udrih to the Hornets to get Posey last season.

With that pick, the Hornets got Earl Clark, who is now starting for them. lol.

I'd say they are getting better. Hawes and Thompson are solid young big men and K-Mart is good. They just need some expiring contracts or hold on to some lottery picks. They have 20 mill coming off the books for themselves this offseason so that's not too bad.

lol thanks for the shoes advice, apparently he was just wearing the generic ones. NEW KICKS SON.

Those socks and arm band on Granger are stock? Or did you put those in manually?

They weren't on him for the default rosters but a recent roster update had him wearing them.

When he came back from injury last season, he wasn't wearing any of the sleeves so I manually added what the latest roster update had him wearing which is team color arm sleeve x1 and team color leg sleeve x2. I dig the look.

Digging the Wallace trade, he's pretty easy to use. Nice winning streak too, keep it going.

Wallace is fucking awesome. I had no idea he was this solid. Obviously, not a go to guy or anything but he does the little things. Been hitting some big shots for me, pulling down boards, making some good defensive plays etc.

Silly Granger...KIX ARE FOR KIDS!

LOL, it must be the shoes! Granger scored the first 15 points for me in this Clippers game and finished the 1st quarter with 22.

[mfbmike]

lol I feel you. I'm the opposite though. I don't freak out because a player is missing a headband or something and I'm not really a sneakerhead either. lol

But you showed a pic and if it makes the screens look nicer because the shoes match, I'm all for it.

Update coming btw!

Quote Of The Game:
"Danny came out and scored our first 15 points and we thought he was going to try to mess with Kobe's 81 or something. He had a look in his eyes early in the game but decided to get everyone involved as the Clippers pushed back into it." - Brandon Rush

Roster News:


Big news out of Phoenix today. Suns forward Amare Stoudemire announced that he will test the free agent market in the upcoming offseason. Despite the Suns being crowned the NBA Champs a season ago, the Suns have stuttered out of the gates this season and sit at 10-11. Whether or not this has anything to do with Amare's decision is yet to be seen at this point but Amare does feel with his newfound NBA Finals experience, he can find more money elsewhere.
