No Kendrick Perkins, no Scot Pollard! Here's our chance to catch them while their banged up. Kind of like how teams are doing to us. I wonder whose starting at center...Big Baby? Scalabrine? Should make the game even more interesting.

Thanks to Perkins this has become our first literal edition of "footnotes."

Kenny Thomas (woof): Coach you are playing favorites. I know I am a much better player than the player ahead of me. How do I get you to see the light? I'm getting frustrated and feel like quitting.

Coach Reggie: Remember that quitting never solves anything but if you want to opt out this off season I think we can work something out. But if you are truly a better canine, then keep working hard with your nose to the groin and I will have to take notice. I believe the cream always rises to the top unless it sours. At all levels of sports there are always going to be some coaches who play favorites -- I too have this problem when I  coach -- but you can't let it get to you if you're determined to succeed. You'll eventually get your chance to perform, and when the oppurtunity comes up try to score more points than the nubmer of personal fouls you commit, you better be ready, so try working and develop some skills. It might mean that you have to work twice as hard to bring your performance up and we will be the ones to benefit in the long run when we trade you to the Knicks.

Vegas is giving Sac +15. To be optimistic, that's a good thing because Boston has beaten it's 10 opponents at home by an average of 21...on another note, one of the NBA's funniest starting matchups will take place. Mikki Moore vs. Glen Davis! Bones vs. Meat!

Yup. Looks like steak and lobster for dinner!

Big Baby's a beast. That's funny. Kind of weird to picture a Big Baby Beast!
