Section 233 Row 2 … becoming handicap area I believe. Was just off the first balcony railing. Still haven’t heard back from ticket rep but they assured me I’d get seats to my satisfaction. (Doubt I’ll get equal seats)

While I did forget about the extra game starting this year, personally, I would want more than a final week buffer. There have been cases in the past where certain teams were so far ahead in standings. See colts and Saints in 09 for one example, where teams played their starters minimally in the final weeks.

Add on that this 17th game will have additional wear and tear affects to players on locked in playoff teams. So I can see them trying to reduce action for their stars leading up to the playoffs, even if not entirely ruling them out for those games.

We are not the lakers...you won't get people to bite that bait on here.

On Ryan Anderson's Potential - Do Most-Improved Players Keep Improving?

Good write-up over on 247 analyzing the past 12 Most-Improved Player award recipients and how they fared throughtout their careers. The article looks into the players' stats before and after their MIP year to see certain trends.

I know it was only one appearance but it was good to see the old Matty Ott from 2 years ago show up to get the big save Saturday. Faced the minimum 3 batters and got 2 K's. Not too bad!

I have a good answer to this situation that I read off of a link posted on here yesterday from a season-ticket holder that went to a Q&A session with Dell Demps before the Spurs slaughtering. This is from the article he posted:

What are your plans in regards to David West's expiring contract? Are there contract extension negotiations taking place, and do you believe he will remain a Hornet?

Out of everything that Demps was asked, this is the only question that he seemed to step around a little bit. He told us that he has spoken numerous times with West and has made it clear that he "wants him to retire a Hornet, have his jersey hanging in the New Orleans Arena, have him receive standing ovations whenever he returns to a game, and have his family able to call for free tickets whenever they want." That being said, Dell enlightened us with a key piece of information regarding NBA extensions - players can only be extended based on the final year of their contracts. Therefore, although West's contract was front-loaded and he averaged more money throughout the duration of the contract than he is making this season, an extension must be based off of his salary this year. As a result, the chances of an extension before the end of this season are slim, but Demps hopes to negotiate a new contract with him after the season and before any other team has a chance at him.

He had many more questions pertaining to the hornet's future addressed as well that I found to be interesting. It was in a post labelled "Q&A Session with ... "

Looks like they posted the new Rivals 100.

It becomes a little tougher to decide now that Mr. Wrangler has another receiver in Moss to chuck it down the field to thus taking touches away from AP. However that should open the run game up more, with less frequent 8 men in the box scenarios. Add on the fact that he has already had his bye week while CJ has not.

I would do it.
