After no D-League ball last night, just this game tonight, and no games tomorrow night, think I'm going to have to live comment on this.

VP & Rooks

Much better dressed than Marty Tirrell and crew in Iowa – we’ll get to this tomorrow!

LA Clippers, Chicago Bulls, New Jersey Nets, and Toronto Raptors all have scouts here. Could Toronto still be looking at the D-League?

Hmm

Who would I call up? Derrick Byars, Othyus Jeffers, or Trey Johnson… Since there are 4 teams here, all 3 should be able to make it! New Jersey should be looking at Mateen, as well..

Scott

Come on, just because you forget to hit the cough button 12 times in 30 seconds, you are going to run a story on him?

Any idea why you think, the knicks call Csims up? They called Dnic up for 20 days and he doesn’t sniff the court, then call Csims, why?

Can you think of a team that has lost more this year during the course of a year then the energy?
 
Lose your #1 pick – CMartin to the association
Lose your #2 pick – to the PR national team
Sims called up for 30 days
DNic called up for 20 days
Lose your back up PG for the season.

And still the number 2 team in the league

Haha!

VP: Now Iowa bring Marvin Phillips from… Claflin?
SR: Claflin? (long, awkward silence) He must have been a good player at… Claflin

I thought you were talking about Marty getting suspended for dropping 12 f bombs on the air this week. He had a hot mike – didnt know it.

by IAFan on Mar 24, 2009 10:28 PM EDT reply actions  

All jokes aside, good to see Marvin, back in the line-up he has been out for about 2 weeks after spraining his MCL.

by IAFan on Mar 24, 2009 10:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Was it 12 times?

Regardless, I gotta put something up on the mad scarf wearer! (Sorry, Caught it late.. that’s exactly what I was referring to)

I told Nick the other day he’s done a great job this season. Tough to do what he’s done given the situation..
I’m not sure Ayuso went to the PR national team though. Read a story saying he left to go overseas, but didn’t make it..

As for Courtney, basically just to take a look in practice. They’re looking for cheap talent next season. Hurts Iowa, but will help Courtney in the long run..

Wow! We all know if there’s a conspiracy in the league, it’s aimed at the Dakota Wizards!

Stide has a facebook page that has a picture of him flying coach to vegas. funniest thing you have seen… probably one of the nicest guys you could sit with, however.

Color me interested! He is a nice guy though, at least in my limited interactions last season..

Yeah, very approachable, I sit right behind the energy bench, and he is a nice guy.

If you are Bakersfield, why wouldnt you get the ball inside to Lewis, when Newman is in the game?

No matter who is in the game

Get inside… Without Courtney, Iowa is very small…

Scott. I think we have been lucky, when our calls up happen, it is usually when we do not have a game that same night. Nick has been able to game plan with what he has. I am confused where is D.Brown? He has been a great wing, and scorer. Looks like the energy only have 8 dressed

by IAFan on Mar 24, 2009 10:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Just sent Vance a text… Re-injured perhaps?

Tough to gameplan with the posts for Iowa I’d think…

I hope the energy gets it done tonight, but to do it without Sims, CBrown and Patrick Sanders playing…would be amazing.

even more reason it is nice the officials have swallowed their whistles tonight, In a tough ticky-tack game, Iowa wouldnt have enough players in the 4th Q.

Yeah shawn…

by IAFan on Mar 24, 2009 11:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Im not sure the Register even covers the Energy night in and night out. Gray covers most of the home games, but an away game, no chance….ironic since there is so much else going on in dsm.
