let the biggest half of the season begin ...

at Nets 45, Bucks 37, halftime.

I am having "minor differences" with Time Warner right now, so I am watching the game online in addition to blogging half number two.

If the BuKSs can rally, and win this one ...

(marvin gaye voice) Let's get it on!

-------------------

YES! Network feed, Marv Albert and someone. Sounds like the Czar of the Telestrator.

Devin Harris would be a cheetah if he could be an animal. OK. His tat on the left arm is atrocious. But that's my opinion.

Devin playing against his hometown team, the Milwaukee BuKCs.

Nets easy bucket by Anderson. 37-47.

CHUCK E CHEESE! For 3! 40-47 Nets.

Carter bricks. Elson boards.

Yikes, Sessions blocked out of bounds. Bucks ball under the hoop.

Hassell for 2. RJ for 3! 43-49 Nets.

Chuck E Cheese and RJ both with 10 makes.

Anderson from 3. 43-52 Nets. Might want to cover that guy.

RJ from DOWNTOWN! 46-52. Jesus, I miss Marv Albert on national broadcasts.

Christ, Ryan Anderson can't miss! 46-55 Nets.

RJ fouled. Solid pass by Ridnour. 8:43 left in the 3rd, Bucks down 9.

RJ gets one of two. Bucks down 8.

Crap. Lopez an easy dunk. Bucks down 10.

Ridnour to Elson as the clock expires. Whew. Bucks down 49-57.

Christ, Lopez is wide, WIDE open. 49-59.

Awful sequence, but Harris misses the three. Wow. SHADY offensive foul called on Lopez. Bucks down 10.

RJ misses from 3, but Elson board, pass to Ridnour. Free throws upcoming. At 89%, these should be automatic.

First one is. Ditto number two.

Foul on RJ. Nets hit both. 51-61 Nets.

SHADY blocking foul on the nets as RJ drove. Violet Palmer on the call. Shady, that was a charge.

RJ drills it. 52-61.

Hits both. Down 8.

Carter fouled by Sessions, decent foul. Carter would have scored.

The Czar of the Telestrator attempting to coach from the broadcast booth.

Crap. Devin Harris from 3. He's 7 of 9. Good f*cking God.

CHUCK E CHEESE! He has 11. 55-64 Nets.

VINSANITY! 55-66 Nets. Awesome dunk.

RJ throws it away.

Board Gadzuric. Bad shot by NJ.

Chuck E Cheese misses from 15.

Awful, AWFUL defensive sequence. Nets up 13. 55-68 Nets. TO Bucks. We needed it.

Why the NBA would choose to feature a "where amazing happens" commercial with a towel over Kobe's private area, I have no idea. I'm pretty sure that chick in Colorado doesn't think that's "where amazing happens".

Marv hyping some Latin artists performance on Saturday night. I liked him better when he was hyping biting and panties.

Ryan Anderson is en fuego. 17 and counting, and his team's up 13.

Sessions botches a layup. Foul on VC. Mbah a Moute to the line? Nope. RJ with a bad miss, Lopez with the board.

This one is slipping away.

Harris fouled on the shot. Seriously, his tat is awful. Absolutely awful.

Harris hits both. Nets up 15. Cracked.

It IS the Czar of the Telestrator! Fratello cracking jokes about Mbah a Moute being actual royalty!

"The Prince" hits a foul shot. Not sure how he wound up at the line.

Hits both. Nets up 13.

Sessions! Steal! Stuff! Timeout Jersey, up 11!

I believe I just heard "Keyon Dooling" on the broadcast. (raise the "what, me?!?!" expression now ...)

So the roommate left 30 minutes ago ... and I have no idea where he and the chick of the moment went. I honestly thought she was leaving, because she said "bye Steve" ... only its D's car that's gone, and hers is in the driveway. In a related development, I must find another wall to bash my head against, since D can score anyone and I can't even nail myself at this point.

OK, Nets up 11, with 2:50 to go. Lopez brick but board Nets.

Yes, it IS Keyon Dooling. He bricks from 3.

RJ draws the foul on our (no doubt) inbred friend from Missouri.

RJ bricks. Crap.

Cannot piss away points like this in a must win game.

Hits the 2nd. 60-70 Nets, 2:15 to go in the 3rd.

Dumb foul on Lopez. Bucks ball at midcourt.

CHUCK E BELL! Or Chuckie Bell, from 3. 63-70 Nets.

8-0 run for the BuKCs.

F*cking Keyon Dooling drills the 3.

RJ with an AWFUL pass. Nets ball. Anderson bricks it. So awful Nets get the board.

Bucks hold, but nearly turn it over. :38 to go, down 9, Bucks ball.

Wow, Violet Palmer is a truly AWFUL official. Some Nets dude just got mugged and she didn't call it.

Nets to the foul line on an unrelated foul.

Hit both. Nets up 11.

Bucks can pretty much hold for the last shot.

AWFUL shot by RJ. Bucks 63, Nets 74 after 3.

Nets start the 4th by drawing a foul on Bell. Good call.

Ryan Anderson is 7 of 9, Brooke Lopez has 15. Cracked Magazine.

WOW! Offensive foul on the Nets under the hoop. Seemed shady to me.

Ridnour brick, Gadzuric board. Ridnour tries to pass ... foul. Ridnour to the line. Hits the first. Hits the 2nd.

Bucks down 9, 11:04 to go.

Fratello talking about a "tweak". What the hell.

RJ called for a travel after a Harris offensive foul. I'd call this officiating a Mickey Mouse operation, but no sense offending the rodents who might read this.

Anderson to the bench. 19 points, 6 boards for NJ. Rock solid.

Are you kidding me? Ridiculous away from the ball foul on Sessions. Even Marv Albert is questioning this "officiating" crew.

Boone misses the dunk! Gadzuric on the other end! Its down to 7 ...

Boone bricks. Ridnour board.

Sessions drives ... Gadzuric board ... mugged! Two shots upcoming!

Bucks 18 of 26 at the line ... make that 18 of 27.

CDR checks in for NJ. Didn't know he was a Net.

Hits the 2nd. Bucks down 6, 9:24 to go.

Awful shot by Carter. Bucks board!

HORRID foul by Harris. That's what you do when you have one to give and need the TO. Oh wait, that's what happened. Harris' 3rd. 68-74 Nets, 9:05 to go.

Ridnour brick. Nets drive ... BELL DRAWS THE CHARGE!

8:57 to play, Bucks down 68-74. We're in this one. Without Bogut, without Redd, without Dusty, who's off having fun somewhere no doubt. Seriously, I'm running out of walls to bash my head into ...

I kid, I kid. There's still at least 15, 16 walls I haven't head butted yet.

How we're in this game, I have NO idea.

RJ called for a walk. Barbra Streisand.

Fratello making no sense.

BLOCK by Gadzuric! And he gets the dunk on the other end!

(marv albert voice) Its down to 4!

BuKCs 7, Nets 0 in the 4th quarter.

Vinsanity brick! Go BuKCs Go!

Ridnour ... NO. But Gadzuric with the board! And fouled!

Wow.

Non shooting foul. Shady.

Bell with an awful shot. Nets ball.

70-74 Nets, 7:26 to go.

Christ almighty. Dooling fouled on a three, and it went in.

I f*cking HATE Keyon Dooling. He got the free throw. HUGE shift potentially.

Sessions drops the "f u" layup on NJ in response.

Lopez with a shady hook that goes in. 72-80 NJ.

RJ bricks a horrid 3. Stupid, STUPID shot selection. Devin Harris hits the follow up on the other end. Really, why wouldn't you try from 27 feet when you can give the opposition a layup. Cracked.

72-82 Nets, 5:54 to go.

Allow me today, the NBA League Pass Broadband freaking Rocks! This reception on my work laptop ... is better than I get on my freaking TV. Awesome, AWESOME job by nba.com to make this work.

The Yankees spring training facility is now named Steinbrenner Field. Cracked.

Harris on the bench after his 5th.

Sessions hits the first. Hits the 2nd.

GOOD GOD! FOUL HIM! Lopez WIDE OPEN in the lane. Nets up 10.

Nets play RJ as we should be playing Lopez. FOUL HIM!

RJ to the line. Hits the first. "The Czar" just dropped the "eyebrow of irony" line. I LOVE the NBA League Pass ...

Hits both. 76-84 Nets.

VC bad shot, Sessions board.

VC gets the steal, stupid Sessions drive.

VC mugged.

Hits both. Nets up 10, 4:47 to go.

Yikes, Chuck E Cheese bricks a layup.

VC draws the foul. Both teams over the limit.

76-86 Nets, 4:25 to go.

VC hits both. Down 12.

Sessions good. Down 10.

Crap. Dooling hits a 3. That's probably lights out. 78-91 Nets with 3:51 to go. Dooling has 15. Excuse me while I puke.

Still no word from D or the chick of the night. And in a related development, a couple walls have head imprints. Good God, my life sucks ass.

AWFUL shot by Gadzuric. That should all but end it.

Lopez hits. Down 15.

RJ hits from 3 with 3:03 to go, down 12.

BS foul, 2:41 to go. Vince misses the foul shot.

I hear a car in the driveway. Its the roomie.

Violet Palmer can suck my c*ck. AWFUL call on that play.

Bucks 81, Nets 94. Make that 96. Christ, we suck.

Nets up 15 with less than 2 to go. Time to call it a night. Especially since the roomie is home and his trip was for the good stuff.
