I guess Aldridge likes to circle Raptors games on his schedule at the start of every year. I bet he has a goddamn concrete busting erection all day on days he's to play in Canada.

Agreed. Although I think Rubio continuing to attack hoop & get to line in 4th, as well as his partial block of Billups' shot was what made it all possible.

Great to see T-wolves get up. Great to see Clips go down :cool:

EDIT: We can't forget to mention Darko. Without his D on Griffin early, plus his good offensive night (not sure what he scored, but was more than 20) then it would've been a blowout.

The officiating at the Wolves/Clips game last night was horrible. While it may have kept the game closer than it should have been, it's not at fault as the Clippers lost this one with poor execution. Blake could not budge Darko at all and there was another layup that Griffin tried to do on Darko but he used his lead hand and got that one tossed, too. Nice coaching by Adelman to assign Darko to Blake. Griffin also missed two clutch free throws. It was a classic Clippers loss. They were knocking down jumpshots in the first half, continued to try and live by the jumper bailing the Wolves defense out, while Minnesota clawed back by going inside as often as they could.

The Heat-Sixers game should have used an ABA ball.

There were a few moments like that in that game where Melo just not being able to pass out of double or triple defense. It seems he likes to wait till the last moment to pass or just shoot over three defenders.

I wonder how much D'Antoni gets frustrated by plays like that... or has his coaching philosiphy completely changed?

At times, it's seemed like they're as out of sync as the players.

More so, I think. There's been some downright turrible officiating so far, hope that changes

Another throwback performance for Duncan. It seems he's beyond being able to bring that every night at this point, but teams can't forget about him completely as he's still capable of contributing and turning in a big game every now and again.

Ugly performance by the Magic, an 87-56 loss setting a new franchise low for points in a game. Just 20 points in the second half.

Good to see Timmy still have an impact every now and then. I'd love to see them acquire another franchise player during his twilight years, like what they did when David Robinson was still playing.
