Ouch.

[Kenny]

Nice to know that Denver got one back against the Lakers. Love having Lawson and Miller at the point. The Nuggets bench is looking great

[Andrew]

Ouch on both counts.

Pretty cruisy win for the Bulls today, though Watson and Rip are both nursing injuries now. Memphis had even worse luck though with Randolph going down and Conley already out.

Cousins sent home after demanding to be traded
Kings players stunned by apparent DeMarcus Cousins trade demand
The Kings are young and have potential. They need to avoid this kind of disharmony.

[Andrew]

We do have a separate thread going on that. It's handy to have this thread for daily game chatter and the like but anything that's likely to have more than a few posts discussion deserves its own thread.

[NovU]

Oh. sorry about that. Ma bad.

[deihatein]

Mavs getting their 2nd win. That's nice, it seems the Haywood-Mahinmi combo is starting to work out pretty well. Now if Odom can contribute like he is with the Lakers and the Mavs will get back on top in no time.

[[Q]]

he's already admitted to being out of shape

[Andrew]

With the Thunder and Heat losing today, there are no teams left undefeated in the young season. The Wizards remain the only team without a win.

Hasheem Thabeet and his 82.8 PER are leading the league.


Also, Ginobili is apparently going to be out awhile after breaking his hand. Sucks for the Spurs.

Watching Cavs play Bobcats. A couple of sorry ass teams if ever there was some. At least back in day crappy teams had at least one really good player, like 90's Kings with Mitch Richmond. Cavs are woeful. I wish Varejao played for Spurs or decent team. He's wasted there. As for Bobcats, if Maggette is your best player then you got a problem

[rise]

Yeah, I was hoping Kemba would come in and put up 15 points a night right away. It didn't happen.

Hahaha. Had pretty much the same thought.

Thx to the free league pass I even watch these teams.

Pretty happy watching the Bobcats right now. Knicks aren't exactly killing things though.

Woeful they may be, but somehow they're seventh in the East in the early going. They'd also be sixth in the West. Welcome to a post-lockout season, I guess.

[NovU]

Near perfect game by the Heat and Bron. Bron just dominated. He did it in all categories. Hope his ankle will be fine though.

For the Nuggets, Faried's alley oop dunk was sick as hell. Must watch dunk.

[deihatein]

And Lamar Odom finally have a decent outing for the Mavs

[Andrew]

Warriors/Spurs turned out to be a pretty good game. Spurs made the comeback, Duncan had a couple of spry moments and Danny Green made the most of Ginobili's absence with some strong player in the fourth including a great block on Monta Ellis (which was also a fantastic non-call by the officials; kudos to them for not bailing him out on the flail), hard-nosed defense and a couple of big buckets. Well chosen, ESPN Australia.

[Kenny]

I'm thinking the Nuggets are more fun to watch post-Melo. Everyone seems to get involved and it's great to see. I'm glad that Nene being out hasn't affected them yet.

[The X]

Can't believe Hawks lost to Heat. They look pretty average.

Blazers look alright this season. A bit better than I thought they'd be. Jamal Crawford free agency signing was a steal. How does Crawford only get $5 mill per year deal & Marcus Thornton gets $7.5 mill per year deal? What am I missing.

As for Bucks, they stink again. I hope Bogut ends up as the 3rd best player on a good team at some point soon. Bucks have dropped two games they needed to win with Bogut making a mercy dash back to Australia for personal reasons.

[deihatein]

Mavs sucks

[rise]

That Ivan Johnson guy is pretty good. I really hope he has a bigger role for Atlanta after the game yesterday.
