I thought they looked better in New York and seem to be finding their way. Obviously there are some trades in their future, but they're getting it together. Howard has to be better and they could use some health at point guard.

They looked better after Carmelo went out. Shocking.

I was debating it at first but its a given that I go see the Blazers when they play the Bucks. Damian Lillard is for real. He looks like he might be better than Jennings already.

Antawn Jamison has been completely exposed for being a worse defender than Charlie Villanueva.

They are starting Chris Duhon as PG.

Now Dwight Howard wants to tell everyone that he is still hurt.

It might be too late by the time Nash & Gasol come back.

Don't disagree with any of that, but I don't think it's too late. The Lakers are simply looking to get it together and make the Playoffs. Seed doesn't really matter that much and no doubt they will have another major roster shake up as D'Antoni seeks players that fit better.

Dwight may or may not still be hurt, but either way he's not himself yet.

All just growing pains imo. That said, they can't lose to the Wizards tonight who will be an interesting test. Young and scrappy and looking to make a mark... could send the Lakers further down if they're not careful.

Boston has no legs tonight. Houston running them early.

Kobe with a great rebound off a Howard FT miss and tip in to probably seal the game.

Cool scene with Garnett hugging McHale after the game and McHale starting to break down. Wow.

Paul George has been ridiculous lately.

Philly is looking for a starting center now.

I would be interested in Dalembert for Nick Young.

But that might be too much swag in the backcourt.

And Charlotte has put Gerald Henderson on the block.

Not sure what they'd be interested in besides a guy like Tobias.

Shockingly Washington is losing in Miami, but Lebron flipped a shot flat-footed from just over half court and it was wet. It was after a foul and didn't count, but still impressive.

Did not realize Ricky Rubio back on the court tonight. 7 assists already.

So happy he's back on the floor, possibly my favourite player in the NBA.

FYI. Shved is for real.

Baddy Chuck · Post #511 » by **Baddy Chuck** » Sun Dec 16, 2012 3:04 am

Rubio
Shved
Kirilenko
Love
Pekovic

Easily my second favorite team in the league.

I think I'm just going to be a Wolves fan until Kohl sells the Bucks.
