The Heat are not looking too good. Still dead last in rebounds but also not doing well in assists per game. Their defense is still good but it simply isn't enough.

Deng has been serviceable but you''re asking too much of Bosh when Wade is out. He can't carry a team like that.

Remember his crazy stats at the start? Well, they've come down to earth. Per of 22, 21 8 and 1 47%FG.

Lucky for Miami they're in the East and Charlotte and Detroit are trash. Just don't see them making noise in the playoffs.

It's just tough to build a contender with the current salary cap and they way they constructed the big three. I think LBJ made the right choice because he would have to do so much heavylifting to get that team to a top 2 record once again.

Our guy Ed Davis finally getting some love, his advance stats numbers have been solid this season and the Lakers are starting to recognize:

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/12001100/carlos-boozer-los-angeles-lakers-says-benching-came-surprise

Veteran forward Carlos Boozer wasn't happy with being benched in favor of forward Ed Davis, who started in Boozer's place Sunday night during the Los Angeles Lakers' 104-87 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

"Obviously it was a surprise," Boozer said after practice Monday. "I didn't expect that, but if helps our team win, I'm a team player."

Boozer left without speaking to reporters Sunday night, but Lakers coach Byron Scott confirmed after the game that Boozer wasn't pleased with the move. Scott said he made the lineup switch, which also included benching starter Jeremy Lin for Ronnie Price, to help improve the Lakers' defensive intensity.

"That's just his opinion," Boozer said. "I have a different opinion. I'll keep it to myself."

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak pulled Boozer aside and chatted with him for several minutes after practice Monday.

"Just me and Mitch talking, that's not for you guys, that's just for us," Boozer said.

Boozer said he and Scott have yet to talk about the lineup change, and Boozer said he learned of it before Sunday's game. Boozer scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds in 23 minutes. Davis added 12 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes.

Knicks have triangle offense though so it's going to be a great season for them.

The Mavericks run it, the Warriors run it, I wished we ran it. Not that I think there's anything wrong with our offense, but it'd be a good out of timeout play using DeRozan as the post up guard setting up either Lowry or Ross for the 3.

Kevin Willis · Post #19 » by **Kevin Willis** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 3:13 pm

All I know is we're 6.5 games up. Played more out of conference games than the rest of the conference leaders. Have an easier schedule up to Christmas. Played Cleveland hard two games without DD.

We got this.
