Dwight Howard is such a bitch. He ducked Kobe. Injury flaring up right before this game? So suddenly the guys calling the game didn't even know about it beforehand...

That might be generous.

I think Atlanta will be a bit better when Horford gets his legs under him. He's only averaging ~14/6 and he's usually close to a 20/10 guy.

But yeah, they'll be a 7th or 8th seed, not a threat to anyone. I remember the pessimists hyping up the Hawks and Hornets as supposedly having passed us in the offseason. How is that looking right now :lol:

We'll see, the Hawks are 5-5 right now- that's the same record as the Cavaliers and the Pacers. Too early to write them off IMO especially since the Lakers just beat the Rockets.

The Bucks' bench reaction when Knight missed that layup in OT that would have won the game:

I just posted this in the game thread and realized I shouldve posted it here:

I was looking at the sked tonight and saw that the Raps host the Bucks. I was thinking thats going to be a good game but I also started thinking that everytime I see the Raps play it seems like its a home game and the only road game I can really remember was the L to Miami and the near L to Boston. Sure enough I check there sked and I see that tonight will be there 12th game and 9 of them have been at home. Thats favorable also. To me that makes me feel good that we are only one game back in the L column wih them playing that many home games but we cant fall that far behind

Best offense in basketball vs. the worst defense in basketball. :lol:

I saw that the Bobcats had a 22pt lead on the Magic with just a lil over a minute left in the 3rd and loss so I decided to go rewatch that game from that point on. The comeback started when the Magic had a lineup with Frye at the Center and 4 guards. The floor was so spread and had so much space. I never saw people have so much room driving to the hole. I love our depth with bigs but it does make you drool to think of some Wall-Beal-Porter-Pierce lineups, especially with another space big like maybe Hump

Rose played in the first half last night but sat in the second half.

"I have no setback, no pain. It was just fatigue, and like I said just trying to be smart.’’ Rose on why he didn't play second half.
