unfortunate loss last night but both the Bulls and the Heat also lost.

The Bulls having to use Hinrich a lot more than Rose would be like the Wiz having to use Miller a lot more than Wall. Even with Rose not being his old self, the Bulls are a much better team with him - but they never know when he's going to play. Letting Augustin get away really hurts them.

Curry absolutely murked the Heat last night. I caught the end of the game and he was raining 3s off the dribble over and over. He was 8-11 from 3.

I hope they can stay healthy.

Captain Kirk is still a decent defender atleast

But the Bulls have Aaron Brooks to do the Augustin role now.

Brooks actually has good stats this season - which surprises me because whenever I've seen him in past years, he's been uber-terrible.

"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.

Well it was the 2nd game of a back to back so I'm surprised even played the 1st half.

Curry had 25 at the half after dropping 40 last game. Must be nice to have an elite player on your team.

I remember posting that Steph Curry is better than Randy Foye. It was a no brainer to draft Curry at #5 back then...

EG thought otherwise. :lol:

At the end of the 3rd, OKC holds a 32 point lead over the Knicks.

Maybe if the entire Thunder team mistakenly heads to the locker room early, New York can close the gap. Hey, it could happen.

Portland lost to Memphis at Portland. Memphis has the NBA's best record at 14-2.

Dave Joerger is destined to win.

Great coach.

Very jealous of MEM right now. They are undefeated vs. the West so far.

They have only one bad matchup and that's the Spurs.

wow, 91% say that Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the best backcourt. Guess you can't really argue with that right now.

Jamison doing Lakers postgame shows now? :lol:

I spoke with Antawn Jamison each time he came to Hawaii for Pete Newell's Big Man Camp. Very down to earth, personable, nice man.

I am happy for him.

Atlanta is obliterating Charlotte... can't decide if Atlanta is the real deal or Charlotte is just plain awful.

Charlotte is looking awful. They need to trade for a shooter badly. Zeller, their temporary starting PF was 0/6 with 3 boards matched up against a shorter Millsap and Elton Brand. That kid was an obvious bust.

Kobe stepped in and out of the way back time machine before he played against Toronto.

He had a triple double. He looked fluid and quick. Everyone on the Lakers appeared to be in sync with sharing Kobe. Easily his best game, probably in a couple years.

Oh, and the Raptors lost.

First player in NBA History with 30,000 points and 6,000 assists.

Kobe playing distributor is what they need from him, not chucking 30 shots. And it looks like he's getting his legs back. I know he keeps himself in great shape but I really doubted how he'd come back from the achilles and knee. That year off last season probably extended his career.
