Knicks and Raptors just went into OT.

OMG, gotta go read both teams' message boards.

Melo is such a horrible chucker.

His iso chucking has shot them right out of OT, ugly.

Whoever in the trade thread said that the Wizards needed to trade for Melo should suffer a 7-day suspension -- just out of principle.

Kings fired Mike Malone? I haven't been following them closely, but weren't they playing above expectations, and weren't Gay and Cousins developing into a dynamic 2-some?

I'd trade Otto for Melo...Melo would be a nice spark off the bench when we get in our scoring droughts.

Its ridiculous firing him right now. Boogie is out due to an illness. And they're playing .500 ball in a LOADED conference.

Anthony Davis-31 points on 12/15 shooting, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 assist.

That guy is the living, breathing 99 rating.

Sorry, but the Cavs are good for the occasional offensive outburst but that team is not coming out of the East much less winning a championship as currently constructed.

Andre Drummond's line today: 19 points, 24 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks. Wow!

SVG is bombing in Detroit so far, but Drummond's turning into a beast.
The Wizards shoukd have drafted Derik Queen

I told you so :banghead:

Charlotte lost again today. Won't be long before their coach gets fired.

For all the talk of Lance Stephenson being a bad addition, another guy who I think is truly underperforming is Micheal Kidd Gilchrist. I thought he'd be a much better NBA player than he's shown so far.

MKG is playing like a bust IMO.

Whoever gets 8th seed in the East is going to be a one terrible team.

MKG has only played 10 games. He was out hurt for awhile and his numbers arent bad so far. He was off to a strong start before he got hurt.

Drummond has actually regressed quite a bit this year. His numbers are the same across the board as last year, except his ORtg has plummeted from 121 to 101.

Watching the Spurs play Memphis right now. One of the best games I've seen in a long time. Now in double overtime.

Hollinger predicts Milwaukee, Boston and Orlando - I would say 3 horrible teams.

By the end of the season, Milwaukee might not be considered so horrible. They're .500 right now, and young enough to expect improvement as the season progresses.
