Cats beat the Nets. Gotta love both NY teams sitting at 3-8.

Sully big butted his way to 17 rebounds ...

If he can stay healthy, he is like a bigger version of PP.

Jared Sullinger grabbed a career-high 17 boards in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, adding 19 points and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes.

Well he hasn't played yet, and I didn't watch the game to see if he was even on the bench or dressed.

But he was activated on ESPN.com for their last game.. so I guess that means he's at least made his way from NYC/DC to Phoenix by now

I posted that on Tuesday night. He was shown as active on ESPN.com for that night's game.. could have just been an error though

MIA can make you look bad but 8 is a lot.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

we avoided an epic meltdown but HOU didn't on the road in DAL getting
pounded in the 4th Q and losing by 3 in the end.

Dirk and MonTay getting it done for DAL. Lin not getting it done for HOU.

Gasol for MEM is out for a while.

D. Rose looks like he'll be out for a while for CHI

And Iggy has a bad hamstring for GSW

Lots of high profile talent going down

Orton showing a heart beat finally.

I young man that logged a lot of DNP. Finally a career high 10 rebounds.

Philly actually out rebounded Indy 54 to 50

But Hibbert owned the today.

In other new. Isiah Thomas continues to chew it up off the bench and Boggie has a big game.

I LOVED what Cousins did today. I hate the Clippers and their flopping ways (especially what they did to us in LA last year). Cousins hates CP3 and Blake, so good for Cousins for preventing Isiah Thomas from shaking hands.

I now want Demarcus Cousins on our team more than ever.

I love it! That's the way it should be. You should hate your opponent. Don't shake his hand. Particularly when it's a dirty, cheating flopper like Paul. Cousins has an old school nastiness about him.

Cousins was in the wrong. But I like that he takes things really serious, its stuff like this that builds rivalries and brings more entertainment value for the fans.

No.

Not when the story was it being his first start, against Miami, and he posted those numbers.

He backed that up in the next game, in Miami, in a 2 pt loss that came down to the buzzer.

27 min 17 pts 7 boards 4 assists 9 FTs 1 Turnover

Not bad for a rookie after only 12 games and only his 2nd start.

Big Baby is back for them now. They have some talent on that team. T Harris is getting close to returning as well.

I'm probably Ola's biggest fan, but you don't just pretend 8 to's didn't happen when evaluating a game. Well, you did, but somebody being objective wouldn't.

Love the Cousins video nate posted. That's Chris f'n Paul - future HOFer who Thomas probably idolized - interesting dynamics at play.
