It's interesting that Evans' numbers this year are about equal to Flynn's last year.

According to ESPN, we've had the 22nd hardest schedule in the NBA so far.

What's interesting is the Lakers have had the 28th hardest schedule and they've still dropped their last 3.

Durant's out for the Thunder, so Green and Westbrook combine for 75 points to get the win. Unbelievable.

LAC is beating the Spurs, who have the best record in the NBA. I think we might just finish the season with the worst record.

it's still early and our schedule has been brutal. Plus we are missing 2 major contributors to our team. Once they get back we won't see Bassy and we won't see Ellington/Brewer.

Plus the Spurs will still beat the Clippers. It's the Clippers they'll find a way to lose just like we always find ways to lose.

Our schedule wasn't thaaaat bad. ESPN compared the records and showed that ours was the 22nd hardest in the NBA. Not that LAC is the only team we have to worry about, but LAC has the 3rd hardest and they've just beaten San Antonio. LAC is also going to be getting Kaman back. We might be able to leapfrog a few teams though, but I'm not sure who.

Well, here's our schedule so far:

October
Wed 27 vs Sacramento L 116-117
Fri 29 vs Milwaukee W 96-85
Sat 30 @ Memphis L 89-109
November
Tue 02 @ Miami L 97-129
Wed 03 @ Orlando L 86-128
Fri 05 vs Atlanta L 103-113
Sun 07 @ Houston L 94-120
Tue 09 @ LA Lakers L 94-99
Wed 10 @ Sacramento W 98-89
Fri 12 vs New York W 112-103
Sun 14 @ Atlanta L 105-111
Mon 15 @ Charlotte L 110-113
Wed 17 vs LA Clippers W 113-111
Fri 19 vs LA Lakers L 95-112
Mon 22 @ Oklahoma City L 107-117
Wed 24 vs San Antonio L 109-113
Sat 27 vs Golden State L 94-104
December
Wed 01 @ Dallas L 86-100

So we've currently played 18 games, with 10 of those being on the road. We've had 3 back-to-backs already, including the "Florida Razor". We've also played the Lakers and Hawks twice already. The playoff calibre teams we've played are the Lakers, Spurs, Thunder, Mavericks, Hawks, Magic and Heat with the outside chance that Charlotte, New York, Milwaukee, Houston and Memphis could all make it at some point.

I don't know how it stacks up with some of the other schedules but we've definitely dropped the ball a few times. And looking at it I would have said it'd probably be somewhere in the middle, which I guess ESPN kind of says it is. Still, if this is easy we are totally screwed.

Blake Griffin's top 10 dunks. This is amazing.

His hangtime is absolutely amazing. He makes it look so easy. I wish he had connected on that dunk here. That would probably would have been the dunk of the decade.

My class just so happens to be at the same time as the Heat/Cavs game. At least I can watch highlights. The crowds reaction alone will make the game worth watching.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #294 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Fri Dec 3, 2010 12:23 am

man I am PUMPED for Cavs/Heat. If I was you I'd avoid all scores and media and DL the torrent when you get home. Probably more pumped for this game than I'll be for game 1 of the finals

eyeteeth · Post #295 » by **eyeteeth** » Fri Dec 3, 2010 12:30 am

I just hope Cleveland beats them. That would make me smile.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #296 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Fri Dec 3, 2010 12:35 am

I read on the Cavs good forum a quote from Shaq that makes me wonder too, he said the Celtics were making bets whether or not he does the 'throw the powder up in the air' routine at the scorer's table

Krapinsky · Post #297 » by **Krapinsky** » Fri Dec 3, 2010 12:38 am

I started a game thread for Cavs games. Let's do it.

Post #298 » by **Klomp** » Fri Dec 3, 2010 12:39 am

So is there a game tonight? If there is, ESPN hasn't mentioned it once today...

I've debated starting a "More Athletic: Blake Griffin or LeBron James" thread on the Player Comparisons board.

Krapinsky · Post #300 » by **Krapinsky** » Fri Dec 3, 2010 12:53 am

Griffin seems to have more creativity/style points to go with his athleticism.
