I've been getting LP for the last 2+ years. Thank you to whoever for the ballstreams rec, you saved me a **** ton of money in 15 minutes or less! Better yet, now I can actually watch the Suns.

Did Marc Gasol lose a ton of weight? I could not recognize him, he gained some muscle too...

Watching the Pelicans game I'm so happy we don't have Eric Gordon, he sucks, lol.

Nice to see the Clips lose to the Kings. It's pretty crazy that OKC can play so well without Durant OR Westbrook. I wonder if they can keep it up.

I figured if they are both out for 4-6 weeks, that is about 20 games, and instead of going 15-5, they would maybe go 5-15, which basically would knock them down from wins in the high 50s to wins in the high 40s and possibly missing. If they can hover around 500 with those guys out, they likely finish with wins in the low 50s IF both those guys come back healthy.

The Clippers look pretty awful so far. Obviously with CP3 and Blake they are still very good on offense but their D is bad.

Yeah, I rarely pull for the Lakers but I was hoping they beat them the other night, as well as OKC the night before. Both teams hung tight with them for awhile. So I was very glad to see Sac beat them. Memphis hasn't looked as good either, so right now no one has really looked great in the west.

I guess you'd have to go with Miami looking good, and then Houston (though they've played a weak schedule) and GS, who has played a pretty weak schedule too, and then maybe Dallas as the teams that so far you can't really complain about much with them.

Zach Randolph is bullying Anthony Davis right now, it's a pretty sweet big man matchup.

Anyone else find it funny that now with Westbrook and Jackson both out, the Thunder may have the Suns PG lineup from couple years ago?

Speaking of the Thunder I came across this article on my FB feed. I can't post it because it has a curse word in it, lol. It's on Deadspin and basically says Kevin Durant is a phony.

Damn, look at the fg% in this Grizzlies/Pelicans game. Atrocious. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400578337

Marc Gasol could very well recapture the DPOY this year, Memphis managed to lock down and dominate the Davis/Asik/Anderson trio.

Grizz looking very good so far, that matchup coming up will be very tuff

Depending on how long Durant is really out, OKC could easily miss the playoffs. I imagine them being something like 5-11 before Westbrook even gets back in. Durant could easily be another 5-10 games after that.

Can Tony Allen be suspended for this? Their next game is against us.

Apparently the Thunder are cursed. Sure looks like it.

Maybe OKC needs to fire their medical staff

On the other hand I d never thought that I d see Robin Lopez the shots he was making against Cleveland.
I wasnt his fan, but I didnt hate him either. I just never thought that he would be a good starting center in the league.

(Let Len develop for another 3-4-5 yrs I guess? If he cant put it together completly during his rookie campaign we can have him for a good value contract for another 4 yrs...)
