I have to disagree with that, Thompson has been a beast and he doesnt even start.

I think hes putting up 12 and 8 off the bench.

Amare with 49 in a win against the Pacers... mask and all.

 

[.GR]

Spencer Hawes for threeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Lebron rolled his ankle for the second time tonight, nothin too serious though.

 

[elcheato]

Cavs win 107-93.

LeBron James with 41 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. He has now made 28 of his last 31 Free Throws, and that is my favorite stat of him so far for this year. If he can constantly hit those FT's, he'll be unstoppable. Good offensive game for the Cavs, great defensive game, solid all around yet again.

MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade scored 29 points, Mario Chalmers set a franchise record with nine steals, and the Miami Heat scored 12 straight points in the fourth quarter to pull away and beat the Philadelphia 76ers 106-83 on Wednesday night.

Wade added seven rebounds and six assists. The Heat forced 26 turnovers -- matching the most in the NBA this season -- and moved to 2-0 at home for the first time since 2004.
Cookies!
Heat rookie Mario Chalmers, who set a franchise record for steals in a game with nine, tied for the second-most steals in a single game by a rookie in NBA history.
Player


Michael Beasley finished with 17 points, and Shawn Marion -- playing with a hard plastic mask to protect a broken nose -- added 12 points and seven rebounds for Miami (2-2). Yakhouba Diawara scored 11 points and Udonis Haslem added 10 for the Heat.

Thaddeus Young scored 12 of his 19 points in the first quarter for Philadelphia, which got 16 points from Louis Williams and a 12-point, 12-rebound night from Elton Brand. Andre Miller finished with 11 points and six assists for the 76ers (2-3).

The Heat were 9-32 at home last season, but in two games in their building this season, have outscored their two foes by an average of 24.5 points and held both Sacramento and Philadelphia under 40-percent shooting.

The only other team with 26 turnovers in a game this season? Sacramento, in Miami's home opener.

Unlike that game against the Kings, though, this one wasn't a blowout the whole way.

Philadelphia got within nine points on three occasions in the second half, but was never able to get any closer. And playing from behind seemed to take a toll on the 76ers, who were outscored 31-20 in the final quarter.

With Wade more assertive offensively than usual in the opening minutes -- maybe it was the mid-high socks, a new look for him, or an old pair of his Wade brand Converse sneakers -- the Heat jumped out to a quick 11-2 lead and didn't slow down much in the opening half, eventually leading by as many as 24 before settling for a 59-38 lead at the break.

The 76ers gave the ball away 17 times in the opening two quarters and Miami capitalized, holding a 14-0 edge in points off turnovers.

But in the third, the 76ers began looking inside on almost every possession and slowly chipped away. Miller had six points in a 16-2 run over a 5-minute stretch of the quarter, drawing Philadelphia within 65-56, and the Heat seemed very much on the ropes.

That didn't last long.

Wade ended the drought with a driving dunk, Haslem hit back-to-back 15-footers from straightaway, and the lead was back to 17 with 35.6 seconds remaining in the third. Philadelphia got within nine points again early in the final quarter, before Beasley and Wade combined to score the game's next 10 points and keep Miami in control until the end.

Game notes
The Heat had 12 steals in the first half. Entering Wednesday, only three teams had posted a higher number in a full game so far this year. ... Heat C Mark Blount notched a season high for rebounds after only four minutes -- with two. He finished with five rebounds. ... Tim Hardaway, who was in the building Wednesday, had the former Miami franchise record for steals in a game with eight. ... Miami's football past and present were in the stands, with former Dolphins coach Don Shula and Miami Hurricanes quarterback Robert Marve in attendance.

I bet you it's because they haven't played the Lakers yet.

Yes sir!! Those Clippers really look like they're challenging the Lakers for whichever is the better team in LA :rotfl:

 

[Mexi]

what a great NBA night.
LeBron did his thing, Amare went off with 49 and Tony Parker, WOW. 55/10 assists!? pretty damn impressive.

oh yeah to echo Whisper, the Clippers led the Lakers 81-79 with like 8 minutes left in the 4th, then the Lakers went on a 21-0 run, and won the game 106-88
