Ooo weee. I don't remember Kenyon Martin (talking about Mexi's post and comparison) ever looking this good even before his knee injuries.

Once again, the Clippers fight hard, and than fall out at the end of game. Although, as long as Blake Griffin stays healthy, they will turn more of those games into wins. This one might be one of those wins. Right now, they're down 91-81 with under 3 minutes left.

I'm probably going to jinx it but.

Dirk started the season making 72 free throws in a row, went 6 of 6

He's at 78 in a row
Record is 97.

Come on Dirk!

im going to say a couple things

1. I LOVE the Warriors. I saw the 2nd half tonight. wow. they actually tried to play D. still gave up a million points lol but its a start. too many wing players, but they're an awesome team

2. back to oakland. best unis, best logo, best colors, best court in the NBA. Love it

3. I like Blake Griffin, but John Wall is going to win ROY

idk what else i want to say?
OKC is overhyped
the team that worries me most in the west is Portland

Yup. Roy when he's healthy, damn. He's just smooth, the face of a stone cold killer that just does his job. Makes the big shot and walks away. Makes the big plays and just moves onto the next one. If he's healthy going into the post-season, they will be that team to watch out for.

And damn, the thing about being into so many sports is the friggin names. I looked at the Warriors box score and saw "D.Wright" I was like "Wtf is David Wright doing playing basketball?" LOL Same thing happened when I did my NBA fantasy leagues just a couple days ago... I was like "oh <Censored>, Ray Lewis is available this late... wait a minute, Ray Lewis? R.Lewis = RASHARD Lewis" SMFH

Also it's not a total loss for the CLippers tonight. Not that bad of a loss, they did hang with one of the better teams in the West. Barring the injury questions, if Baron continues to care, Blake keeps playing hard, and when Kaman gets his stroke back.... oh... oh... what a year of basketball for LA.

yes i do remember you saying that
idk about KG though. KG was so smooth. Blake is more power

idk if he'll ever have that automatic of a jumper. he might. i know he's working on it

but you also have to remember that many players come in as dunkers/power with a semi reliable shot but then after a few years they become more smooth and shoot more. not saying blake will be just like kg but the way he plays just makes me think of a stronger kg. either way, barring injury blake will be a superstar.

The Clippers need to get rid of Baron/Kaman.. They both inefficient ball hogs. They pretty much suck. They won't help his growth.

Highlights from last night:

Favors had a nice pick and roll with Farmar at 6:20 and he caught a nice alley from TWill at 6:41
Go to 12:05 for the 12-0 run (in the final minute) that gave the Nets the lead for good.

Blake Griffin is going to win ROY, that dude is nasty in every way and because Arenas is going to be a negative influence on Wall, to the point where Wall will get less touches because of it.

He's not gonna be a negative influence. He already knows it's wall team. Like he said not too long ago. He's there to show John the ropes and be on his way out.

I dont think so, Arenas has a great lack of common sense. I think Arenas will say something just to appease people and do something else, as evidenced by stating that he lied about the injury to the media so Nick Young could play.

Either Way I still expect Wall to be a contender for ROY. Arenas knows Saunders/Management will make him fall back when it comes to Wall.

Once ET starts..he'll be a contender too..just wont have the chances the other 2 have.

Anybody watch the Hornets last night?

For the first game with 9 new players, and a first time head coach I liked what I saw.

I love Belinelli, no homo.

Roy Hibbert led the Pacers in scoring...love that! Roy for MIP. (During one of the games last night they were talking about someone else who would be in the running for MIP...anyone know who that was??? I'm thinking it was JJ Hickson...but not sure.

I get to watch the Wizards - Magic game, then the Jazz - Suns game....i'm excited.
