Chris Bosh decided to show-up today.

Clippers with 1-11 win/lose record booohoo...

[Murat]

Clippers is a team that I love them more and more, exacty it's very horrible to see Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin is not enough for them, I can say no one is working for wins.

[Alpha_]

Badger, absolutely.. anyway, there still a lot of time to gel..

[Martti.]

Nice to see Bosh finally break out of his slump. Also, LeBron's 20-9-8-3 steals in 23 minutes was quite nice.

[Modifly]

LeBron came close to getting a triple double for about 4 games in a row now.

[rise]

Kind of disappointed he didn't make it, good that Bosh decided to Heat up.

[Lamrock]

As someone who owns his jersey, lives in Seattle, supports UW basketball and loves the Blazers, it pains me to say this but... gtfo Roy. The team isn't as good (offensively at least) with him out, but they are always so much funner to watch.

[buzzy]

Shit's going down tonight. Joel vs. Kwame, it's on.

[Martti.]

Not even close.

[Phil89]

Thunder leading Celtics without Durant and Green.

Impressive win if they can hold on.

Mirror Universe Hall of Famer Darko sighting.

Shaved off his goatee though.

[J@3]

Mavericks suck

[Lamrock]

23/16/5 on 10-18 for Darko? Wtf? The Mavs do suck. They're on the same level as the BRoy/Olden-less Blazers but at least Portland is fun to watch.

A day-late comment from the Suns/Magic game, but it seems working with Hakeem in the offseason has paid off for Howard. He's never going to have The Dream's fluidity or offensive repertoire but he does seem to be adding to his post game. He's pulling out that midrange bankshot too, good to see him expanding his game.

23 pts. 16 rebs. 6 blks. 5 asts. for DARKO MILICIC.. yes DARKO MILICIC.. career game hahaha..

[The X]

Darko's not as bad as he started the season & he's not as good as he played today. Somewhere in-between.

[benji]

Been telling you guys, Darko is a superstar. Well, the one that crosses over from the other universe. But our version doesn't give a shit. At all. Larry Brown didn't help matters by refusing to play him no matter what, so he was just like "fuck it." When he decides he feels like it and swaps place with the Mirror Universe one he'll tear teams apart because he's basically impossible to control.

Brown should have just let him be the giant version of Toni Kukoc he wanted to be and gave him at least ten minutes a game, every game in the same spots of the game. The rebounding and shot blocking would have always been there simply from his size. Darko needed to be drafted to a team who would play him no matter what because he was their lottery pick and they sucked, but had a coach who could develop players. Getting drafted to a near contender who had a coach who hates foreigners and rookies, and then trading for Sheed mid-season which makes the team a complete contender. Well that was never going to work.

I mean Andrea Bargnani was a #1 pick, has logged tons of minutes and seems to be the only thing one franchise has going for them. Darko would have been an All-Star by now in that kind of situation.

Imagine a Darko who didn't check out after his first season and turned all that wanting to rape entire families rage into a giant version of Toni Kukoc that rebounded and blocked shots. I'll be in my bunk.

Modern D-League probably would have helped. Look at Amir Johnson!

They're on the same level as the BRoy/Olden-less Blazers but at least Portland is fun to watch.

That's a complete matter of subjectivity.

But holy fuck most of this team is awful.

[benji]

They should swap Rick Carlisle for Flip Saunders.

[Cleveland wins]

Interesting match up between thunder and bucks tonight, Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City against Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee bucks. Which point gaurd will score more? I think Westbrook will have a better scoring night, which point gaurd will have more assists, probably Westbrook.

Utah against Portland is going to be a nice game as well, Marcus Camby and Lamarcus Aldrige against Al Jefferson and Paul Milsap. And finally how is Dwight Howard going to fare against Roy Hibbert, both players can do similar things, both can score, block and rebound. Interesting center match up between those two teams, Danny Granger is going to have a big night, if he's healthy and is playing.

[Modifly]

The Houston Rockets officially suck. There I said it.

[Axel The Great]

Good to know we're on the same page now Modi.

[Axel The Great]

Wow, game-winning buzzer-beater by Rudy Gay against the Heat.

[dare]

Miami lost against Memphis, Rudy Gay is clutch.
