With the Spurs' loss to the Clippers today, the Knicks are the only unbeaten team left in the league.

Lakers 1-4 is nice to see, though it just reminds me of the 67-win Mavs, who started like that as well, so I think it's early too fire Brown.

Miami's improving defense is also nice. :)

People in Lakertown are not known for their patience. ;) Like I mentioned here, Brown will most likely not survive a 1-15 start. Personally I have doubts he'd be still at the helm when the Lakers go off to a 3-13 start...

Aldridge needs to get his ass back in the paint. Terry Stotts is having him take too many 20 footers. Dump his ass in the paint and let him work. Occasional Pick and pops are ok too

Don't beat me if I say it was just a matter of time.
But that Wolves squad really surprises me. They came away with the W again last night. Great team effort.

I don't know. Diop's free throw still takes the cake for me.

What a win!
Cats still are far away from being a good team. But by now I have to change my prediction as the worst team in the east (maybe the entire league?!) are now the Pistons...

I suggest people watch that game. It really showcases Kemba and MKG's skills. Sessions came up in the clutch and Byron Mullens actually looked like a center except for the few threes he threw up. Really fun game to watch.

Kemba was credited for 8 steals, but he had at least 10. I could even make a case for 11. MKG and Kemba were super tenacious all night and came up huge at both ends.


This win also means we have now beaten every team in the league. This was our first win against the Mavericks. Ever.

Hard to pick the worst out of Biedrins' attempt and that one from Diop a few seasons back. Toss a coin and hope it doesn't come down.

From a woeful free throw to an awesome block:

Early candidate for the top ten blocks of the year, in my book. Nice.

It seems like every now and then, Andre Miller does something completely out of the blue. Amazing block.

I'd probably rate the Biedrins free throw worse, since he had absolutely no arc on it whatsoever; at least the Diop one gets a little air.

Yeah it was a crazy game. Spurs' shooters went crazy but Batum started going nuts himself late in the game. Fun game to watch.

Holy shit. Am I seeing things right? Grizzlies making the Heat look like a D-League team.

John Schuhmann: Just noticed that LaMarcus Aldridge took 22 of his 26 shots from outside the paint on Sat. I guess he didn't get the message from @Jason Quick.

Heat were on the wrong side of a back-to-back; tired. Grizzlies always cause Heat problems (as do most teams with legit big men, which isn't many). If i was a betting man, which i'm not, i would've put money on the Grizzlies.
