And the NBA is officially back.

[john26]

They did http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playbypla ... =320129017

[Andrew]

Phew. Had they not taken advantage it would've been a tough call to make as to which was worse, the offense or the defense.

[Lamrock]

Denver's definitely my second favorite team this year. Fun to watch - especially as a contrast to

the knicks.

[Kenny]

Even if they beat the Clippers tonight, they probably won't have anything on the NBA.com highlight reel...

[john26]

Another epic fail by the Knicks at home. Dumb coach, overrated players. You don't shoot a quick three (a low percentage shot) over a quick 2 with that much time on the clock.

[NovU]

I am not a Knicks fan or anything but whenever I was watching their game I was frustrated with their stagnant offense. But at least Amare came alive tonight against a very good team. That's perhaps a good sign.

[Lamrock]

Meanwhile, in Blazerland, the team is underachieving severely because our point guard is sucking and nobody can close games. Nate McMillan also doesn't like playing our second best big in Craig Smith very many minutes for whatever reason. To top it off, more knee surgery for Oden.

[Andrew]

I hope Oden can make it back one day and at least have a solid career. The odds aren't looking good with surgery after surgery but there's talent there. A legit centre who can get you a double double playing just half the game may not justify the number one pick, but is still potentially a valuable player to have in the rotation...health permitting.

[Kenny]

The Nuggets are playing the other team from Los Angeles at the moment. Hopefully Denver can prove they have at least one all-star in this game.

[Andrew]

Not a bad game so far in Denver. Exciting finish in Boston, with a potential game-clinching Paul Pierce three waved off being just a whisker too late beating the shot clock. Celtics go on to win it anyway.

Just like Bosh last playoffs.

[shadowgrin]

Like LeBron also did in the Finals?

[NovU]

More like Bosh in the Conference Finals?

[deihatein]

I think the Bosh flop happened during the regular season?

[Andrew]

Bosh's flop was the regular season. It's still the worst in my opinion, due to the very late reaction.

[Andrew]

Tony Parker becomes the Spurs' all-time leader in assists, passing Avery Johnson:

Steve Nash got the franchise record for the Suns a couple of days ago:

I am glad it was Duncan who got the shot for Parker.It is well deserved for Parker.I can also say that Parker made his case about being in the reserves for the all-star game in tonight's win.

[[Q]]

JEREMY LIN FINALLY GETS SOME PLAYING TIME

[NovU]

AND HE OUTPLAYED D-WILL AND IT SEEMS CHANDLER ENJOYS PLAYING WITH HIM

J-LIN : 25 pts on 10/19, +13 +/-, 7 ast, 2 stl, 1 to
D-WILL: 21 pts on 7/19, -3 +/-, 11 ast, 3 stl, 3 to

[Lamrock]

To be fair. Deron hasn't been trying this season.

[john26]

wiz and raps - lots of swagger in this game for 2 shit teams with a bunch of chuckers scrambling around.

[Dc311]

Duncan 19 points 17 boards.Where the hell is he getting this energy?Cool game.Defense is getting better.
