Offense is looking MUCH better right now, good to see. Blatche has taken some bad shots, but he's being much more aggressive.

Dray with the first shot of the game right over Josh Smith, good sign.

Welcome to OTR.

Almost gametime, can't wait.

Who would you take? Alonzo when he first started off his career (probably his best days, he was amazing from the get go) or Dwight right now?

He's making 10.8 mill this year, don't think that's considered "mid priced".

I thought the plan was to let Parker walk and let George Hill take over? Guess not...but it's definitely a good deal for the Spurs.

Kinda disappointed, was expecting much better. Going to give it another listen later, but from what I heard the first time around, nothing really stood out to me. If anyone else needs a DL link, hit me up.

Yoooo hows it going man? One of the best posters I've came across on forums, great to have you here. BTW, I think this counts towards my recruits.

The Magic were a terrible first game for a rookie point guard, even one of Wall's caliber. Not only are the Magic one of the top 3 defensive teams in the league (and that might be understating them), but they're also the most prepared team coming out of the gate this season (they didn't just win every game in the preseason, but they weren't challenged in the preseason, this team is really about business) and they're also one of the best coached teams in the league (which translates especially on the defense end). Wall did try to do too much last night, but that was mainly because no one on the Wizards was ready to do much of anything. They were passing up easy shots to take harder shots, there was little to no movement, no one was even attempting to set up in the post, it was just a godawful performance. Wall will be fine once he settles down. He had some good looks but just rushed the shots. He also looked solid on defense, which is comforting (at least when he wasn't chasing down his man on the pick and roll because the help defense was just standing there and staring). He'll let the game come to him, so long as he's not playing an excellent defensive team that's really forcing the issue with him (knowing full well that no one else on the Wizards is going to hurt them). I agree with basically everything you said. I hated the hype (I guess you can call it that) surrounding JeVale McGee. He just doesn't get it. He doesn't have a good feel for the game at all, and it's a huge concern moving forward. I can somewhat understand Blatche's performance, it was abysmal in so many ways, but you gotta give credit to Orlando's defense. When they weren't doubling him, he was being guarded by Dwight, so he was really just left in no man's land. He couldn't do anything last night. I also think last night's game is a reason to look forward to Arenas' comeback next week. We need that extra boost on offense, someone to take the pressure off of Wall and give him another kick out shooter. We don't have many knock down shooters, so if Arenas is able to successfully make the transition to an off the ball scorer, we may be able to win some games and help John get more comfortable in the offense. We're still trying to figure things out, we have a ton of holes on this team, and they won't be filled in one season. This rebuilding process will take a while, and after witnessing two straight disgraceful seasons, I'm willing to stay patient.

PG - Chauncey Billups SG - Ray Allen SF - Kevin Durant PF - Antawn Jamison C - Yao Ming 2nd team PG - Deron Williams SG - Brandon Roy SF - Shane Battier PF - Dirk Nowitzki C - Dwight Howard

Rondo is just amazing, 10 points, 24 assists, 10 rebounds. Incredible performance by him. Love what Glen Davis has been doing for the C's so far this year, he's been looking great. But, they still are struggling to close out games.

That might have been one of the most dominant quarters I have ever seen. Orlando couldn't do anything in the third. I think Orlando needs to trade for another good offense weapon. First player to come to mind- Gilbert Arenas.

This trade puzzles me in so many ways. For the Bulls, why are they trying to trade one of their few knock down shooters? Iggy is a slasher, they don't need that. Deng is more than capable of playing in this offense, just give it time once Boozer comes back. They don't need Iguodala. They don't need his slashing ability nor his ability to defend (they brought in Ronnie Brewer just for that role). The Sixers should be considering offers for Iguodala, but they need to receive some picks and young talent/expiring contracts. Don't see any point in receiving virtually the same contract. If you want Evan Turner to be the main guy, then go out and trade Iggy for some useless players with nice expiring contracts.

West is known to be bipolar, so he probably was the main cause of the fight. He's screwing up his chances with the Celtics, he's walking a very fine line right now. Either that or Wafer banged Delonte's mom, would be pretty ironic.

How far do you see this team going in the playoffs? If they are healthy throughout the season, where do you think they would be in the West?

Gameover, looking forward to the game in Atlanta on Saturday now. Hopefully that's closer. -_-

Lol wow Jason Williams with two straight techs. Orlando has had 3 this quarter.

Finally Wall is attacking the basket.

Flip needs to show this team some tape of the Celtics offense. One pass, one shot, one miss, every time down the floor.
