N.1.A.K.

Steph Curry is out for this game. A tough game just got a whole lot tougher.

would have taken away from Chandler's production though... and he had a pretty monster game tonight!

more Melo ='s less of Fields and Chandler... is that a good thing? EDIT: less of Fields and Chandler (especially) in this game would have ='d a loss as well as far as i could tell by looking at the box score...

if it comes down to the bench then the Lakers have the advantage. especially if Lee and Biedrins get into early foul trouble.

who would have thought that Shelden Williams can actually play in the NBA? im surprised Kevin Martin shot more trey's than he did FT's after watching him against the Warriors the other day. Rockets hold the Nuggets to 38% shooting but lose because they can't take care of the ball. 19 TO's? Way to much. Rocket fans still missin Lowry?

let's not hop on the Hornets bandwagon too quickly here. Paul has this team playing well but let's see how long Ariza can hold off on shooting this team out of games.

too much Mayo, Gay and Conley in this one. is Conley finally breaking out this year?

Brandon Jennings is a monster. Second player to get a triple-double this year(?) Good game for Augustin as well, its just too bad he couldn't slow down Jennings and get the W for his team.

Austin Daye, where are you???????????????????????? EDIT: Joakim Noah = BEAST!

I know it's been said already, but !DAMN!, Wilson Chandler is beasting!

Wizards shoot 50% from the field and hold ATL to 42% and 16 TO's, but still lost. Their own miscues (17 TO's) and ATL getting to the line (26-30, 87%) was the result of the win. Arenas and Howard need to come back to give these guys some depth. Having Hinrich and Thornton off the bench will definitely help this team down the stretch.

Can't believe they lost to the team that i predicted to be the worst in the West. However, the worst in the West should still be better than the bottom 3 teams in the East... Cavs, Raptors, Wizards (best to worst order)

seriously, who is the 76ers go to guy? Brand and Jrue are the two players with the most shot attempts... Lou Williams had the most points... Iggy and Turner combine for 21 points.

The Nets are gunna be good this year... dare i say 8th seed? no lower than 10th though.. 35 wins is the lowest this team should get.

End of the Year awards? NICE!!!

welcome to OTR... i've only been here a short while and im already hooked. im sure the same will happen to you!

not the outcome i was looking for... lets get them tomorrow!

crucial game in the Series. Giants can all but end it tonight while the Rangers can climb back in it!

couldnt agree more. he was doing well in the 1st quarter, however he got in foul trouble in the 2nd Quarter and then never got it going in the 2nd half. TO's and ill-advised shot attempts were his story in the 2nd half. EDIT: but you can't blame him because on certain possessions they gave him the ball and basically told him to get to work with everyone else just standing around.

lol @ Melo and Afflalo not picking up that ball.

id also like to say that the Western Conference Finals is a pretty deep run in the playoffs... i think the Hornets also took the Spurs to a Game 7 in that series... Paul has led his team deeper into the playoffs than any other Western Conference PG except for... Tony Parker, Derek Fisher or Jason Kidd in the last 10 years. and i think its safe to say that those 3 PG's arent the best player on their respective teams ( Duncan, Kobe, Dirk)

i can agree with everything except for the part where he gets the Knicks past the first round. i dont think the Knicks get past the Heat Celtics or Magic. if they play the Hawks or Bucks then ya... but not the top 3.

and to stay on topic, i would take Amare over Bosh. IMO Bosh has a habit of being a ghost out on the floor, even on the offensive end at certain points in the game... not the case with Amare. Amare also has the ability to dominate a game. i never get the feeling Bosh has that ability... even when he puts up 30 points in a game.

Paul is a career 47% from the field. 35% from trey and 85% from the charity stripe. DEFINITELY not a good shooter!

his jumper is better than Boozer's or David West's? EDIT: i do think Amare has a good jumper.. hell he has apparently extended his range to the 3 point line... but it doesnt mean its as consistent as West's or Boozer's J.
