I think Ainge is making a move for Wiggins in the draft, but that could be just me.
At any rate, just watched the interview where Gary Payton says that he inspired Allen Iverson's infamous "practice" rant...
Neither goony beard-men nor rainbow-haired she-twinks will stand in the way of my dreams!

I feel like a lot of teams have been committing a lot of turnovers.
Also, is it just my imagination, or does Michael Jordan always wear the same brown suit?
Unfortunately, I don't have any channels that play NBA games right now, so I can't see for myself: what is up with Derrick Rose? 6:8 Assists:Turnovers tonight? Poor shooting so far?

Oh. My. Goooooooooood.
I'm really worrying we don't have a glass point guard.
Hopefully he's still finding his groove. Hopefully he's not being too aggressive. He didn't get to the line at all, though...
Unfortunately I still don't have any sports channels to watch the games.

7-1, second in defensive rating. Spurs look great, and this isn't even their best ball IMO.
Pacers are 8-0, though (!!!!!!!!)

Not quite sure who lit a fire under Indiana's ass, but it seems to be working well enough.

It's called the 'playing 6 of your first 8 games against the Eastern Conference' fire.
There are NINE Western Conference teams that have the same record or better as the 2nd placed team in the East (Miami). Yes, the 9th placed team in the West, has the same record as the 2nd placed team in the East.
I'm reading this because it's interesting. I think. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, over.

The weak Eastern Conference once again?
Say, any possible newcomers in the Playoffs?

What an epic comeback by the Mavs v. the Rockets!
Despite the atrocious officiating and the gravity amplification feature of someone's beard...

I'm a couple of months behind, but I learned a new nickname today: "Dwight Coward"!

This is getting really frustrating. Obviously it would be for him as well.

Man, injuries always happen to the worst possible players to get injured, don't they...

You've been warned several times about wishing injuries on people. If you keep on doing it, I'll alert a mod myself. Change your post.

Derrick Rose will have surgery on Monday. Out indefinitely.
Bulls are done. Pacers remain the toughest threat to the Heat, though that says little when the East is at historic lows.
Look at Brooklyn and New York. Jesus Christ.
Role Model
Maan... Rose is out for the season. This sucks.
They're still likely a playoff team.
Bulls' title chances are over. They'll make the playoffs from their defense, but their offense will suffer even more than it has now.
Rose was rusty to begin with, so this may be a career killer for him. A torn ACL and a torn meniscus? Fuck, man.
And somehow, despite having a 6-9 record and Rudy "I want all stat sheets banned from the locker room" Gay, the Raptors are leading the Atlantic division.

Yeah, things are quite weird in terms of conference comparisons.
Number of East teams that are currently .500 or better: three, IND, MIA, ATL
Nuber of West teams that are currently .500 or better: twelve, every team except NO, SAC, and UTA
But we're still at a point where all teams seems to have played more than half of their games within the conference.

Tim Duncan has now edged Robert Parish for the distinction of "oldest player to score 20 points and grab 20 rebounds".
Also hit the game-winner against the Hawks.

Crazy double-overtime thriller between the Orlando Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers ended in the latter's win - but not before Victor Oladipo and Michael Carter-Williams became the first pair of rookies to each notch a triple-double.

Portland at #1? BEAST.
Raptors spoiling Kobe's return
All is good.
The Raptors didn't collapse in the 4th quarter for once.
I'd be happier if it wasn't for the fact that
1. It's only the first game of the season
2. The Celtics seem to be dead set on tanking this year.
