    Chalmers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Our PGs.

    We keep talking about Batum as a steal in that last draft, but Chalmers was a straight up burglary at pick #34.

    Utah choked big time. They had a 5 point lead with 55 secs left and the ball in regulation. Instead of running the clock down, they pushed the ball and picked up an offensive foul. Then in the first overtime, they choked an 8 point lead with more stupid decisions. Now Utah is going to lose (2 game losing streak) and we are going to be in first place!

    The Jermaine trade looks like it's working out for them too. 28 points and 8 boards tonight.

    Ridiculous. Just unbelievable how good Wade is.

    LeBron, Paul, Wade, Kobe. Those four are just on another level.

    Thank you D-Wade. It may not last but we're actualy in sole possession of first place in the division for at least another 22 hours or so.

    Not quite. He'll need to take another big step up to get there.

    Re: Utah/Miami... holy shit!

    No he isn't. Roy is in the next tier down from that. Roy is proving to be an elite scorer, and he can do everything, but Chris Paul is a legit quadruple double threat, LeBron is a freak of nature, and Kobe/Wade are just pure amazing. I don't think Roy is there yet. He might get there though, I'm not saying he couldn't. Just not yet.

    Re: Utah/Miami... holy shit!

    Nope. He's there. He's 8th in scoring despite playing much less possessions than the competition. He is clutch with game winners against New York and Houston. He can turn a bad game into a dominating game (see last night's game.) He scored 52 points against Phoenix when they were playing a slower pace. He had an NBA season high 10 steals in a game. Roy is in their class absolutely.
