    Philly definitely is good, but they haven't had much competition to show how good they really are. CHI is missing two starters. ORL who they just beat was missing two starters. Besides those two games, they haven't really beat anyone good.

    yet.

    COY in my book is Frank Vogel thus far.

    Who do we want to win? The Jizz or Clippers?

    There's just no way for me to root for the Jazz.

    neither?
    lol
    I'd say jazz, just because I expect them to fall off later, so getting a team expected to be in the playoffs in LA another loss is better, IMO.

    Clippers have 6 points on 3 powerful dunks by Blake Superior.

    I think they were already better than OKC (more well rounded). This helps them even more. Probably the WCF favs right now.

    I agree and think they are also a fun team to root for. It does kill a little if you believe the reports that we had a deal for Paul untl NO ownership rejected it.

    If the Hornets killed the deal ... then we never really had a deal.

    Would you also say that the Lakers never really had a deal for Paul?

    They certainly did. The league killed that deal, not the two parties. And yes I know the league is the "owner" in this weird special case, but our deal fell through when Shinn still owned them.

    Same concept though. The GM's agreed, and the owner vetoed.

    Here's a nice piece of news: apparently Dwight Howard has said he wouldn't re-sign for the Lakers if they traded for him. (Nelson voice) Ha ha!

    I guess this is bad news for the Magic, since the Lakers were their best chance to get any value at all for Howard. And Big Baby blowing up at SVG and getting suspended isn't going to make them feel better...

    You know what? I wouldn't want Dwight on my team; I think he's a front-runner -- the kind of guy that when things are going well he's great to have around, but when adversity strikes he folds like a cheap K-Mart tent.

    He's certainly super-talented and a physical freak, but I'd lay pretty good money that he never wins a ring as a team's alpha dog.

    Interesting stat...

    Kevin Love is 3rd in the NBA in FTA per game at 9. Just behind Dwight and Lebron. So what is it, superstar calls? Or relentlessly hard worker that knows how to draw the foul?

    He's among elite company in that top 10.

    Stephen Jackson in the dog house in Milwaukie racking up DNP-CD's. He could probably be had for a penny on the dollar.
