    Charlotte and NOLA are always empty as well. It's the weirdest feeling seeing nobody there to support their team.

    well,they kind of had justification for "abandoning" the original Hornets.

    The @trailblazers (15-3) could go .500 the rest of the way (32-32) & still finish w/ 14 more wins than last season (33-49)

    @TrailBlazers (15-3) are currently 3rd in 3PT% (41.30%). They rank as the most improved team by 3PT% from last season (+6.0%)

    Carter-Williams (27p, 12r, 10a) & Oladipo (26p, 10r, 10a) become first pair of rookies in @NBAHistory to record triple-doubles in same game.

    Really? Indiana, SA, and Miami all seem to be taking the early part of the regular season very seriously. OKC too. For the record, magnifier and I both predicted the Blazers would play this great BEFORE the season started. Even NB3 picked us to get 5 seed. So it's not like we're overreacting to our great started. It is, in fact, what we expected.

    Could anyone find out what the playoff record is of teams that start 15-3? Elias, anyone? Our game against Indiana was the first game in 20 years in which two teams with such great records played each other. And we won the game.

    The Rockets won't have Parsons, Lin, Asik and Smith again tonight due to injuries. Garcia will start for Parsons vs. the #Suns.

    I really get pissed off when I watch the Suns play other teams and Dragic doesnt go off like he does on us. Some players just have certain teams numbers I guess.

    And the Morris brothers missing way more mid range shots than what they make against us. This is why they won't make the playoffs. They play down to their competition. Bad teams can beat them
