    Oden started the second half, played a few minutes, and hasn't returned. I wonder if the knees started to swell after his first stint, and the Heat were using this game that they were losing big to see how he'd be after a halftime break.

    makes some sense.

    I'm trying to remember, did Amar'e have to sit out back-to-backs when he came back from his second MF until he'd gotten back into shape?

    Pelicans up 17 on Houston in the 2nd quarter. That would be a nice upset in terms of looking at the playoffs. Every loss by Houston/Dallas/Golden State/Denver/Memphis/Phoenix/Minnesota helps get the Blazers a half-game closer to a playoff spot.

    I don't remember, but it wouldn't surprise me. Part of me thinks that Riley wants to see where Oden's at physically, and if he can't recover to play consistently off of the bench, they'll try and sign Bynum to play back-up center as well.

    Another Wolves loss.

    They're now 18-20.

    Reading Rube Chat warms my cold black heart.

    I guess Jordan Crawford is missing for the Warriors tonight.

    Curry couldn't beat Faried off the dribble. Are you kidding me?

    Thought GS was supposed to be a good defensive team?

    Watching Hickson and Lee play defense against eachother is pure entertainment.

    3 points for Iggy in 34 minutes. Someone said he deserved All Star consideration?

    tough one for him because there's nobody for him to guard. Out there covering Chandler is a waste, but cant't stick with Lawson or Robinson.

    Shaw pulling a Nate, switching, getting Lawson on Lee. Good job.

    Why do the Nuggets keep switching on the pick? Horrible decision. Lee is abusing them.
