    David Aldridge says yes:

    That's the reason he stays - the only place that makes remote sense is Sacramento, and he's already said he will refuse to re-sign if he ends up there. Of course, Chris Webber said the same thing...

    I think a major dark horse for Rondo could be the Bucks. All that team really needs is a consistent point guard who can play defense and push the pace when needed. They really aren't a horrible team on paper.

    They really like Brandon Knight, and he improved a lot for them last year. They also picked up Kendall Marshall.

    Knight and Rondo could coexist though. Knight is more of a scorer and Rondo is good enough defensively to guard 2s.

    Can we all officially stop pretending to like the Spurs? They're a low budget Lakers.

    Duncan acts like he's never fouled anybody in his life, most of their team flops and Pop is an ass that gets away with it because he wins.

    Wow, Jrue Holiday just welcomed Elfrid Payton to the NBA with an emphatic rejection!

    Anthony Davis will retire as one of the All time best if he keeps healthy and improving like this.

    The Pelicans are the Blazers of old, amazing talent but can't stay healthy. If they can do that this year then they are a huge dark horse in the west.

    The way the Pelicans are playing the passing lanes in this game is playoff quality. Their help defense hasn't been impressive yet.

    Tonight everyone bears witness to future rookie of the year Julius Randle.

    What is the sound that we play after blocks?

    The Pelicans are using the same sound. So far I had only heard it in Portland.

    He won't win it, he will spend to much time open with his hand in the air while Kobe takes a contested fadeaway from 18 feet.

    This mavs team reminds me of the team that they had when they won it.

    The overall competition this year is going to be amazing.
