    Mo Williams had a monster game tonight for the Wolves..19pts, 6 reb, 7 assists and 3 steals in 29 minutes!
    Raymond Felton on the other hand played less than a minute and a half, had 0 stats except 1 BA and fell driving to the lane to be carried off the court

    Its weird to me how many guards the Suns have on that roster that are worthy of playing time. Are they going to be better this year or was last season a fluke?

    It was a little flukey. The suns are well coached and have some talent but I see them regressing to 40-42 wins.

    It might be just preseason but they swing the ball well and transition very well. They rotate on defense decently too, very opportunistic as well.

    This might be just the LeBron effect though. He can make any team look good. Hell, I'd bet he could take any nba team to the playoffs.

    Shit, that's big. They will still make the playoffs though.

    In the post game presser, Chris Haynes just asked Bosh what it was like playing against Lebron.

    Wow! Huge blow to the Thunder! I doubt WestBrick can carry them the way Durant did.

    Kobe looks really slow. A lot of guards are gonna abuse the Lakers, but what else is new I suppose.

    I can't wait for Kobe to demand he guard Lillard out of pride.
