    Bledsoe looks like he's got himself the starting PG gig in LA.

    Shelden Williams finally living up the hype he had coming out of college. I remember when that dude was the 'Landlord' at Duke. Great college player.

    But, he's looking pretty good so far this season.

    Chris Bosh looks like a role player. It's early but his numbers are going to to take a pretty big drop.

    He shouldn't. He's really the only competent post player on that team. When I've watched he's been shooting 15 ft. jumpers all game.

    Mick- that is and has always been Bosh's game. Jumpers.

    Is anyone else watching the very spirited game between our next two opponents right now? Toronto is giving the Lakersall they can handle. We better not overlook them tomorrow.

    Look at Bosh shot charts throughout his career. Baseline jumpers are hardly his complete offensive game.

    True. He shoots from the elbow too.

    He's scores in the paint too. Look it up.

    Of course. Everyone scores in the paint. But Bosh's go to move is the 15 foot jumper. And he's money.

    Whoa. The WARRIORS held the Jazz to 78 points!! The new coach in town has obviously laid down some new ground rules.

    He's also good with his back-to-the-basket post moves. Great finishing off the back board with his left from in close.

    Absolutely. But his bread butter has always been his jumpers so don't suddenly be surprised when you see it this season. He did it last season too.

    I'm not surprised, never said I was. But, that was all he has done. He isn't getting position down in the paint at all this year. Thats not good when he's the only player on the team that can.

    Phoenix and Memphis in a double overtime game. Pretty exciting. Memphis should be good, but they aren't.

    Randolph has been hurt and they're 2-3.

    I've been watching the Memphis/Phoenix game. Memphis had it won in regulation, but Rudy Gay had a brain cramp. Channing Frye is horrible. He's the most overpaid player in the league.

    Randolph isn't going to make much of a difference. We've already went over this, he's not a winner.

    Jerryd Bayless has a PER of -4.0! You'd think Monte would know when/how to use him in his system.

    Tonight vs. the Warriors Andrea Bargnani, all 7'1" of him, managed to gather ONE rebound in 21 min. of play.

    Steph Curry beasted the Raptors with 34 pts (shooting 57%) while his backcourt mate tallied 28 pts (shooting 59%). Ellis also left the game with an awkward back injury.

    Curry and Ray Allen are probably the most pure shooters in the league. Such a feathery touch.
