    Chris Webber has improved a lot since he started with TNT/NBAtv.

    A sign of a decent team is the ability to win on the road, and win on the road against bad teams. So far, Minnesota hasn't, and so far, Portland had. Don't know if that trend will continue, but I think it's not a good sign that the Wolves aren't winning against crappy teams on the road AND they're 5-5 in their last 10.

    Of course, it's still waaaaaaaay too soon.

    I can see it now, Kobe Bryant comes back against Portland on a Sunday in LA to snap the blazers winning streak and send them in a tailspin. Fuck the NBA.

    Despite having the two highest payrolls in the NBA, the Brooklyn Nets ($102,211,009) and New York Knicks ($88,249,065) are both 3-7.

    If the Wolves season falls apart do we make an offer for Kevin Love? Him and Aldridge would be a crazy frontcourt duo.

    Didn't the Knicks have this exact problem 5 years ago? I thought something was supposed to change. That dumbass Dolan is the Al Davis of the NBA. Unfortunately for Knicks fans he doesn't look to be dieing anything soon.

    Just watched the Wiz vs Wolves game...... can't believe Minny blew a 20 point lead in this game. It's tough to win on the road, no matter who you're playing!

    Classic!

    All three networks that carry the NBA (NBAtv/ESPN/TNT) have outstanding pre- and post-game shows. I can't remember the last time on a Sunday I watched an NFL pre-game or post-game show, and same with NCAA football, but there are times that I won't watch the 4th quarter of a TNT game, and then tune in solely to watch Chuck/Kenny/Shaq/Ernie and their 3-ring circus.

    Hold on a second. Al Davis actually won titles, and until he became senile and weird, knew as much about football as any executive in the NFL.

    Phoenix blew a big lead as well to Sacramento. I wonder why Bledsoe did not play.

    Re: The 2013-14 Around The NBA Thread......

    Rubio is off to another 14-16 PER season, and still can't shoot. 33% from 2pt this year going into tonight. He's a good passer, but not all-time great, because he turns the ball over.

    He is what he is ... an average NBA PG who needs to be a role player on a good team, instead of a "star" on a bad team.

    He reminds me a bit of the soccer player Freddie Adu, in that he was so hyped as a youngster, then became just and average player professionally as an adult.

    DMC is unstoppable.....except when he thinks he is a PG. I have never seen someone make some many great plays, and follow them up with extremely dumb moves. He keeps getting better though.

    Outlaw with the big shot of the night in that game

    I would hate to have to put so much faith in such a mediocre player
