    I think the nets are going to be sitting right around .500 come trade deadline and they will be looking to add a big name to try and fire things up. There owner has also shown a willingness to take on huge money so I can see the nets not thinking twice and doing it. The knicks will leap with joy to get out of stoudmires 60 mill remaining.

    Cousins has even less value now, after being suspended for conduct detrimental. Isn't this the second time for him?

    If Phil Jackson really wanted a challenge he should take the Kings job. I bet he could actually do something with that roster.

    Kobe proves he is unclutch yet again. Missed the game winner.

    This Warriors vs L*kers game has been entertaining since I switched over to it after the game. Warriors crowd is fun to watch

    Kobe has put up 41 shots. Is he trying to break the FGA record?

    I was gonna comment earlier... I was actually at the game. I remember it well because I'm a Michigan State fan just as much as I'm a Grizz fan, so I was pumped to catch Z-Bo playing NBA ball, and I was the only asshole cheering the whole game for him, rocking a mix of Grizz and MSU gear.

    42/12... and if I recall correctly, that was his break out game. Wasn't he in a complimentary role before that game?

    The thing those two games have in common though... the Lakers got the W.

    As far as "Around the NBA" goes though, the Grizz/Rockets game has gotten me really bummed out heading into the holidays. The Grizzlies played a great game... at least the kind of game that would usually put away a fringe playoff team... and they wound up getting drilled. The Rockets just wouldn't miss from the perimeter. It was one of those games where your team plays great defense play after play, and yet the opponent keeps hitting the contested three.

    One thing that has really come to light as of late for the Grizz's defense (which was the best in the league in terms of opponent ppg) is that they've had problems getting back in transition as of late. That's pretty fixable though, and a lot of that has to just do with the team's ball control and hustle, so I'm not too concerned with that at this point.

    I had to look that one up, and you're right,... I was thinking of the 31/20 game he had against the Grizz in '03, not his 40/12 game in '07.

    That game in '03 was the one I was at where he was a role player and broke out.

    I've been a season ticket holder for the Grizz since day one, so some of these games seem to blend together, haha.

    Yes. Then everyone wanted Zach and wanted to get rid of Sheed. Then everyone wanted Aldridge and to get rid of Zach. Now everyone wants to get rid of Aldridge.

    I just looked up where he ranks in the league in fouls, and he's sitting at #241, tied with the Blazers own Sasha Pavlovic.

    An alleged "All Defensive Team" player is #241 in fouls, despite playing 38 mpg...

    Refs don't want to lose their XMAS bonus by calling fouls on The 'Bron!
