Other NBA Action

Bynum looks terrific. Want to see another young big guy coming into his own check out Andris Biedrins of the Warriors. He's now 17-21, 81% from the floor on the year. Mostly dunks or layups of course but he's really improved at finding the open spot so he can get the pass. Had 6 blocks in the loss last night as well. Still needs to get a lot stronger but really looks to be improved so far this year.

Not at the level Bynum is at though.

I am keeping my eye on Biedrins as well. He is the player that I wanted to the Suns to grab.

ugh - sonics make a late charge to go up by 1 with 5 seconds left and lose when the ugly man hedo hits a game winner for orlando

can we get a close win here?!

 

[panfolk]

Blazers are leading against the Lakers

 

[Nash]

interesting day..
Mavs lost 85-103 to the Clippers after leading for a while in that game.
The Lakers lost 90-101 to a Roy-less Blazers.

 

[D-Dogg]

The Lakers lost 90-101 to a Roy-less Blazers.

I almost threw up. The bench never showed up. At all.

Lamar reverted to his past Hubble Telescope Can't See Him type player.

Kobe shot about 65% on 19 shots...Luke shot 17 times for 50%. Come on Lakers.....

Kwame coming back is good...more low post defense to stop guys like Randolf who KILLED the Lakers tonight.

zach randolf is starting the season very strong

zach randolf is starting the season very strong

He also had microfracture surgery. Gives Amare hope for this/next year.

 

[Russ Smith]

zach randolf is starting the season very strong

He got in great shape this year I think the knee is feeling better because he's lighter.

He's always been a scoring machine on the low block but over the years started relying too much on his face up game, I think he's reverting back to the block a bit more this year.

 

[Chaplin]

Michael Redd scored 57 points tonight.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

none of my teams were on TV tonight - but the supes finally won a close won, beating the hawks in OT on a late ray allen layup

 

[slinslin]

Deron Williams is a stud.

 

[Ronin]

Warriors are hammering the Pistons right now. 86-55

 

[Nash]

The Warriors completed the blowout, winning 111-79. They shot 12-21 (57%) from the three!
Well, atleast Det kicked some Laker ass.

The Cavs made a huge comeback against the Celts (20+ pts IIRC) to win 94-93. LeBron pulled a DWade, shooting 19-23 from the FT line on his way to 38 pts.

Given a choice, I would've preferred Boozer went down instead of AK. <what a horrible person I am!>
Boozer had 32/10 tonight. He either has 20/14 or 30/10 every night.

Morrison had 27 pts,
Emeka : 19 pts, 9 rbs, 5 blks, 5 stls!

I know it's the early stages of the season, but Shaun Livingston has been a disappointment. He could always pick it up as the season goes on, but i didn't think that he would struggle like this. Here are Livingston stats so far.............

Rondo Balkman (the guy that the Suns were interested in ) had a good game tonight. 18 points and 9 rebounds

you mean Renaldo right?

And I'm sure not complaining that Shaun isn't playing well. Only problem is Sam has been on fire so far.

And his two best games were against.....YOOOOOOUR PHOENIX SUNS! Man, we really gotta stop that ****. Role players are always having their best games against our tissue defense. Players who are struggling look at their calendar and say "Yeah got the Suns tonight, time to get out of my slump!". If Kyle Korver drops 30 on us

 

[Ronin]

you mean Renaldo right?

Yup, sorry about the confusion.

And I'm sure not complaining that Shaun isn't playing well. Only problem is Sam has been on fire so far.

Me neither, but a lot of experts have labled Shaun as the next "Magic Johnson."

Chris Kaman has also been disappointing , but despite these two struggling, the Clips are 5-2.

 

[Ronin]

Houston blew a 19 point lead last night against the Spurs, and lost. Tonight the Rockets blew a 21 point lead.

Seems like the suns aren't the only ones that have trouble holding on to big leads..

 

[Russ Smith]

I've never understood the hype on Livingston, yes he's big, yes he's a PG, but he's certainly no Magic, he can't shoot, I actually think I could beat him in a game of horse if we eliminated dunks and only took jumpers. That class is really disappointing, Telfair isn't getting any better either.

And once again, my god is Andris Biedrins improved, he KILLED in his last couple of games. If he gets stronger look out. Leave it to the Warriors to draft O'Bryant, and then hire a coach who wasn't going to play him, but the way Biedrins is playing who cares?

 

[elindholm]

I just traded Biedrins away in my fantasy team and am starting to fear that I will really regret it. I knew it was a danger, but the other manager had a player I really wanted.

 

[panfolk]

Rodriguez got 8 assists with only 1 turnover in a Blazer loss to Cleveland. Still havent seen his defense though.

 

[nowagimp]

Baron Davis was scintillating ont he warriors 117-105 victory over the Kings. His line was 36 points 18 asst 8 rebounds 3 steals. If Davis continues this kind of play he'll be real tough. I watched most of the game and Davis looked unguardable, he was so quick and strong off the dribble. Michael Petrius was also 12-16 fg's with 26 pts for the Warriors.

On the other hand, Big Ben(Franklin$$) Wallace, once again, was a bust: 1 shot, 1 point, 5 rebounds, 1 block, in 35 minutes in a 101-100 loss to the Rockets. Both Mcgrady(11) and Yao(12) outrebounded big ben by wide margins. All those compalining about shawn Marions paycheck should consider that the Bulls have Wallace for 4 more years at 15 mil per. Big Ben is averaging 5 pts, 9.4 rebounds, 1.25 blocks so far. Four more years of that should keep the bulls from going anywhere too fast.
