Ummmm. no one is surprised by the start of Lin and Harden in Houston? Really?

Im surprised. Also Jennings, Greiviis Vasquezz, Omer Asik

You hear that Nick and IP, GREVIS VASQUEZ! WHY DOES NO ONE LIKE MY BINKIES UNTIL THEY'RE GOOD!

Vasquez went to Maryland where my best friend was a SID. He thought Vasquez was too slow and would never make it in the NBA.

One of the few times he was wrong about a player

This guy thinks you should know better than to doubt me, Nick.

Different when I have inside info. My buddy is at U Texas now. Watch out for David Ashe people(football). I hear he is a top 15 QB in the NFL someday.

Nah, I hear ya. it's always hard to figure out which players have enough heart to overcome their physical deficits.

So far, George Hill has been tremendous. 

David West has been very good

Kobe has been much more efficient, shooting almost 60% from the field, 53% from downtown and 94% from the line.

Duncan has been been stellar as well averaging 19-10.

Not a team that I don't like my chances against.

Three games isn't long enough to make any lasting conclusions, but the CrotoNats are liking their chances:

Varejao:  14 points, 15 rebounds
Lebron: 23 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 blocks, 54.5% 3PT%
Dunleavy: 18 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 87.5% 3PT%
Sefolosha: 6.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, 62.5% 3PT%
Irving: 23.8 points, 6.0 assists, 41.2% 3PT%

R. Lopez: 14.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 55.6% FG%
Gordon:  8.0 points, 40.0% 3PT%
Green: 8.3 points, 1.3 steals
Brand: 5.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, 1.3 steals
Brooks: 7.5 points, 35.7% 3PT%

Basically, Lebron and Irving are superstars, and the rest of the team is made up of hard-working role players.  Brand's offense has sucked so far this year, but the defense and rebounding are there, which is all we needed.  Robin Lopez has been as good as we hoped, justifying our "reach" for him.

Robin lopez with the ability to learn from Varejao could become a very good player.

Loving him on two of my fantasy teams this year.

How about Melo and Felton working together huh? Not so bad.

Bogut, even on limited time is also killing it.

And boy, Jason Smith, what a steal that was huh??? Drummond is making a bit of an impact as well. We lost Rush for the season though, that's bad.

Well Bogut is on my fantasy team I would say he is far from killing it

Kyle Lowry: 21 pts,  8 assts, 7 boards, 5 steals.
Tony Allen: 8 pts, 1 assts, 5 boards, 3 steals
Rudy Gay: 25 pts,3 assts, 7 boards, 2 steals, 1 block
LaMarcus Aldridge: 19 pts, 3 boards, 2 blocks
Al Horford: Polished his leadership skills some more


Carlos Delfino:15 pts, 7 boards, 1 steal
Dion Waiters: 17pts, 2 boards, 3 steals.
Al-Faruq Aminu: 17 pts, 7 boards,3 assts, 2 steals, 3 blocks.

DEPTH!

Rookies are tough, i drafted Waiters initially but moved him after i realized that he wasn't going to be much of an asset to lean on, in large part due to his poor summer league showing, but talk about a kid that would make a great compliment to TA off the bench.  He reminds me a bit of Ben Gordon the way he can just launch threes over defenders from anywhere on the court.


Meanwhile, the Blazers are what we thought they were.

J. Johnson, Millsap, and D. Howard have been very good, while Wilson Chandler has looked lost so far, and not much team depth to compensate for it.

Backup PG has been a nice suprise.  Udrih playing really well right now while Brandon Knight is progressing - at least in the playmaker department.

[Roy H.]

Looks like the Granger for Varejao + picks (which I believe got turned into Sefolosha and Lopez) trade is working out okay.  Tough break for Granger.

Don't drop him. Be patient. He's still on the 20 minute limit to make sure his ankle is gonna be fine in the later part o the season. But he's been productive on that little allotted time. 8/4/1 block/61% shooting in 18 minutes a game isn't bad.

Rebounding numbers are a real concern.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

See, no one thought Ray Felton will bounce back. He and Melo are playing great basketball together.

ANd man Jerryd Bayless huh? Really efficient as a back up 1/2.
Tyrus getting a bit of a slow return to prominence but he looks decent there.

JASON SMITH! PER over 20's, while having a sore thumb.

And if when, not if Bogut comes back, this team will be better. WHile he's out, Drummond will cover who's also doing a nice job (PER over 20's as well).

Need to replace the 2 guards and a backup 3. Roy is not doing anything, Rush is out for the season. PJIII looks lost and TMac went to China. Need to get new guys, but that's easy.

Still think this is not a playoff team?

Yes because Bogut is having the injury issues that everybody said he would
