Mavs D looks terrible.  They really miss Chandler.  OKC shooting 55% for the game so far

Someone will find a way to discredit the Dallas win (because Rondo plays for them of course) to KD sitting and neglect how much worse Dallas's D got without Chandler. Not to mention the fact that Dirk had to play D passively for 4+ minutes at the end with five fouls.
Long-form is far from dead, but please refrain from paragraph-laden posts! Who wants to read that?!

OKC with losing record

Coach needs to go before Durrant walks

The only criticism is that it sure looks like Rondo was half assing it on defense for years in Boston.

To be fair though, Durant has played what, about half of this season's game so far? Westbrook has played maybe three quarters of all games? Perry Jones was their best player for a 3 game streak...can't expect much from a team like that.

The Bulls only scored 2 points in the 4th quarter so far while the Pacers have 21!  :o

Danny Granger, tho.  I guess that the Miami medical staff really knows what they're doing.  I read about it yesterday, how they told him to lose weight and strengthen the muscles around his knees, and he's looked great over the past week.  Bird should have kept him.  Sigh.

Washington vs Houston has been real good.

Josh Smith has not played a minute in the 4th, by my observation.

EDIT: Washington won. Beal and Harden with 33 each.

You said it, "the past couple of weeks". His knees are shot, let's revisit this in a few weeks and we'll see where he's at.

A couple good results tonight:

Orlando beats Miami -- giving them a 3 win cushion above Boston.
Brooklyn beats Sacramento -- giving them a 4 win cushion above Boston. Gotta think Miami will win some more once Bosh gets back and healthy, so anything Brooklyn can do right now is gravy.

Clippers are up 4 at half against Utah. If the Jazz pull it out this will be an all around successful night.

Interesting matchups in Orlando vs Detroit.

PF: O'Quinn vs Monroe
 C: Vucevic vs Drummond

Only tuned in at 3rd quarter. Drummond and Monroe simply too quick for their opponents so far. Beating box-outs and getting position on rebounds. On cuts. In transition. Pure footspeed and mobility. Too quick and athletic for Magic counterparts.

Love Drummond. Great upside.

On a side note Memphis is murdering SAS  :o
Everything they shoot goes in, and they play great D too...

Jodie Meeks has somehow dropped 34 points in 27 minutes on the Magic tonight and he's still going.  I guess as long as one of these teams wins it's a win for us, it would be good to see the Pistons go on a run post-Josh Smith.

Somehow? Try 9 of 11 on 3s. Jeez.
