We came so close!!!!

That was a great game.

Cavs ended their losing streak and looked pretty good in the process. People panicking about them are silly, this is a team that hasn't played more than 6 games together. There will be growing pains and then they'll hit their groove in January.

After getting blown out, the Mavs luckily bounced back by blowing out the Jazz (again). Not as ridiculous in the first half like in the other games, but the wheels didn't come off in the 3rd and 4th, so they ran away against an average Jazz side.

Now hopefully they will continue to do the same in the future games, and we can forget about the whole 3rd quarter row very quickly.

The more I see Brandan Wright play, the more I'm starting to like what he brings to the game. His field goal percentage is simply ridiculous, and he just gets himself into good positions for easy points. He's just complete effort and grit, and a low maintenance backup behind Tyson Chandler. He doesn't set the world ablaze, but he's just smart and hard working.

Other games. Thank god Rubio only has a sprain, because the way his ankle bent was absolutely nauseating to see. And as far as the Cavs go, it's hilarious how people were up in arms and panicking about a team that has LeBron, Kyrie, and Kevin Love. As has been said, they need to gel and these guys will start wrecking shit soon enough.

Lance Stephenson. What a lad.

[Tyrone]

Marcus Smart is out 2-3 weeks. Thankfully, it was just an ankle sprain and not something more severe.

[Quom]

Rubio looks like he's out 7-8 with his. I'm actually amazed he didn't break anything. It's going to be a very long two months with Mo Williams running the point and LaVine backing him up. I expect us to be especially shit. I'm kind of hoping Flip goes into tank mode for this stretch and rests Pek and gives ample time to the young guys to get them some experience.

HER TITS LEBRON, HER TITS

[Benjamin]

For fuck's sake, 18 turnovers.

[Tyrone]

Anthony Davis is a beast.

[gunnar hendershow]

The whole "he's the guy who is winning MVP after LeBron and KD finish trading it" thing is turning into "he's totally trading it with LeBron and KD" pretty fast. He's a monster and if the Pels make the playoffs with him putting up these numbers you have to think he has a great shot at MVP.

Sixers lost by 53 last night.

It's sad when every Chicago game ends with Rose being injured somehow.

[Tyrone]

Poor guy. He's trying so hard, but his legs are just giving out on him.

Sixers lost by 53 last night.

Just watched the game without knowing the box score (or winner), and boy that was an absolute snoozer in the 2nd half. Sixers made sucking into an artform last night, and on the other end it's amazing to see the Mavericks just completely run away with it even when the starters were getting the celebratory drinks on the sideline.

Also, this game was a new Mavs win-margin record. 50 was their previous in 2010, and now they got 53 against a team that would be better off playing in the NCAA.

Dirk had 21 points in just over 20 minutes too, which just goes to show you how utterly abysmal the Sixers were. Brandan Wright outscored all of the Philly starters, heck even Charlie V outscored four of them in less than 8 minutes.

Anyways, it's good to see the Mavericks just completely trounce a team after struggling with leads (and that amazing comeback against the Kings) in the past two weeks. Hopefully this will light the team up completely and get closer to the top of the conference.

I swear to post "The Knicks fuckin' rule!" In all caps after every win this season. That could be as many as five or ten more times.

BIZ TIME~!

THE KNICKS FUCKIN' RULE!

The Lakers are so bad. I wonder if the combined win total for them and Philly matches the 3rd worst team in the league, whoever that winds up being.
