Westbrook is still the most explosive PG. Even after three knee surgeries.

[JasonM]

All hail medical science Larz, keeping guys like Westbrook strong even when their knees are made of paper mache.

I'm fucking amped. Suck shit Portland you just got beat by a bunch of kids.

Massive speculation and wishful thinking ahead: Commentators kept bringing up tonight how Brewer didn't come here for a rebuild, what a great guy he has been anyway blah blah blah. Meanwhile Shabazz has to be in the running for MIP and is just fucking dominant. They then started talking about how he's busting his arse trying to make the starting roster to achieve his ultimate goal of playing in an All-Star game. Long story short, I'm hoping it means that the much discussed trading of Brewer is going to happen. I love that he has a goat, I love that he's always smiling and never stops talking. But his bad habits drive me insane. Especially when our main guys don't have the experience yet to know how the fuck you play defence 4-5 because Brewer decided to foolishly gamble for a steal in the back court (or has done the same in a half court set leaving everyone scrambling). Brewer probably is great in the locker-room, but he isn't great on the court.

If we can move him for a pick or a PG I'd be ecstatic. If we get a player back for Brewer I hope we either cut or manage to trade Budinger for a pick because Jeff Adrien is fitting the team really well. Hell if it comes to it and Glen Taylor isn't willing to swallow Budinger's contract I hope we cut Turiaf. I love him but he's always injured and Adrien is cut from the same cloth but with more offence.

2 in a row! The buzz is back!

[Benjamin]

Man, we have to have the best bench in the league. I know we played a weak Knicks team, but seeing Boris just captain the team so magnificently was awesome.

[Benjamin]

The road to making Kawhi an All-Star has begun

[Plubby]

THE KNICKS FUCKIN' RULE!

[Beeker00Zero]

Keep on ruling Knicks!

Follow the Melo Money and keep giving the 76ers' a dream they might not finish at the bottom of the league.

2-0 with Jody Meeks!

We're still bad, but maybe at the very least we found another guy that can be part of the rebuild with Andre Drummond. Meeks didn't come in and shoot the lights out, but he played smart, hit free throws, and just...he did everything right that the other guys on the team do wrong. Just wish we could figure a way to get a decent starting small forward and a better PG, might actually have something looking toward next year.

[gunnar hendershow]

Josh McRoberts is done for the year and Chris Bosh is out indefinitely.

The Heat is off.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Suns lost again, 8 spot is in reach!

So, if you had the Raptors, Wizards and Hawks as the three best teams in the East a third of the way through the season, raise your hand.

Moot point; this is an internet forum.

While I know it won't last, these are the happy moments in a Hawks fan's life.

[Pizza]

I mean, I had Cavs, Bulls, Raps, Wizards as top 4. Atlanta's a big surprise though.

[thatshortguy]

Their schedule over the last couple of weeks has been a big part of that. Still, nine game winning streaks don't just happen. If they stay healthy, the Hawks could be a great sleeper pick in the playoffs. Fittingly, they're starting to remind me of the Spurs. Coach Budweiser's scheme is starting to bare fruit.

And you were doing so well. #datKoolAid

I don't think the Wizards doing well is a surprise at all, actually.

[gunnar hendershow]

I expected Hawks to challenge the Wiz for the division. Hawks do not have the depth that Washington has, in fact nobody in the East matches their depth except maybe Toronto. Because of the makeup of the teams at the top of the East it's a lot more wide open than I expected, but Cleveland especially has a lot of time to tinker and just add what they need at will as the season goes on. They are mostly thin outside of their starting 5 right now but I expect that to change.

Also word is Jabari Parker tore his ACL.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Westbrook has been amazing the past games. 7 Game winning streak, 9th in the west, hopefully we will be able to defeat Golden State tomorrow.
