Yeah Westduck looked like he never left. Thought he finished at the rim well. I wish all star point guards coming off knee injuries could do that...

Clippers are looking sharp (minus their game last Tuesday). To the surprise of no one the Rockets perimeter defense is atrocious.

Guys, I'm worried the Bulls suck. I'm seeing a lot of flaws that probably aren't going anyway...

Thibs just needs to tell Rose that the whole league will be more than happy to let him keep shooting 3's.

It might take 15-20 games for everyone to get on the same page.

Him and Heinrich are my two most under appreciated Caucasians in the league

The Lakers fascinate me so far. Also, James Harden needs to at least try on defense before I can even consider him a top 10 player in the league.

their bench is scoring a TON of points. i dont recall them every being this good (so far). the only way it would have been better is if it had been a home game

I just feel like the entire team (outside of Gasol and Nash) are role players or fringe rotation guys who've never really had much of a shot. The big lights and lack of any expectations are letting them loose. They'll probably finish around .500 but they're going to beat some very good teams when they get hot from deep.

I get to watch Rose get murdered by Kyrie Irving in person Monday :(

Good God the Jazz are bad by the way. They aren't even trying to hide how hard they are tanking this season...

I think I could watch a Youtube video comprised of only Kevin Love outlet passes.

First Bulls game of the year tonight. Irving v Rose. Hopefully I get some signs Derrick is going to start winning the PG battle every night like the good old days, otherwise...i'll just have to take pictures of Thibs freaking out and Boozer's beard....

Yeah, nobody stood out. Dunleavy was hot in the 2nd half, I guess....which was shocking. Irving didn't do shit until garbage time, not good for him the in a funk Derrick got the best of him.

I know it's a small sample, but I gotta mention it while its still true. LeBron is shooting over 60% from the field and over 50% from 3.
