I don't think Melo will ever win a title. Its also pretty comical to see what a buffoon Phil Jackson is without some of the greatest players of all time at his disposal.
I'm waiting to pass judgement on Phil until he gets rid of the dead weight on the roster and has some cap space to sign some players that fit in his system. I am skeptical however.
I was amused by the Heat's empty building tonight. Bulls radio guys also seemed to think they were pumping crowd noise into the place. Maybe that happens in most NBA arenas but I also noticed that there is no 'Heat index' blog on ESPN.com anymore...

I'm not sold on the Warriors. That 17-2 record is misleading. 4 of their next 5 are against Southwest teams. I'm guessing they'll lose 2 or 3 of those games.
OK, now I'm sold on the Warriors. Manhandled the Mavs and Rockets. I love watching Curry play.

Bogut sat last night. I hope that does not become a trend.

So sad to hear Jabari tore his ACL Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to this type of this when I was a kid, but it really does seem like there is a new ligament injury that is knocking someone out every few weeks.

There does seem to be more ACL tears in the last 5 years or so. Luckily, he should be able to make a full recovery since it is such a common injury these days.

LOL @ Westbrook. 0-6 with 2 TOs in the last 4 minutes of a close game. He's the anti-Tony Parker.

Damian Lillard is the most cold-blooded, clutch player in the league right now.
Watch out for these Blazers.
