Haha Big Ben and his new coach Scott are on each others backs

chicago has a lot of early season problems....and big ben hasn't jelled with that outfit so far....they got into the playoffs without wallace last year, if they fail to do so with him this time, that will be the biggest joke....but there are some rumours(http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/chris_mannix/11/22/inside.nba/) of the t'wolves possibly trading garnett and supposedly chicago is a possible destination...if they acquire garnett as well, they could really become a formidable outfit....

I'm sure Bulls would lose someone big for Garnett. Gordon maybe? Or Wallace....hmmmmmm

i'm sure they will lose multiple players in such a deal...garnett is too big to be traded for just one player, even wallace....and i doubt if they'll trade wallace so soon after acquiring him.....

Anyway Kobe ended up with 10 assists vs the Nets today. Never thought it would be possible...Kobe Bryant...19 points, 10 assists...

i think he has 9 or 10 career triple-doubles so it is not so impossible...

It's not the most common sight either.

The Mavs are on a role. 10 game winning streak for them.

Anyway I can't wait until thursday, first regular season rematch of the 2006 East Conf finals. Miami Heat vs Detroit. My money is on Detroit.

 

[Dravid]

Michael Redd is having one hell of a season...45 points last night against the Lakers. Kobe seemed to have a good time defending him.

If anyone has broadband I have good news for them. Go here http://www.nba.com/broadband/league_pass.jsp NBA.com is showing archived games for free. Games that took place more than 48 hours ago will be archived and will be shown for free!! I don't know how long they will do this for but it's a great way to watch the games you miss. I don't have broadband in India so I won't be able to watch them but if you have broadband give it a try and let me know if it works.

Mavs win 11th straight! Now in 1st place in the Southwest division.

Miami Detroit game just ended and what a game. Close through out, not too big of a lead through out the game. It was 24 seconds to go, Miami with the ball. D wade with the ball, no shot clock. D wade takes a shot, and he shoots up an airball with 1.2 remaining. My god I couldn't tell you how happy I was. That was the win of the season for Detroit.

 

[Johnners]

Wade buckled under pressure it seems

There must have been no player within 20 feet of him otherwise the refs would've blown the whistle. Yes I'm still bitter about last year's Finals.

 

[Dravid]

Lol actually Wade was pretty closely and well defended by Hamilton.

kobe had a monster game against the jazz, 30 points in one quarter! looks like he's completely back!

When he's on, I don't think there's anyone better.

yeah pretty much unstoppable...don't think there is any other player in the nba who can get to that red-hot level....

A huge turn around from the Mavs once AJ took over from Nellie, nice to see my Nuggs get back on track after the shocking tv game on wednesday

yeah good win for the nuggets although the t'wolves are mostly a one-man team these days....'melo is on a tear and chasing "the answer" for the scoring title...
