Good. Priming for the Christmas Day ultimate duel with LeBron.

and I won't be around a TV for that one. Gotta DVR it

Meanwhile, Celtics looking to cement their hold on 1st in the Atlantic against formidable Denver team. Sounds a bit strange, but it can be as accurate as can be. C's team looks like the Sixers team, with a few veterans left and lots of young blood running around bursting with energy. The only thing left is to guide them to a proper place.

or how about the Lakers with the best bench in the league

yeah. surprising too. suddenly d'antoni is looking good.

Burroughs showdown seemed to have awakened the knicks. now swamping the magic.

 

[jadis]

And the Celtcs indeed cement their hold on their division,beating an above 500 Denver team and are now 2 games up 2nd place Philly, despite sub .500.

I'm beginning to feel Kris Humphries and Gerald Wallace are not bad pick ups after all. And Ainge, if this goes on, will not get the flak from C's fans to trading away Pierce and KG for fresh draft picks. If this goes on, Barkley may be shockingly right in calling for Brad Stevens as COTY, and I humbly nominate Ainge for EOTY. This is fantasy basketball at its best.

Here comes the C's again, now on a 3-game winning streak, annihilating the Knicks by 41 points and stopping the Knicks own win streak at 2. The future suddenly looks bright for these green kids.

My son just fed me this: What do the Knicks, Nets and Titanic have in common?
They are all at the bottom of the Atlantic.

All eyes on Kobe's season debut in a hour.

 

[MylesBAstor]

Good one!

 

[rblnr]

Good one!

Yep, I laughed too.

The race to the bottom of the Atlantic just got more competitive:

I think Ujiri though is doing the right thing. Rebuild, don't remodel, and Rudy Gay ain't worth that money. He's got the cap handcuffs off now and can build a team.

And this was the report of Asst. Coach Franks after the Nets lost to the Knicks the a few nights ago.

If the losing trend goes on for the season, Franks will be the highest paid 'reporter/writer' in sports, on a per-word basis.

'Nuther good one. You're on a roll!

 

[jadis]

'Nuther good one. You're on a roll!

I can afford to because my C's are in a roll too, sort of. Make hay while the sun shines.

 

[jadis]

nice win by the pacers over the heat. playoff atmosphere game. it's going to be some rivalry and the chase for homecourt is all over the minds of the both teams.

 

[jadis]

After the Knicks massacre, the Nets have piled up a 3 game winning streak after beating the Clippers soundly tonight.. And are now even threatening to take the first place from the C's.

 

[MylesBAstor]

Interesting. 3/15 teams in the East .500 or above. Conversely, 13/15 teams in the West .500 or above as of today.

 

[jadis]

It seems to me that the winner of the Atlantic Division, even though sporting a losing record, will be seeded 4th. That is an undue advantage as they don't have to take on the 1st seed and be slaughtered immediately.

 

[Steve williams]

IMO the biggest surprise this year is the Blazers with the 2nd best record in the league. They handled the Rockets with ease last night
