Ridiculously Late Junk Drawer 12/10: Scoreboard Watching Edition
Well, we're over a quarter into the season and everyone agrees there are 9 teams fighting for 8 spots out west. Well, I guess its really 8 teams fighting for 7 spots unless you think LAL's loss to Sac last night was the beginning of a downward trend.
If you are like me, you are always watching the scoreboad and wondering if one the Blazers' competitors for those spots will ever lose. It seems like they never do, unless of course two of them are playing each other.
Will tonight be more of the same? New Orleans leads Charlotte by 19. San Antonio leads Atlanta by 9. Minnesota leads Denver early but the TWolves have gotten our hopes up before (see last night). The Phoenix-LAL game should be interesting... Phoenix will be playing with a very short bench due to the trade from earlier today.
--
Outside the fight for the playoffs out West, ESPN is currently televising Cavs-Sixers. The Cavs are really good. If the Cavs win a title in the next 2 years, does LeBron still leave for NY? Also, Igoudala is a baller.
Toronto interim coach Jay Triano got his first W, at the expense of the Pacer team I've sang the praises of this week. Oops. I blame Jack and McBob.
Also tonight: Thunder coach Scotty Brooks looks to move into sole possession of first place on the all-time Thunder wins list (he's currently tied with PJ Carlisemo). They lead Memphis in the 2nd half.

Brand hearing some boos from the Philly crowd
Cleveland getting a lot of calls even on the road. That hasn’t been much of a factor, though, as the Cavs are dominating this game.

The game in Utah is important. We need this game more than any other game this year if we want to put space between us.

Wally Sceroiwerowheowethwetbiak fell and knocked down Delonte West— and both were down for a while, but both appear ok. The Cavs almost lost 2 guys on one play.

whoever Lebron plays for in 2011 will be the Blazers' main contender
If Lebron resigns with the Cavs he will do so because the Cavs have assembled a championship caliber team around him. If Lebron jumps ship and signs with, say, the Knicks, he will do so because the Knicks will become a championship caliber team once Lebron is added to the roster.
Either way, Lebron and his 2011 teammates will be battling the Blazers in either the WCF or the NBA Finals.

OKC found a way to lose vs. Memphis
Scotty Brooks remains tied with PJ on the all time Thunder win list (at 1).
Denver has tied it vs. Minny by starting the 2nd half on a 16-4 run. C’mon Wolves, help us out.
Atlanta has pulled within 4 of the Spurs. Let’s go Hawks.

I liked watching the lakers
2 or 3 years ago when it was the kobe show and he put up 40 shots a game. He was fun to watch just for the pure selfishness/amazingness. The Blazers sucked and the lakers wernt going to go anywhere in the playoffs so i found myself enjoying them. But now that the Blazers are playing for something and the lakers are too its back to hating them.

Watching L@kers vs. Suns right now.
Amare has a mow hawk. Who does he think he is? Greg Oden? Also, they are just letting Bynum catch and dunk. Other teams maul Greg on the catch. Suns just watching the show.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

who would be a perennial all star in any era…
Roy may qualify soon…now I’d say Bron, Kobe, duncan?(maybe past peak), shaq (way past peak)…

Shaq? Not anymore.
Nash isn’t anymore either.
Amare? Not enough defense.

Roy is somewhere around the 15th best player in the league IMO
In terms of value, perhaps closer to 10th.

Pau is a better FIBA player. I’ll keep Bosh off my superstar list.
