Eric Jr "EJ" (if you didnt figure it out from above lol)

DAMNIT!

Literally looked at the Clippers roster for 2 min looking for who has the initials EJ.

I think I called him EJ on JJHuddle a lot, but maybe not since I didnt think people would know what I meant.

Clearly, people still didnt know haha. But now you do.

Was that last night? I feel like I've seen Turiaf in quite a few highlights very similar to that one so far this year...

I love watching GSW. If I had a 2nd favorite team, they'd be it.

Love the new jerseys as well.

I'm surprised you didn't report this score from last night in Boston:

Oklahoma City (without Kevin Durant) 89 Boston 84

Oh, I was just curious why there was no upset alert given last night, that's all.

I don't think every time the Heat lose it's considered an upset. Do upsets happen 5 times a month?

So far the west is killing the east in overall top to bottom talent. West has 10/15 teams with .500 winning percentage or better...the east only has 5 times at/above .500

Anyone still think Miami will win 73 games?

I'm glad they're struggling. People looked at this team and said "WOW! LeBron, Wade and Bosh! Why even play this season!?"

And in reality... they're just not a top level team yet.

^^^The lack of depth is going to hurt them the most. When Wade inevitably starts missing games for this and that, fucking Jerry Stackhouse starts for him (which would be fine, if it was 1999)

The thing is, you can't just acquire top talent and win it all. It takes much more than that.

LeBron should know this from the Roger Bacon debacle.

It takes chemistry and the right mixture of talent. You can;t have 2 superstars and 1 fake star and think you're going to waltz through the league. The preseason was those 3 guys basically talking a great game, but they have yet to back it up.

Then you hear about trade rumors with Bosh... Then Windy reports that LeBron and Wade have already bumped heads a few times.... He also says the chemistry just isn't there.

BTW, anybody see the highlight video Blake Griffin put up today against the Knicks en route to his 44 points and double digit boards?

Check out the refs reaction while calling the blocking foul

Then you had this one:

And of course, the putback:

The Heat may lose Haslem for awhile with a foot injury and he's probably their only true force in the paint since LBJ don't want to play down there
