Watching Clips Spurs right now, Clippers seem to be QQing less this year.

I've watch about 10 quarters and they are right now playing like one of those meh #7-#10 seeds. Defense is better from last year and they seem to know their roles on the team. Ramon Sessions has been quite the spark. Kemba is a poor man's Westbrook (though Westbrook hasn't been as good) new coach has Mullens at 23 feet out instead of 18 to open things up better.

They'll probably fall off but for now....they ain't half bad

Kemba will still get destroyed defensively. He's just too small.

If he's not stealing much....he's brutal on defense. Their perimeter defense is improving, but still a yikes.

I can't believe how good the Knicks are this year. Granted it's early but wow. Not missing a beat without Linsanity.

Nets have gone cold, and I'm unimpressed with Lopez. If Dwill really told the nets to stop pursuing Dwight, all I can say is lol. Lopez is straight terrible on Def.

Lopez is such a pussy on the boards. He has 1 double digit rebound game this year and averages 6.4 a game. How the hell can you be a 7 foot center and average 6 boards a game??

You rebound the ball 54 times in 9 games.

He is all arms. He doesn't use his legs or his body very well, he is always out of position going for rebounds

[h=3]Bynum Could Be Out Until March With Rest, One Year With Surgery[/h] Nov 21, 2012 12:13 PM EST
Andrew Bynum's agent continues to keep the specifics of his client's knee issue a secret.
All of the publicly available information on Bynum suggests a probable diagnosis of osteochondral lesions says one of the nation's top orthopedic surgeons, a condition that may keep Bynum out for the season.
The condition could heal on its own within four to six months, but that would keep Bynum out until March or April.
The surgeon said that surgery could keep him from playing for up to a year.
Bynum should know whether he needs surgery by December.
The surgeon spoke on condition of anonymity because Bynum is not his patient.

Via Jason Wolf/Delaware News Journal

Sooo glad Cavs didn't pull the trigger on him.

Kemba tells me to go to hell as he hits a big 3 and Sessions who was 4/18 drills a bucket anyways.

Bobcats win 98-97 to move to 6-4....winning 5 of the last 6

7 players in double figures tonight

Kendrick Perkins and Matt Barnes getting chippy. Would love to see them throw down. Ideally they would both get kicked out of the league.
