- Luol Deng blocks Kobe Bryant's 5-foot jumper BUT SOMEONE ELSE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEKAUSE THE BULLS SENT THREE GUYS AFTER HIM SINCE EVERYBODY KNOWS KOBE WILL NEVER LET ANYONE ELSE TAKE THAT LAST SHOT
other thoughts from yesterday:
* Everyone's bench sucks.
* Celtics-Knicks: Ish Smith sucked before he got hurt. I think he can learn to be a point guard, but every Ga Tech kid from the Paul Hewitt era is ultimately flawed so I don't think his ceiling is too high. Melo was beastly but it came at Amare's expense and the Celtics started Sasha Pavlovic (disclaimer: Hoya Saxa). I don't understand why Etwuaan Moore and JaJuan Johnson didn't get on the floor. Maybe they're not ready, but does Doc Rivers really want KG and Ray Allen playing heavy minutes every night in a compressed season?
* Miami-Dallas: The Mavs have clearly thrown in the towel on this season. With that caveat, Miami looked godly. That double alley oop was sick. Norris Cole won't ever drop 40/20 again but he's gonna be good.
* Orlando-OKC: I watched almost none of this but Perkins looked pretty svelte while getting T'ed up. Is the number of techs before a suspension gonna be prorated this year?
* Clippers-Warriors: Wow, does Chauncey Billups need to get over himself or what? CP3 is still the best PG since Magic. Hack-a-Deandre is disgusting. Biedrins looked really good. Klay Thompson looked like he was going to shit himself. A Monta-Curry backcourt still doesn't work. Mo Williams really is emotionally frail, isn't he? He only plays well when he has no responsibility.
