Did anyone besides me watch the Houston-Portland game the other night? That ending was a doozy. Brandon Roy sinks a jumper with 2.5 seconds left to give Portland a two point lead, Yao Ming makes a three point play with 0.7 seconds left to give Houston a one point lead, and Roy sinks a 30 footer at the buzzer to give Portland the win. Roy was 4-16 prior to making those last two shots, but showed major cajones at the end. Barkley justifiably criticized Houston's defense on the last play, but still, you have to give a guy credit for draining a 30-footer.

I didn't see the game live, but I saw the highlights several times. That was truly a great finish, and something you kind of wish had been saved for a playoff game. |

Also, I just heard that the Atlanta Hawks have started 5-0 for the first time since 1997.

Okay, I've seen a lot of "close" games recently, though I couldn't actually watch enough to determine whether they were "good." Denver should have never beat the Celtics...why are the Knicks at .667...Detroit really putting it to the Lakers, but I never count the Lakers out. What in the world is going on in Dallas? Is Mark Cuban really so focused on purchasing the Cubs or is Avery Johnson actually due more credit than he received for getting the performance he got from that team?

Iverson seems to be settling in pretty quickly in Detroit.
He is likely Ray Allen, KG and Pierce last year... he REALLY wants that Title.
This team is the best shot he's ever had.
Once his teammates realize that and how much he can help everyone's game, DEE' troit could really get on a roll.
GO PISTONS!!

Knicks at 6-3?!?!
Maybe D'Antonio really IS a genius.
Wonder how his predecessor feels about that?

I'll ignore the anti-Laker references, but I will add that Sports Guy, in his infinite wisdom, called the Piston/Denver deal a salary dump by the Pistons, who he said have given up on the season. Oh, really?

This thread has been dead lately. Nobody wants to comment on the Phoenix/Charlotte deal? I like Raja Bell a lot, but still like this deal for Phoenix, at least assuming they can somehow get back to pushing the ball down the court.

never heard of a "crab dribble" until this week. Anyone heard of this thing before?

Anybody watching the NBA yet? There have been some good games lately - OT's and such. I know we've still got about 20 games until the playoffs so I'm guessing most everyone won't pay particularly close attention until then. D. Wade looks really good lately. Kobe and Ron Artest throwing elbows at each other last night. Not sure why Artest doesn't realize that just makes Kobe mad and he'll take over to win the game.

I didn't see the Laker game at all last night because I was still at work, but that was definitely a funny game. Yao, Scola and Landry were 15-15 from the field in the first half, but for some reason (Laker defense? I don't know), the Rockets stopped going to them in the second half, and kept firing up errant 3's. Meanwhile, Kobe got ticked at Artest, and torched him for 31 in the second half.
