All purpose NBA thread 07/08

Good to see LeBron needs hecklers to make him play well.

 

Oh, I kinda doubt he's been heckled non-stop en route to averaging 29.1 points in his first 32 games.

 

So the Knicks can beat the Pistons by 30 when they are doing what? Trying? Playing together?

 

Butler's really been the difference between the Wizards floundering after the loss of Agent Zero and their current position of being one of the most competitive Eastern teams on a daily basis.

Beating the Celtics is a huge accomplishment this season.

 

Pistons are reeling. That is possibly the only reason New York beat Detroit.

 

Just saw the score and did a double-take. Man, WTF?

 

Rip Hamilton is also 1-of-7 and Sheed is 3-of-9, with nothing from downtown. The Pistons need scoring from these two guys. Chauncey can't do it himself.

 

Well, the Staples Center just got REAL quiet.
Andrew Bynum just went down like he was shot, holding his knee. He was basically carried off as he was unable to put any weight on his leg at all. It didn't appear he collided with anyone, just an awkward landing.

Anyone who's followed sports for a while knows that's not a good sign. Bad news for the kid and bad news for the Lakers, who up to now had been really entertaining this season.

 

Oh damn! I was thisclose to trading for him today in my fantasy league.

Sorry, spnited. I had to vent, though.

 

A trade to Chicago is starting to look pretty good to Kobe, again.

 

Appears to just be a nasty knee sprain for Bynum.

 

That's too bad. Bynum is starting to show a lot of promise on the court, especially under the glass. He's what Bryant and Odom need.
