NBA 2010-11

They need to go back to the Bullets.

I really thought this would happen already with Ted Leonsis buying the team. I thought they'd change the name, colors, everything. There is been lots of talk about it. Kind of adopt the DC theme with red, white, and blue like the Caps and Nats. But nothing has materialized yet. The Wizards is one of the worst names in all professional sports. Their logo is horrible.

Bummer...Flip Saunders says John Wall might never be pain free in his knee the rest of the year.

Seeing where Brandon Roy is right now, should the team consider shutting Wall down for an extended period of time? Or limiting his minutes all year? Why ride the guy hard this season where your team is literally going nowhere? Hold him out for a few months, make sure you get another top 5 pick next year, and try to make sure you get more than 2-3 good years out of Wall.

I wonder if this is just a product of today's basketball world. 15-20 years ago you played 18-20 games a year in high school, and some pickup ball in the summer. Anymore, if you're going to play D1, you're going to play 25 HS games, and probably 40-50 AAU games a year. These kids have more miles on them as college freshmen than an 4-year senior did back in 1990. This isn't even factoring in all the games played from 6th - 9th grade on comp league teams, which is pretty much mandatory for making the HS team anymore.

Kevin Durant currently leading the NBA in scoring at 27.3 ppg. That would be the lowest average to lead the league since 1998-99 when Iverson finished on top at 26.75. From there you have to go back to 77-78 and George Gervin to find a league leader lower than 27.3.

Boozer had 34/12 in 26 minutes? He must have played more minutes, no?

Why didn't D'Antoni ask the refs to review the clock after Pierce's shot? The ball was through the net at 0.8 seconds, but the clock wasn't stopped until 0.4. That would have likely been the difference between Amare's shot counting or not.

I just turned on the Blazers game and heard a statement that I never expected to hear in my life. LaMarcus Aldridge dominating in the paint. What in the Hell.

It only takes about 30 seconds of watching an NBA game to make me remember why I hate it. Andre Miller drives to the basket and is hacked by 2 players and no call.

Amare after losing at home to Boston tonight:

"We definitely earned our respect," Stoudemire said. "I guarantee you right now Boston respects us. We're no slouch. We're ready to play every night. Boston knows it."

This reminded me of my former high school teammate Steve ------. After we lost to our main rival Del Oro my senior year (they would go on to win section) Steve, who wasn't the brightest guy, would say to the Sacramento Bee: "They may have won on the scoreboard but we won the physical game - they'll be feeling it tomorrow."

I couldn't believe it when I read that the next day.

Portland sucks and now funk hates the nba. Nothing like counting your championship banners before they hatch.

Why does Wade act like Bron now? He was pretty obnoxious last night.

I have hated the NBA for years. It is the abusive relationship that I keep going back to.

I think the NBA this year has definitely lived up to the hype. (Other than the Lakers that is).

It has been a great year so far and I am excited.

I agree.

And one Boston player (don't remember who, Davis?) saw how ESPN was trying to pimp this non-rivalry between NY and Boston and simply said "It don't mean nothin' unless you win a game."

Almost as obnoxious as Paul Pierce running laps to celebrate his shot, not realizing there was still 0.4 on the clock.
