NBA 2013-2014

I love the stuff that is coming out of the SportsVU trackers. Interesting one on Jordan there, and confirms what a lot of people have said in that for all the blocked shots he's much more of a B-level defender.

Yet Rivers is trying to build up DPOY honors for him. Good luck with that, Doc.

LeBron says his back still isn't quite right though it is improving. And that because he tried to rest his body more this off-season he was going to have to play himself into shape. After a 12-17 FGs and 4-4 FTs night against Charlotte, his shooting numbers in November are now 64/52/76. 70% from the field in the last 4 games.

Brandon Davies has played 17 minutes tonight so far for Philly. 4 points, 4 rebounds. Great to see him getting some playing time at least.

I was prepared not to get all excited about the Blazers this year. Actually picked them preseason to be a 40/42 ball club. Now I find myself waiting in anticipation for the next game against Milwaukee and them being 9-2 to start the year. Jazz fans, help me be realistic and teach me to be hopeless like you.

I know it's fools gold, but come on, 10-2, and a sweep of a 4 game road trip is gotta be something.

It's an awful year to get off to a hot start before coming back down to earth and ultimately landing a 5 seed and a first round exit.

But nobody is going to fault you for enjoying it.

5th seed? Playoffs? That would be a HUGE DIFFERENCE over my expectations, and experience over the past couple of years. I was just hoping that we could just beat the Jazz on some dark January evening in a half filled high school gym. I do miss the days when the Jazz/Blazers games actually meant something.

Poor Derrick Rose.

Poor Derrick Rose.

I was really rooting for him to come back. Hopefully it's not that serious. Did not look good.

Philly tied at Indiana late in the 4th. MC-W with 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 steals.

The Blazers/Warriors game was one of the most satisfying games I've seen in a long time. It feels good that games matter again.

Rose done for the season.

I'm not sure there are in Bulls fans on here to troll. Unless you are just being an asshole, which I guess is a possibility.
