Todays NBA action

Just some things i'm real keen to find out about for todays NBA games;

- The Brand Dalembert Vs Bosh O'neal match-up.
- Horford vs Howard
- Knicks debut under coach D.
- undersized Mayo getting his jumpers defended by a rotation of T'mac and Artest. Good f!@#kin luck little dude.
- All the rookie debuts, especially;
Mayo
Beasley
Hibbert
Gordon
Love
Gallinari? (pretty sure he's still out..)
- Will the Bucks fire back against a weak (but first franchise game) OK Thunder. Must win to be considered.
- Will new coach Curry have Rasheed put in 100% against a weaker team- a game he would usually coast through.
- Duranst 2nd season starts tonight, he just may be a dark horse for the scoring title. (Who the hell else is gonna score for the thunder???)
-Al Jefferson is going to destroy a weak Sac froncourt, 30/20 not out of the question.
-Clippers could upset cross town rivals- i like the Kaman Camby vs Gasol Bynum matchup. Kobe and Davis could get into a shoot-out. Al Thornton and Gordon the difference? Ok its a roughie. Not 36ers tigers away roughie, but a roughie none the less.

Slow day at work so expect updates :-)

footnote- This is the most excited i've ever been for an NBA season. Not sure why.

Curry's had a sulk about the Knicks not even running him in their 8-9 man rotation. One of the headlines on ESPN if anyone wants to read more.

I believe that is because Curry cant run.

10:32 SAC - Personal foul on Q. Douby
10:48 MIN - K. Love defensive rebound
10:50 SAC - K. Martin misses a layup
10:55 SAC - K. Martin steals the ball from K. Love
10:56 MIN - K. Love defensive rebound
10:58 SAC - Q. Douby misses a layup
11:04 SAC - S. Hawes defensive rebound
11:06 MIN - R. McCants misses a layup
11:12 MIN - R. Carney defensive rebound
11:13 SAC - K. Martin misses a layup

Quality sequence of play there to open the second... Their arms must be hurting from a 32-33 first term...

Raptors 10-16 on 3 pointers...
Kapono, Calderon and Parker do the damage.

Isaac- may want to chuck a spoiler in the title just in case?

Josh Smith and Dwight Howard filling the box scores.

Jefferson on target for monster start.

Gallinari on the court for the knicks.

Jason Thompson on target for the kings.

Mario Chalmers with a massive first game as a rookie! 17 points, 8 Assist, 7 Rebounds and only 1 turnover... Rose Who??? ;)

On the other hand, Beasley could only manage 9 points and 4 rebounds in 26 minutes.

Worst of all they lost to the Knicks!!!

K.Love not bad- 12/9 with 2as 2blks and a steal in 19 min off the bench.

Big effort from Mario though.

Go you knicks!

My Mayo prediction spot on- 5-20, 0-7 from downtown.
In fact, Griz 0-13 from 3pt land in total.

Dunno guys - for me Gasol The Latter played a pretty impressive game (vs the Rox and Yao Ming no less!!!)... 12pts 12reb(5off) and 2blk in 35min... And yet Kevin McFail drafted Chris Richard (duh!!!) ahead of this guy (would be the prefect foil alongside Al Jefferson on the Wolves - not to worry hopefully our 2nd rounder Pekovic will be over in 2 years time and all will be forgiven)...

How about NYK though - the D`Antoni experiment seems to be working - for now...
