Nope, too busy watching Rockets cut it so close against bad teams. Took an OT today to beat the T-Wolves.
On the positive side, really liking the way Montiejunas has come along for us with Howard/Jones out for a while. Without him we may have well lost a lot of games. I think he really resembles Nowitzki, with versatility on both hands, hook shot, can shoot long range, everything except free throws. Exciting.
Still, West is too tough this year, need to pick up these wins
But still, they manage to win with half of their starting lineup including Howard out, thats extremely important. Harden and Curry are my MVP favourties right now.
Great matchup today, Mavericks vs GS and Curry. We havent lost in ages and i expect that to continue today. 2 of the best offensive teams, should be fun! Go Curry.
On other notes, Westbrook is looking better than ever, He basically just continued his play from the playoffs and is the leader of OKC at the moment while Durant is getting back and tbh, I wouldnt be surprised if he eclipses him this year as the best player on the squad. As for now, I see him as the best or second player right now.

Not sure if he is really suited to their team as in especially Ellis needs the ball a lot and there is only one real big man in the zone for him with Chandler as Nowitzki and Parsons usually stay at the 3p line.
But he surely is one of the best passers in the league and gives them a top point guard as this was always the weakest position since Kidd left.
Losing Wright though hurts a lot imo. There is almost no backup now for the PF/C spots. Crowder did not progress as hoped and Nelson is easily replaced by Rondo anyway.
So value wise a nice trade for Dallas. Playing wise not too sure.
I think the window passes for Dallas if they didn't make a big move in the next couple years. I don't see Rondo as a perfect fit either, but with the West the way it is they had to take the opportunity before Dirk gets too old and the team has to reload. In the grand scheme of things this is a nice trade.
On the Brewer trade -- I think this was just Morey trying to use the Jeremy Lin trade exception they received from earlier. This is more of a setup for a bigger move at the trade deadline I think.

Some of the worst refereeing I have ever seen in my life in the Houston, Atlanta game. Howard called for two "pushes", Terry called for a "travel", even though it clearly wasn't, and Millsap scores on a travel
Klay freaking Thompson went GODMODE during the 3rd quarter against Kings to establish two NBA records - 37points in one quarter and nine 3's during it. Hats off.
I saw that the Hornets won again, do they actually have a chance of doing something for me this year?
Charlotte has some chances to make the playoffs thanks to being in lame East conference even when playing, lets say not good. They are currently on last 8th spot, so anything can happen. Detroit and Brooklyn are close and one would think these two teams can be their opponrnts for this fight and teams on places 1-7 i see as stronger ones. On the other hand, Jennings for Detroit is out for the season in recent news (that sucks Mre doesnt it?after restarting the franchise by sending J-Smoove out).
Honestly i have expected a lot more from Hornet this year, but they need to get rif of Lance Stephenson, who drags them down. He is earning shitload of money coming from Indiana as the "star", but he has some terrible numbers this year. Good rebounds (6.1) and assits (4.8), but he has 9.8 points in 31mins/game with 38.5%FG and 15.3%3P !!!In almost 11 FGs per game These are some terrible numbers for player that earns 9millions per year and should be a "star" next to Big Al and Kemba.
I dont think they will do jackshit, Suns is a slightly better team and a few games up while OKC clearly are better with their 2 stars in the lineup. Im not saying it absolutely cant happen, but I doubt it very much..
Ugh, apparantly I still think New Orleans is Hornets. Embarrasing. But Hornets wont do anything either, I refuse to believe they will advance from the first round in a better EC than last year.
Harden for MVP, leading in ppg, second in assists for a non point guard, and fifth in steals a game. He has also significantly improved his defensive game as well
Lol I have to agree, there is no way I can say Harden is MVP material even though he is close.
