I can't recall the last time the whole division (Atlantic) was this bad! None of these guys are even close to .500! And the worst thing is the Knicks (current last place in the division), owner of a 9-game slide, are only 3 games behind the Raptors! In 2003 David Stern insisted to guarantee each division winner a playoffs spot, and home court in the first round, no less! I bet he never saw a division as sucky as this year's Atlantic, right?
Watched the Pacers @ Spurs game. Sure, the Spurs' starters didn't play up to their level from the 2nd qtr onward, but the Pacers' bench has to be the worst one among top teams! They almost gave away an entire 26-point-lead in the 4th qtr alone! TO after TO, and they barely played any D. It was just disappointing.
Difficult to get a lottery pick out of Asik... the final year of his contract is a killer (at least $14M), and you will be lucky any team would take him off the Rockets.
By the way, Kobe is back but the Lakers' luck hasn't improved.
Nash has been out for 12 games and counting, and then Farmar went down... now Steve Blake is also suffering from an elbow injury! Kobe will have to play some PG during this period, and be like the "old" D-Rose. That should be kind of interesting to see how he handle the ball.
The Lakers still don't have an identity. They will go nowhere this year for sure... yet in the long run (2014 draft) it may turn out to be a "good thing". Painful to watch for now though.
A) Kobe Bryant is expected to miss six weeks with a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau in his left knee, the Los Angeles Lakers announced Thursday.
B) The proposed Asik trade is now off the table. The Rockets simply couldn't find a deal they like and decided to NOT to trade Asik at this time. Now they must deal with an unhappy player and see what they can do with him next.
