umm...they beat the bucks who are a big surprise this season.

they beat the warriors today easily, who are ahead of the lakers and top 5 in the west.

they beat the wizards who only have 1 loss last time i checked.

they beat the lakers...but they're not a quality team (yet).

They've done well. The biggest question isn't whether they can beat good teams(they have in the past too), it's consistentency through the season and in the upcoming seasons. That's always been their downfall. Good pockets of play, and then big drop offs.

I have to give them their props. They have done well so far. However I am not 100% sold yet. Everytime I thought they will do well they disappoint. I want to see them for all 82 games first before I am sold. However they are doing really well and I have to salute them on that.

Camby had some 21/21 vision tonight...
21 points
21 rebounds
4 blocks
31 minutes

IMPRESSIVE

When the guy is healthy, he's really good.

He's the best player on the Nuggests. Denver really should have drafed Wade. What a great pairing those two would be.

Elton Brand is a beast. 32 and 10 tonight.

Camby...21 and 21? Damn!

Melo is playing like he did in his rookie year again.

Chris Bosh is the NBA's next big star.

Looks like Iggy can shut down #8 but not #23. Interesting.

Camby has been the best player on the Nuggets. That is plain and simple. They should have drafted Bosh or Wade over Melo and avoided the overrated Kmart(Kidd factor). Kiki is one of the best GM's, but there's a mistake he made.

Whoever had Duncan, got similar results tonight like Camby's 21/21 game.

22 points on 9-16 shooting(4-4 from the line), 19 rebs, 4 ast, 4 blks, 1 stl

the fans should get to vote who they want to see in the dunk contest....cuz i don't really trust the guys inviting the players.....

Birdman for 2 straight years? cmon.....

#3 pick in the draft outplayed the #1 pick tonight.

jsm0331 wrote:#3 pick in the draft outplayed the #1 pick tonight.

Not by much, though. Both teams are very happy with their picks, I'd say.

Camby is having a breakout season. His stats are amazing!

Do what my sig says and

VOTE 4 ELTON IN THE ALL STAR GAME

Luther Head is really stepping it up with T-Mac being out.

Tonight he scored 28 points and pulled down 7 rebounds in 43 minutes.

With tonight's W against the Raptors, the Suns held their opponent under 100 points for the third consecutive game. Not bad for the team that was dead last in D last season.

I knew the guy was a steal for the Rockets.. a pure shooter w/ great quicks and leaping ability..sort of like a cheap Ben Gordon, though he did putup better than that performance tonight

i was hoping by a miracle that he would slip down to us..but that would have been a miracle

and how about them cavs..they seem to be winning everyone by at least 20, and the scary thing is, LBJ seems to be pacing himself doing this...as his minutes have been down, and he's gone more perimeter

and seesh, MELO WENT TO HTE LINE 22 TIMES..way to go caron j/k

Rockets suck, alot of teams suck this year Yao sucks too.

Chris paul nearly gets a triple double and beats the Wolves...

seesh, how much more can KG take?

And how about chris paul? I bet the hawks are taking part in their annual tradition of kicking themselves for screwing up on their draftpick

Shawn Marion is playing excellent basketball (as usual), carrying the Suns right now: 20ppg, 13rpg, 2 apg, 2 spg and 2 bpg?!! That's ridiculous, no wonder they call him the Matrix.

I see your quote

I love hoop. The Lakers are a part of me as a human being (as are the Clippers / Warriors to a lesser extent).

Im really starting to wonder if my love for watching the game will diminish if Kobe Bryant doesnt do something spectacular in the next few years (or NOW). Are there equally talented players ( if not more so ) than KB in the league? Yes. Are there any players as compelling to watch? Hell No....and thats why i ask the question of myself.

Kobe needs to make "it" happen.....for the sake of entertainment.
