NBA talk
The LA Clippers outscored Indiana 31-7 in the second quarter tonight. 31-7! That's outrageous! They currently lead the Pacers by 23 midway through the third. Unreal. The season is only a week old, but the Clippers are definitely the surprise thus far. They're one double overtime loss to defending champ Detroit away from being unbeaten and are really playing some inspired ball.
*Final score update: Clippers 102 Pacers 68
WOW!
Also hot are the Jazz who are just flat out mashing teams into the ground. I knew Utah would be good, but they look downright scary. Them and Phoenix. Both are unbeaten. The new-look Suns are also pasting everyone in their path, scoring loads and loads of points, though they're in a battle right now with Cleveland.
Hot and cold team of the week: Lakers. In their three wins they've looked anywhere from great to fantastically awesome. In their two losses, anywhere between mediocre and horrible. They only game I wasn't able to catch was their easy win over the Atlanta Hawks (who are miserable). Somewhere between the two polar extremes lie the real Lakers. If Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, and Chris Mihm are clicking then Kobe & co. will continue to do well. Tonight, they take on one of the league's early disappointments: Memphis.
A playoff team last year, the Grizzlies are off to a dim 0-4 start. Pretty surprising. Also looking pretty poor in week one is Sacramento. They're only 1-3 out of the gate and not playing with much fire. Rick Adelman better right the ship in a hurry before things get out of control. Stojakovic's focus is definitely somewhere other than basketball.
Finally, last night the New Jersey Nets beat the Portland Trailblazers by a final (a final! score of 64-60. I hereby motion that both teams be expelled by the league. Their expulsion will serve as a warning to any NBA team who fails to score at least 75 points in a game. If you can't score 75, you're worthless and nobody like you and you have cooties, so there!
