Lakers lost last night!

[M.L. King]

Yeah, I'm glad. Indiana is very solid actually; they beat Celtics and Lakers.

[M.L. King]

Exactly my thoughts:

Western Conference scout on what the Chauncey Billups-Allen Iverson trade has done for the Nuggets

"Chauncey has been fantastic. These guys show him respect. He's got a voice with them right away. You can see him and George Karl are on the same page. He keeps those other guys like Nene and Kenyon [Martin] involved, whereas before AI and [Carmelo Anthony] shot every shot. We'll have to see how he does with the altitude at his age and the speed [at point guard] in the West, but Denver was going absolutely nowhere the way they were constituted."

At the moment I'm watching Knicks versus Pistons. It's just so frustrating to see Detroit playing poor defense, even for me and I'm not the Detroit Pistons fan. In the last past season they served as a role model in the NBA and they all at the sudden have to adapt to caprice of one player.

[M.L. King]

Knicks defeated Pistons 104-92. Detroit is 7-8 since Iverson arrived.

[M.L. King]

Boston won in a thriller against Indiana Pacers after OT. Ray Allen scored season high 35 points and was the leading scorer of the game. This was Boston's 12th consecutive win.

[M.L. King]

Boston won 13th consecutive time and they broke the franchise record of the best start in the season. Previous was 20-2; now they are 21-2.

[Bojan]

Heard about that. Wish I had time to watch some NBA

[M.L. King]

I wander fs the Bull's record from 72-10 could be topped either by Celtics, Laker or Cavaliers.

I have the same problem as well mate although I try to watch at least a game per day.

[Bojan]

I hope not. Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Kukoc are still in my memories.
