Going to enjoy every game those front runners lose this year, not that I expect there to be many.

Lillard also dropped 39 to get the w for the trailblazers against the Jazz

Always good to start with a win Lillard and McCollum with 64 points, the other 3 starters contributed just 11.

Some big numbers by some stars today and some young guns.

Whiteside goes 18pts 14rbs 4blks as the Heat get it done over the Magic
Mavs and Pacers go to overtime and the Pacers pulled away early in OT with Myles Turner scoring 30 and gravbing 14 boards
Isaiah Thomas has 25 and 9 dishes as the Celtics account for the Net
DeRozen 40 and Valanciuncas 32 and 11 go big to down the Pistons
The Hornets led by Kidd-Gilchrist 23 14 defeat the Delly led Bucks with the Greek freak dropping 31 and 9 boards
Grizzles leave it late to beat the Timberwolves
A massive night by Davis 50pts 16rebs 5asts 7stls 4blks still isnt enough for the Pelicans to beat the Nuggets
Westbrooks Thunder leave it till the last qtr to dispatch the improving 76ers with Westbrook and assist away from a trip double
The Kings defeat the Suns
The new era of the Lakers starts off in style with a win over the Harden led Rockets Harden had a career night in assists dishing out 17 aswell as 34pts

Anyone know how we can get rid of that awful Australian NBA site? Used to be able to go to the US one after but that seems to have been stopped.

Just woeful reporting of stuff. Case in point. Thon Maker apparently had an awful debut. Go and look further and it's awful because he came on for 90 second of junk time. Nothing to do with him going 0-10, or having heaps of turnovers. Just didn't get on court because, as we always knew, he's super raw and not ready. Plus, all the best content is hard to get to now.

Can't you just go to the set default site, set to US and then hit the NBA.com link at the top of the page... Sets for 7 days and then just do it again...

Bogut fractured his tibia in a "collision" with his opponent only 58 seconds into his first game with Cavs. This bloke is made of chalk.

Westbrook is the MVP imho. what he has done is outrageous

would you be upset if they had co-mvp?

[beef]

If the Houston/Thunder series is as one sided as game 1, Harden will be given MVP.

I've seen Bird, McHale, Pearce, Garnett & Allen all play unbelievable playoff games in Boston, but Isiah Thomas' game today was out of this world.
53 pts, 27 of them in the 4th & OT. The Wizards had no way to stop him & the C's take a 2-0 lead to Washington.

Jordan dropped 63 on Boston in Boston didn't he?

Yep, in Game 2 1986 which the Bulls lost in double OT. It still stands as the highest score in a playoff game. He surpassed the great Elgin Baylor who scored 61 also in Boston, Game 5 of 1962 Finals.

I reckon Jordan hit 48 or 49 in game 1 that year too.

Pretty sure Jordan dropped a 'double-nickel' 55 point game in an NBA Final series against Phoenix too?

But you know you've done something special when people are comparing your performance to the best of Jordan, that's a crazy game by Isaiah Thomas made all the more remarkable he's only 5'9" too!

It really is incredible to think he did that in an NBA playoff game yet is the same height as Jerome Randle.

The choke by the Wizards might have cost them a spot in the Conference Finals. They'd have to win both now in DC for any chance imo.

[Spargo]

Not sure they choked.
