[Jim05]

[Johno6]

[Jim05]

Heat outscore the Hawks 7-0 in OT3
Kings score 35 in the 4th to come from a fair way back and beat the Bucks

[brod]

BRODS Breakdown

- Andrew Bogut is in Australia (indefinately) dealing with an unkown personal situation
- Jason Kidd left the Mav game today with a lower back injury and di not return
- Wade missed his second game with a heel injury and had LBJ sitting along side him
- Kobe is getting a shot prior to every game in his wrist
- The Kings have fired Paul Westphal (the second quickest into a season ever)
- The Philadelphia 76ers LEAD THE ATLANTIC DIVISON

- Chris Bosh threw up a three (PRAYER) to get the Heat into OT, they finally won in 3OT as the Hawks went scoreless. Since the start of the 2007 season, Bosh is now 6-for-10 from long range in the last 10 seconds of the 4th quarter/overtime of a tie or one-possession game.
- The Spurs beat the Mavs who shot a franchise record 1/19 3ptFG. Odom went 3/10 from the field and actually RAISED his season FG%
- DeMarcus Cousins actually came to play (back in the starting 5) 19pts, 15reb in 28 min before he fouled out
- Lakers slip to 0-3 on the road (96-107 at Portland). The Lakers have 3 players and heaps of spuds (Bryant 30pts, 8 reb - Bynum 21pts, 12 reb, 3 blo - Gasol 19 pts, 7 reb, 2 bloc..THE REST26pts, 20reb)

[Jim05]

Knicks trail the Wizards by 1 at the half.
Trailed by 16 points early in second

Kobe has had a great start to the season despite being injured. Pity he hasn't got the supporting cast around him

Bynum could be even better if Kobe let him and actually involved him in the offence

[RoosterMarty]

Gotta love Kobe homers.

He has been ok this season but he still puts up far too many stupid shots, turns the ball over recklessly and doesn't get his team mates involved enough. He seems to think he has to win every game single handedly at times.

Like brod said, get Bynum involved more and the Lakers will be a better team. He has had a fantastic start to the season.

Kobe always seems to have some kind of 'injury' as well.

[brod]

BRODS Breakdown

- Eric Gordon (the major player New Orleans got in the Chris Paul trade) will miss three weeks with an ankle injury
- Twolves forward Michale Beasley is out for three games with a foot injury

- Kobe shoots 13/28 (39pts) in Lakers win over Golden State. (My question...why does Andrew Bynum get only 9 shots..and he got 6 offensive boards, so there is most of them)
- The Pacers have six in doulble figures and go into Boston and win by 13, as the Celtics shoot less than 40%, Paul Pierce 3/17FG
- Minnesota lose at home again this time to Cleveland in the clash of the two best performing rookies...Irving 30 min 5/15FG 14pts, 5 reb, 5 ast, 7 TO against Rubio 26 min 4/8 FG 10pts, 2 reb, 5 ast, 3 steals, 3 TO
KLOVE watch - 8/19FG 29pts, 3/7 3ptFG, 14 reb
- Bulls get 18 off the bench from Kyle Korver, while Rose is two boards short of a triple double as the Bulls beat the Howard, sorry Magic...way to stand up Ryan Anderson (2/10FG 1/73pt FG)

[Jim05]

Hawks lead the Bulls by 15 at end of first

[RoosterMarty]

Chicago got it back to 2 then Atlanta started nailing 3s again.

18 down at the half with the Hawks shooting almost 62% from the field, 8/9 from deep.

[Jim05]

Bulls getting a fair touch up.
Knicks just completed a great second quarter, went 39-18 against Pistons

[Jim05]

Knicks win 103-80

[brod]

BRODS Breakdown

- LBJ is back for the Heat and goes close to a quadruple double (32 pts, 9 ast, 8 TO, 7 reb) as Wade misses again
- The Hawks end the Bulls 6 game win streak with Rose going 3/10FG
- Durant scores go ahead bucket with less than 30 second to go for OKC
- Danny Green scores career high 24 for the Spurs who beat Denver
- Pacers improve to 6-2 with easy 99-77 win against Charlotte
- Carmello only had 14FGA....only made 5 though
- Are Philly any good??? Toronto shoot just 31% as 76ers go to 5-2
- Dirk goes 2/10FG, but the Mavs beat the Hornets at home
- Is Milwaukee just destined to never have a full roster..no Bogut, no Udrih, no Mbah a Moute, no Dunleavy Jr. and Brockman got injured during the game. Blake Griffin was ther though taking advantage with 22 points and 14 boards

[brod]

BRODS Breakdown

- Andrew Bogut will return to the US and be ready to play Tuesday against the Spurs
- OKC guard Eric Maynor will miss the seaosn with a knee injury

- The Wizards are still winless, as Minnesota won their first away game of the season 93-72 despite 13pts, 14 ast and 6 reb from rookie sensation Ricky Rubio
KLOVE watch - 20pts, 16 reb, 3 ast, 3 steals

- The Magic won a game and finally dont have to thank Dwight Howard after the centre was limited to 20 minutes due to foul trouble that saw him grab his first board four minutes into the last quarter. Richardson scored 22 and Big Baby 20 off the bench to see of the Kings 104-97 in Sacramento. Howard wasnt the only big name in foul traouble with Demarcus Cousins only playing 22 minutes but scored 16 points and had 10 boards
- Durant was dominiant in OKC's win against the Spurs who have lost all three road games this year (they have won all six home games) and he took only 9FGA, making five of them. He was 10/10 from line line for 21pts to go with 10 rebounds and 7 assists
- The Bogut-less Bucks lose their sixth straight road game in Phoenix 93-109, as Steve Nash hands out a lazy 17 assists
- The Blazers are 6-2 with forward LeMarcus Aldridge continuing his great early season form with 28pts, 8 reb, 4 ast, 4 steals, while for the Cavs Kyrie Irving keeps pace with Rubio with 21pts, 4 reb, 4 ast
- The Lakers turn the ball over 27 times allowing the Grzzlies to have 93 FGA, yet score only 82 points as the Lakers win 90-82 with Kobe scoring 26pts

I am/was a Shaq fan and it was always quite humorous to me that in his 8 years with the Lakers the Lakers had a better W/L record without Kobe than with him. He's always been a vastly overrated and over-hyped player and is to this day still the same spoilt brat chucker he always was, permanently injured as a ready-made excuse for his failings much like our own Lleyton Hewitt.

I'll never forget what he did to Phil, Shaq, Malone & Payton in '04 chucking them out of that finals series against Detroit, intentionally IMO.

Its your opinion, but Kobe is and will be remembered as an all time great. Superstar and one of the best

I am far from a Kobe fan, infact he's one of those players u love to hate. But I totally agree with you here, Kobe will go down as a HOF and one of the all time great basketballers.

[Johno6]

Kobe is one of my fav players, along with Kidd
