- give it time Brandon Jennings.
1. Los Angeles Lakers: The Champ is sure that the Lakers are glad that Pau Gasol’s injury hasn’t kept him out until Christmas. Sure the Suns have more road wins, but a 19 point rout by the Lakers earns them the top spot this week, again. A good early home schedule and wins against teams like the pathetic Nets leave LA looking good early.
2. Phoenix Suns: The Pacific Division certainly looks good this year. First team to 14 wins? Impressive. With Steve Nash dishing out double digit assist nights and the team scoring in triple figures, the Suns are winning ball games.
3. Cleveland Cavaliers: Lights out shooting against the Top-10 Dallas Mavericks cancels out the ugly loss despite a late comeback against the Charlotte Bobcats. Undefeated when the team scores 100, the Cavaliers are slowly clicking.

Stan Van Gundy has sex hair, which I guess is fitting considering his resemblence to Ron Jeremy.

I watched the Oklahoma City Thunder and Milwaukee Bucks and it got me thinking about Kevin Durant. Then I thought about LeBron James and how they will ultimately be judged at the end of their careers.
The part of their career’s that will be most scrutinized will be the number of championships they win, if any at all. Is that the fairest objective measure of greatness relative to another player? Read the rest of this entry »

At Paints in the Point we occasionally like to search the web for basketball sites that catch our interest.
However, we sometimes end up on sites that sell tigers.

Playoffs?
1. Los Angeles Lakers: OK, an early home schedule is good and all, and Pau Gasol is back and doing work, and everythings clicking. But, there is no but, the Lakers are the number one team in the league. However, I’m not sure Kobe’s increased scoring is a good sign or not.
2. Atlanta Hawks: Disclaimer: Yes I am writing this after watching their cold effort in their falling to the Orlando Magic, at home. But coming into Monday this team was still on fire, yes they deserve to be here now. Next week? watch out.
3. Denver Nuggets: Coming into the season I was concerned about Denver. Yes, drafting Ty Lawson is a HUGE plus, but they made no offseason moves to improve the team. But then, Carmello Anthony stepped up, he finally is dishing out points and rebounds like a true superstar. Tracking Anthony’s development at a recent trip to the pool really sold me on the Nuggets, they’ve come a long way. They had Allen Iverson around this time last year.

This really seems like the end of an era. For the past thirteen years, Allen Iverson has undoubtedly been one of the best and most polarizing figures in the NBA. It’s certainly hard to deny his impact on the association whether David Stern would like to admit it or not.
I was 10 during the 2001 NBA finals. I knew that the Lakers were huge favorites in that series, but after they took Game 1, it certainly looked like anything was possible. At the time, I didn’t realize how amazing it was that Iverson was able to carry that team to the Finals. Who was the second best player on that team? A 34 year old Mutombo? Eric Snow? Aaron McKie? The 76ers were such an awful team outside of Iverson and the fact that he was able to carry that team to the Finals on sheer will and determination is remarkable, something I can admire much more now than I could have 8 years ago.

Okay, so I watched bits and pieces of the Cavaliers and Wizards game when I wasn’t watching Modern Family (Wednesday nights at 9:00 PM on ABC) and I wasn’t really impressed. That is in general and on an individual basis for players on either team, except for Antawn Jamison. And Mike Miller. And the incredible Earl Boykins, but not for the same reason as the other two gentlemen. Read the rest of this entry »
