It's the whole mindset. Like he demonstrated and openly said last year, he thinks his place is not inside, not banging and getting rebounds. I think if we had a proper coach when we drafted him to really guide him and help him develop he'd materialise into the all-star we all envisioned. Sadly we had coaches that seemed fine with him standing around outside and just making backdoor passes to Kevin Martin. You play that way for a couple of years and soon you just forget how to play inside altogether.
Hawks and Hornets continue their win steaks. Very impressive win for the Hornets against the Heat, Paul didn't score much but he made all his teammates much better. What a crazy ending to that Suns/Griz game, I think in regulation that J. Rich tip in, if you look at the shot clock when he touched the ball didn't move as soon as he touched it, so I don't think he got it off in time, but that's just what I think. None the less, it was a very long game, but entertaining.
I'm disappointed in Wall's perfomance yesterday against the Knicks, had 8 or 9 TO's and they just went on a complete drought in the 4th quarter scoring only three points from the 7 min. mark. That's just pathetic, I don't credit New York's D because it's mediocre. I can't expect too much out of the young fella just yet, so I'll cut him some slack. He shouldn't of let Raymond Felton go off on him though, that was yuck! [end of rant]

^Oh snap!
I did watch a Sixers game the other night and wondered where he was... if he was hurt or something. He had his chance and I don't think not getting good coaching is the reason. He just isn't a banger and never will be and he intimated as much when he fawned all over his buddy Brockman saying he wish he had that in him. So did we Spence, so did we.

Lakers are even better than last year, and most of the elite west teams are slightly worse. Boston is the only team with a chance to beat them, and I'm thinking a finals rematch is pretty likely (Miami is hyped to death, but they have no frontcourt - sorry Bosh).
It irks me, not as a Kings fans, but as a fan of humanity. Lakers have the d-baggiest, most classless, jerks of a fanbase, and their team wins constantly. Its like a spoiled rich kid spitting on the world from the window of daddy's helicopter. I've never been the type to wish injury on anyone (not even Snaq back in the day), but it would serve Lakers fans right if Pau went down (nothing career ending, maybe some kinda break just as the playoffs come around).

Aaron Brooks out 4-6 weeks. Major blow to the Rockets who are already struggling to begin the season, they had such high hopes with Yao's return. They always play hard though so I am sure they will win some games people don't expect them to win.
Regarding Gunks post about the West; I agree with you about that, it seems this year there is no body in the West that stands out besides the obvious choice in LA. OKC is struggling, Hornets are a regular season team and won't do much in the playoffs, Houston is injured and always are, Denver is just a high offensive team, Utah isn't all that impressive, same with the Mavs. When you look at the West there just isn't any competition for the Lakers, maybe...once Portland can get fully healthy with Oden/Pryzbilla back they could give the Lakers a run for their money, other than that, it's just smooth sailing til the Finals.
Boston does look very good, everybody is contributing to that team and they look strong as ever.

The Grizz got their payback win today against the Suns, they should be 2-0 against them, but no shoulda coulda woulda's. Zach with a 20/20 game, bravo. Impressive win by Dallas over Boston, it was a good game and the Warriors at 5-2? Wow, that's something interesting for sure. How long can they keep this up.

It sucks if this is Peja's last season and he doesn't even play for his team... Not the way a player like him should end up, IMO.
