You know how I knew the Spurs were in trouble last night? Mike Miller got a block.

KOBE BEAN
The Lakers seem to finally have some mo and are in contention for a playoff berth out West. Last night they eeeeeked by the Hawks thanks to Kobe's 34, Dwights 15 boards, and Nash's 10 dimes. All kudos goes to Kobe Bean for this silly poster of J Smoove.
Immediate Dunk of the Year Candidate. The Lower Merion standout proving he still got some jump left in those HoF kicks.

'Sheed Doin' 'Sheed: First "Ball Don't Lie" Ejection
Crime against humanity, what the refs did to 'Sheed yesterday. This better not be signifying the end of the "Ball don't lie" era. David Stern needs to step in here. If they are trying to remove "Ball don't lie" from the NBA, they are going to remove some fans, too; including this one.
Not really, but I love issuing ultimatums. Fuck you, Stern.

Free Throw Shenanigans
Two funny free throw moments from last night... first is 'Sheed doing 'Sheed. At the :30 mark of the video below you can hear him yelling his catch phrase "Ball don't lie!"
Also, please note Jason Kidd in the background. His headband looks absolutely ridiculous. I know he is wearing it like that to cover a gash that required 8 stitches to close, but he looks like a homeless person. Side note: His kid is uglier than sin.
The next is Dwight Howard being a big fucking dumbass. Wipe that goofy grin off your face dude, you just air balled the easiest shot in basketball. I will never understand how professional basketball players cannot make free throws. Dwight went 7-19 last night from the line.
If I was one of Dwight Howard's teammates and was a lot bigger than I am, I would slap that stupid smile off of his face. Those 12 misses could've easily cost the Lakers the game.
C'mon Kobe. Live up to your MO from this year and clown this loser.

Ball night!
Notes and highlights:
- The Sixers suck, bad. They need Bynum back in the worst way possible. Putting up 77 on a Hornets team without the Brow or Austin Rivers?! Yikes. Also, fuck Nick Young. Glad we got rid of Sweet Lou Williams for him. Speaking of Sweet Lou, he's been on a tear:
- You know Psycho T is gonna hear it from his boys in their next sting-pong game for that one. Also, the Hawks beat the Pacers, whose title of "Best chance to beat Miami" is looking weak so far. This Granger injury could prove costly.
- Miami steamrolled BKNY. BronBron nearly got a triple-double in 3 quarters, Rashard Lewis dunked twice (!!!), and Deron Williams turned the ball over 7 times. Good thing they have Brook "Max-Contract" Lopez holding down the middle.
- Grizz beat up on the Bucks pretty bad. Brandon Jennings fell off the casting couch and came back down to earth, with him and Monta Ellis playing like everyone figured they would, shooting a combined 11-38. The success of Milwaukee rests entirely on two trigger-happy guards. Makes for great basketball.
- The Rockets have also come back down to Earth after the high of Smooth J and his otherworldly first two games. Denver, meanwhile, is starting to get its act together, led by the MANIMAL posting 16 and 16, denying what would have been a big Harden bucket late:
- Dirk-less Mavs beat the Lowry-less Raptors. OJ Mayo still playing awesome. Looks like he made a good move so far. Could be a pretty decent team once ze German is back. Also the Rubio and Love-less Wolves beat the Magic if anyone cares.
- In everyone's favorite storyline, the Lakeshow lost again, this time to the Jazz. Kobe scored 29, Dwight had a pedestrian 19 & 9, Steve Blake continues to be Steve Blake. Interesting note: First time in NBA history that, on a night with at least 12 games, nobody scored 30 points. Weird.
- Kings notched their second win of the season over the sorry Pistons. Greg Monroe even put up a triple double! But DeMarcus was doin his thang with 21 and 11, and a big ol dunk:
- Golden State beat the Cavs, David Lee had a nice 22 & 14, while Steph Curry managed to play and not get hurt. Also, Kyrie Irving is awesome.
- For the nightcap, the Clips went into full Lob City mode and ran the Spurs outta town, giving them their first loss. Griffin at 22 & 10, DeAndre at 20, 11 and 4 blocks, and CP3 had a quiet 10 & 12. Tough to beat when they're playing like that.

Atlantic Division Preview (Wheelchairs and HOVA)
Just a week before the NBA is back in business, so it's time to preview one of the most well-rounded divisions in the L, the Atlantic. There were a lot of offseason moves here, so let's dive right into it.
We begin with the hometown 76ers, who are looking to improve on their surprise run to game 7 of the conference semifinals. Even if DRose and his untimely knee injury helped get them there, they played great basketball and still nearly got past the Celtics to the ECF. With a lot of good basketball to build on, they snuck in and managed to land Andrew Bynum, the best center outside of Dwight Howard, who conveniently switched conferences (If you're about to say something about Brook Lopez, shut up. Just shut up). So the Sixers have the best center in a conference really lacking in big men. That's a huge start. Hopefully his paper maiche knees hold up long enough for him to average 22 and 13. Swaggy P is also in town, so the off-court antics are covered. If Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday make good on the big development we're supposed to see from them, expect the Sixers to fight for the top of the Atlantic Division.
Next stop, Beantown. What more can be said about Boston? The huge storyline for them is Shuttlesworth jumping ship to Miami. Between an apparent beef with Rondo, and the fact that they've tried to trade him for 2 years now, that wasn't that surprising. It's officially Rondo's team, with KG and Pierce serving as the compliments. Bringing in Jason Terry, getting Jeff Green back, Brandon Bass coming into his own, and Avery Bradley back at some point, the C's are a very solid team, and you can't count them out with Doc at the helm. They will most likely be the biggest challengers to Miami for the Eastern crown. Whether they stick to their routine of late of coasting into the playoffs and turning it on is still to be determined. But expect Rondo to play out of his mind, KG to just be completely out of his mind, and Pierce to keep doin his thing.
Further down the Eastern seaboard, we find the now-crowded city of New York. Kudos for the NBA for scheduling them to play their first game head-to-head in the house that HOVA built. The Knicks are the oldest team in NBA history. That is pretty wild. Offseason transactions include bringing back Rasheed Wallace, for whom there is not enough time in the day to talk about, Kurt Thomas, Raymond fatty Felton, and Jason Kidd's drunk ass. That is an unbelievable haul. Melo must be hyped. Oh, and Amare is already out with knee troubles? Looks like another great opportunity for Carmelo to exit the first round of the playoffs with the ball parked firmly in his hands on the wing.
But what of the fancy new Brooklyn Nets? They managed to avoid the complete offseason disaster that would have been losing Deron Williams, and actually managed to go grab Iso Joe Johnson from the ATL. The Gerald Wallace trade was fucking stupid, but that's long done now. Between Williams, Johnson, MarShon Brooks, Kardashian, CJ Watson and Brook Lopez, they have a half-decent team. Not one that's going to remotely challenge for a championship, but one that should be entertaining enough for all the BK hipsters. Expect a hard-fought first-round exit. Anything less and Prokhorov will have them thrown in the gulags. And I don't want to dwell on the subject, but how the fuck is Brook Lopez getting so highly rated? I know Shaq is just trying to be a douche saying he's better than Dwight, which I can respect, but is the league that devoid of centers that this guy is on a max deal?! Brook Lopez! Unbelievable.
Last but not least, the Raptors. Some solid players in the mix with Calderon, DeRozan, Valaciunas, and Lowry, but I don't see them improving too much on last years 0.35 winning percentage, especially with the big steps the rest of the division has made. They won't be Charlotte bad for sure, but definitely in the bottom 5 of the Eastern Conference.
