On a lighter nba note Eric Gordon played very well tonight for the rockets in a comeback win

Regular season got underway and a strong start by Eric Gordon.  News on the extent of the injury to Gordon Hayward is still unclear.  Post-game, coach Brad Stevens told reporters it was a dislocated ankle and fractured tibia; however, the Celtics reported the injury as a fractured ankle.  He's to have surgery today and clearly he's in for a long period of recovery and rehab

This is why I struggle to follow the NBA closely. It's more of a hype thing than true basketball.

Minus the last step, that's a pretty good move. I was expecting a five-step breakaway dunk with the refs all fixated on the rim.

Strong games from Gordon and Oladipo.

OG now officially on his way to collecting an NBA pension.  Good start to what will hopefully be a very long career.

Perea??? Are you serious? I bet his agent sent out nothing but those stupid high school mixes.

5-17 harkens back to Oladipo in Orlando. Can't have too many games like that.

Man, the Pacers are near impossible to watch if Turner isn't playing

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,204]

HUGE night for Vic but the Pacers lost anyway.

I'm afraid it's gonna be a long year for Yogi and the Mavs as tonight they were blown away by the Rockets 107-91 in a game that really wasn't that close as the Rockets led 62-39 at halftime and 92 -58 at the end of the 3rd quarter.  Despite the blowout, for whatever reason, Troy did not get any playing time.

Troy got 4 minutes at the end. 1-4, 2 points. He's not going to get very many minutes unfortunately.

Guess ESPN's box score leaves a lot to be desired.

Hollowell got selected by the Hawks and Hanner's going to the Westchester Straight Shots(Knicks).

Here's a blast from the past. The Mr. Irrelevant of the D-G-League draft was.....Malik Story.
