Vic took a hard fall early in the OKC game; sustained a sprained wrist and did not return.  Status questionable for OKC's next game on Tuesday.

Yogi and his LI Nets teammates are going to be guinea pigs for 9 games.   Full story at:  http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18264670/nba-d-league-tinker-4-5-person-crews

MIAMI -- The NBA is going to take a look at having more officials on the court.

The league said Monday that nine upcoming NBA Development League games will feature four- and five-person crews instead of the customary three, in an effort to collect data and see if having additional officials involved affects the game.

All nine games will be hosted by the Long Island Nets at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, home of the NBA's Nets.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/front-office-insider-breaking-down-trade-restrictions-173627063.html

The date when 125 free agents signed this summer are eligible to be traded is Dec. 15, but don’t expect a flurry of trades once the restriction is lifted. 

Cody and Vic both fall under the 'Poison Pill' restriction.

‘Poison pill’ restriction
The “poison pill” restriction impacts eight players and teams that agreed to rookie-scale extensions before Oct. 31.

Because each player is still operating under his rookie-scale contract – the new contract doesn’t start until next season – the NBA takes the average of all the years in both contracts when determining the trade value of a player.

While there is no date restriction and the player does not have to consent to a deal, there are trade limitations.

Vic did not play as expected because of the sprained wrist he suffered Sunday.  VonLeh had a rare starting role.

If you didn't see it in Yogi's own thread, be sure to look at his stat line for yesterday's game.  Very impressive.

Gordon didn't have one of his better shooting nights but he did have 8 assists.

I think Westbrook misses Vic still out with his sprained wrist.  Westbrook didn't even get a double-double last night.

I hate this Pacers team. 3 losses in the past 5 games to the Mavs, Heat, and Pelicans. All bottom 10 teams. 1 step forward, 2 steps back. ALL YEAR. PG doesn't deserve to be an all-star this year.

Nothing else needs to be said. They're a joke. 

I forgot they were even playing the last couple nights until I saw the scores. I'm not sure I've ever been so apathetic about the Pacers this early in a season. Even the Jim O'Brien teams were more interesting than this.

VonLeh 2nd consecutive game in a starting role but not getting starter minutes.

Note: Gordon's 3 barrage was part of an all-time record by Houston for 3's made and attempted in a game (24-61). Who needs to post up anymore?

[Class of '66 Old Fart 91,310]

Cody with a nice double double.

Another strong game for Gordon off the bench.

Vic again out with his sprained wrist.  Westbrook continues to be amazing with 26 pts., 11 reb. and 22 assists.  His 13th triple double on the season.

Vic misses his 4th game with a sprained wrist; Westbrook with 46 in a losing effort for the Thunder.

Yogi with another overall strong D-League game even though his 3 point shooting wasn't very good.
