LeBron needs 24 ppg over next 5 years to hit 30,000. Will be youngest ever by 2 years.

 

[THE HCP]

@ESPNChrisPalmer: LeBron needs to avg 23 for next 10 years to become NBA's all-time leading scorer.

 

[huevonkiller]

The Lakers' really fit poorly together. Antawn Jamison is a terrible defender too, I'm not sure he's the solution.

Ray Allen needs 26 pts to pass Adrian Dantley (23,152) for 22nd on all-time scoring list

Guess what country Armon Johnson just signed to play in?

(Hint: think Borat)

 

[THE HCP]

VERY NICE!

 

[NOVoodoo]

Had to google BC Astana... apparently that's where Rawle Marshall wound up too.

It looks like they compete in the same league as a lot of Russian teams though, like CSKA Moscow, so I doubt it's as bad as it sounds.

Knicks vs Heat tonight: It will be the 1st ever meeting between these teams where both have a win percentage of .700 or higher (per Elias).

LeBron has now scored at least 20 in each of the 1st 16 games this season, a career-best (previous high was 7 to start '04-05).

 

[Haakzilla]

...Felton is playing like an All-star right now as the Knicks are destroying the Heat in Miami!

 

[Denny Crane]

4 former Bulls on the Knicks. Chandler, Brewer, Smith, and Kurt Thomas.

4 Blazers as well, Wallace, Felton, Camby and Thomas.

Sheed's still got a lot of game!

Sheed's still got a lot of game!

...of course he does, most future hall-of-famers do!

 

[illmatic99]

Knicks have two 20pt wins against MIA. WTF.

 

[huevonkiller]

Yeah we were terrible but Felton is still a mediocre player. We have to improve our perimeter defense by getting LeBron out of this small ball lineup, and focus more on outside shooters.

Wade erased Novak last year so I would think about putting him on there next time too.

 

[illmatic99]

Aren't you a Laker fan?

 

[huevonkiller]

Nope, I used to like Kobe when he was hated though. That was a long time ago.

Dirk Nowitzki will likely not return to the Dallas Mavericks starting lineup until after the New Year.

[QUOTEPau Gasol did not take part in shoot-around today, will not play was OKC. Sunday's the next time he could play (vs. Utah). #Lakers[/QUOTE]

Rajon Rondo leads the NBA in assist percentage. If the season ended today, only John Stockton has a higher percentage in the last 45 years.
