  • NBA regular season 2007-2008

    So, the new season starts!

    - The Raptors beat the Sixers (Bargnani 20 pts).
    - Yi makes his debut with 9 pts and a loss to the Magic.
    - Krstić returns and scores 10 pts in the win against the Bulls.
    - The Cavs were no match for the Mavericks, I guess they'll have a tough season this year.
    - The Spurs nailed a narrow victory against the Grizzlies (who would tell) with Ginóbili being the man with 30 pts (5/9 3pt) + 5 rebs + 7 assists in 30 minutes (!)

    And those 20 points came in less than 20 minutes. But more importantly for Toronto, their wonderful PGs, Jose Calderon and TJ Ford played very well.

    It’s looking that way, unfortunately. I watched this game, and it was, well, bad.

    Ginobili was great, as usual. Reporters are saying that Darko did a good job as well. I hope he does OK this year. I’m rooting for him, even after his Mike Tyson-esque rant to reporters about referees during the European Championships.

      Imo Ginóbili should be a starter and that goes way back. Perhaps he performs better coming off the bench, and he already stated that he's quite comfortable being the 6th man, but he's so important to the team that I think the Spurs would benefit a bit more if he was a starter and clearly had a more decisive role in the team. He's probably the best 6th man in the NBA ever.

        I'm a big fan too. Before he came to the NBA, I saw him at the 2002 WBC in Indianapolis. He was so much fun to watch because of his athletic skills. He is certainly a better player than Michael Finley and Bruce Bowen -- I don't think anyone doubts that. But you have to admit, he's a bundle of energy when he comes off the bench. He strikes like lightning!!

          Excuse me guys for my ignorance and that I would just like to confirm from you, is zone defense now allowed in the NBA?

          The Pistons used a 12-0 run - sparked by zone defense that befuddled Miami - over a 6-minute span down the stretch to take control. Rasheed Wallace scored 11 points for Detroit.

          - Excerpt from the recap on the season starter of Heat and Pistons.

            Yes, they changed the rules two summers ago, I think. Now any team can use a zone defense, but a defender still cannot stay in the paint/key for more than 3 seconds.

              First loss of the season for the Jazz, as they lose to the Rockets with McGrady scoring 47 pts (!)

                      Yes. 5 points, 5 fouls, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks in 38 minutes.

                      Not the most outstanding shape...

                      But... Okur, Boozer and Williams took 52 shots all together and Kirilenko just five.

                          Well, the Hawks beat the Mavs 101-94, do you have a crystal ball or something?

                            Surely the man of day.
                            Good old Stojaković was back and led the Hornets past the Lakers, scoring 36 pts with 10/13 from the 3-point line A record for the Hornets.

                              It's been a long time since Peja put up those kind of numbers. I'm glad to see he's back! I read that Peja set a record for the most 3-pointers by a Hornets player. And Chris Paul set a record for the most assists: 21.
                              Hornets 118, Lakers 104 - November 6, AP

                              LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Peja Stojakovic went on a long-range scoring spree, and Chris Paul was a generous playmaker as each rewrote the Hornets' record book.

                              Stojakovic made a franchise-high 10 3-pointers, and Paul broke another mark with 21 assists Tuesday night in New Orleans' 118-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

                              "It was a good night for our team," Stojakovic said in obvious understatement.

                              He missed just three of 13 shots from behind the arc and finished with 36 points. He was only 2-of-8 shooting 2-pointers.

                              By the fourth quarter, there was a sort of collective sigh of resignation from the Lakers' sellout crowd of 18,997 each time Stojakovic got the ball behind the arc. The fans went silent by the time the ball went through the hoop.

                              "The way we played tonight on the offensive end, with Chris Paul moving the ball and spacing the court, it looked easy," Stojakovic said. "Securing the defensive boards and running was really important for us.

                              "I got most of my shots in transition. Later on, they had to help on Chris playing pick-and-roll with David (West) and Tyson (Chandler), and somehow I was wide open. The guys were looking for me, particularly Chris."

                              Paul certainly was looking for him.

                              "The way he shot the ball tonight was unbelievable. When he's lights out like that, you've got to give him the ball," said Paul, who scored 19 points. "When you've got shooters like that and Tyson rolling to the rim, it makes my job so much easier.

                              "Our big guys are really setting screens well, and then it's all about spacing the court. When you have shooters like we have and teams don't guard them out there on the wing, what happened tonight will happen to you."

                              Kobe Bryant, who took only 20 shots for Los Angeles and scored 28 points, said Stojakovic and Paul were really on their game.

                              "Obviously, Chris Paul was making great penetration and Peja shot the ball extremely well," said Bryant, who had seven assists and six rebounds. "You don't want a guy like Peja to get going. It's a lesson learned.

                              ...Stojakovic hit three consecutive 3-pointers to close out the third quarter and New Orleans opened an 89-80 lead. He scored 17 in the period, including going 5-of-7 from 3-point range.

                              ....Stojakovic's 10 were the most 3-pointers ever against the Lakers. Four players had seven against Los Angeles in the past, most recently by Vladimir Radmanovic -- now with the Lakers -- when he was Seattle in 2005....
