Some good ing games on the slate for tonight. Got my booze ready. Let's GO.

Also, if Lillard goes off against the Clippers you could see them go into full panic mode with a 6-6 record. Would be interesting to see.

Questions for the night:

76ers/Hornets - is Philly the worst team ever?

Rockets/Grizz - Did McHale's firing really fire up the Rockets?

Spurs/Pels - Anthony Davis is back, but is he really BACK?

Clips/Blazers - Can Paul and the Clippers shake off another epic chokejob?

Bulls/Warriors - Does the streak stop at 13?

Lakers/Raptors - Will Kobe shoot over 33%?

The Sixers draw a larger crowd than these Pelican s.

KAT taking a wet all over the Pistons. God damn he is going to be good. People thinking Okafor will be better

I've been saying Towns > Okafor all along. Both >>>>>>>>>>>> D'Bust, though

Wheres that re HemisfairArena at? Not only is he beasting, ting all over your boy Drummond

Half the first round is going to end up being better than D'bust. super scrub.
On a serious note though, seems like this could be one of the better drafts in awhile. Alot of the rookies looking pretty good so far.
