Random League Thoughts 1

Here are some random thoughts on the only one-week old season

1- The Celtics will be good, just as advertised. I think the more impressive win was at Toronto with Pierce VERY cold and even KG with only 13 at the end of regulation. But then KG had 10 in OT and Ray Allen scored a bunch. When one is cold, the others will take over. Opening night Allen was quiet, but he took over in Game 2. He can really shoot.

2- Indiana is 3-0?? Amazing what a coaching change can do. They have new attitudes and Jermaine O’Neal is excited about playing ball again. I don’t know if they can keep it up, but they look like they are playing hard.

3- New Orleans 3-0. Chris Paul is hitting that 3rd year bump and raising his game. West and Chandler can own boards. They have talent. This is clearly a playoff team.

4- I am surprised the Lakers are 2-1. They barely lost to Houston and then won at Phoenix and over Utah. Solid wins. They really don’t have much after Kobe. And when will Bynum start starting? Kwame Brown should not be a starter!

5- Putridness. How bad are the Kings?? When will Minnesota, Seattle, Portland, and Sac get wins? These are not good teams and will help make some gaudy records for other Western teams. How bad is Miami right now? They couldn’t win in exhibition or now in the regular season either!

6- How cold is Gilbert Arenas? His 3-pt shooting percentage is currently in the single digits! Notice how Washington cannot win with him shooting this cold.

7- Kevin Durant is for real. When was the last time a rookie came into the league and in his first three games had 17, 27, and 24 points? The second two nights he was shooting right at 50% from the floor. 10-19 and 3-6 for 3’s. These are such great numbers for a kid just starting out. He doesn’t have much help on his team either. I heard he needs to work on rebounding but he is already a very tough guy to stop from scoring.

GO WCA Eagles!!
