Hey, they won in Denver for the first time in nine years. Silver lining?

Melo has 37,9,7 and Nuggets waste it. This must be what it's like to be a Philly fan

Well... yeah, things are bad in both Memphis AND Minnesota (where KG plays).

Um yeah.....sometimes my brain stops working.

Magic win again....I'm giddy. After last year's very exciting playoffs, this season hasn't proved to be anti-climatic at all (atleast for me). I'm no longer thinking about maybe making the playoffs, I'm starting to think about going deep in the playoffs and getting home court.

As long as Dwight Howard doesn't pull a Shaq on you (and his character says that he won't), you've ample reason to be giddy. It's good to see the latest round of upcoming stars (LeBron, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo, Howard, etc.,etc.) living up to their potential. Good sign of the times for the NBA. And if Darko keeps it up, you'll even more giddiness.

Mavs beat Raptors for 11 wins in a row.

Utah beats the Spurs to put the Mavs into first place in the division - unbelievably.

Detroit at Miami and Utah at Lakers should be entertaining tonight.

Darko just needed a chance to get some minutes. I can't believe it's not even 20 games in and I'm thinking NBA Finals already where before the season started I was hoping for the 8th seed.

The Mavs are such a scary team right now. Notwitzki has to be one of the best players in the league...a 7 footer that can dribble and shoot like a guard?...he's a freak of nature.

I'm going to watch snips of the Detroit / Miami game tonight but I have a feeling the NFL is going to steal my attention. This is the last week of my fantasy football regular season and I have too much on the line to not watch tonight's game.

I love Yao but I kinda hate McGrady now for understandable reasons....so I'm very torn on whether or not I want Houston to do well.

January 23rd, Orlando and Dallas meet. We'll see if both teams keep up this tempo. Honestly, I think most people expected Dallas to turn over that awful start and clamp down. They excel at winning games and Dirk is just rediculous. Some of his shots just shouldn't go in. They just gravitate to the basket and swoosh right in. He takes a ton of off-balance and quick-grab shots. I would have never thought Orlando would be playing at this level right now however.

Kobe was a freaking monster last night. I could only laugh during his 30 point 3rd quarter. It was eye popping.

Thanks to the Mamba and a great bounce back game (after a cruddy showing v. Memphis at home), Nuggets only a game back in the loss column of Utah. Melo: 35,8,4 - great showing again, this time the rest of the team (well, remaining team

) showed as well. Eddie Nah-HAIR-ah (as I love to hear the PA guy inflect) 14 pts, 11 boards; Reggie Evans (discoverer of the Kaman Islands); 8 pts (all off of put backs, I imagine), 16 boards - and they kept KG in relative check (21, 11).

Aberration or window to rest of season?
