NBA notes - 11/27/2006

Just like I had expected, the Warriors not only play the Spurs tough, they actually hand them their first road loss of the season. They probably have two of the best young players in the league not named Dwight Howard. Andris Biedrins and Monta Ellis. Andris is really quick, tall, athletic and has great hands for a big man. He blocks a lots of shots already at this young age and he frequently has high-teen numbers for points and rebounds. Tonight against the Spurs and Timmy, he had 18 and 15 with 6 blocks. Thats all-star numbers folks! Monta is another great young player who is lightning quick and is a very good shooter already. Watch out for these 2 players over the next few years. They are the reason the Warriors are beating the Spurs and the Jazz of the world even without Baron Davis.

Speaking of Dwight Howard, the Magic beat the Jazz today and are 11-4. I think they are for real especially with Grant Hill playing well and providing some leadership to the young guys. Great story. AI had 40+ (45) again today and still lost to Wade (33/7/13) and the Heat. Some of Wade's moves tonight were RIDICULOUS. Even Sportscenter couldn't keep it out of their top-10.

Orlando @ Utah - 88-75
San Antonio @ Golden State - 102-111

Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the 28-th (Tuesday)

LA Clippers @ Sacramento - Not great games tomorrow. This one might be mildly amusing for Pacific division fans.
