NBA notes - 12/03/2006

The Eastern conference continues to get its head beaten to pulp by the Western conference. There were two games on the schedule today that were interesting to me purely from that perspective. Minnesota @ Philadelphia which matched up 2 bad teams from their respective conferences. The other one was Orlando @ Clippers which matched up one of the Eastern elite against a decent, but mediocre Western team. The West won both easily proving once again that East sucks. At-least Atlanta didn't lose to Portland I guess :-)

Elton Brand took care of the Magic with 31 points on 12-14 shooting. Charlotte upset Detroit to end their 8 game winning streak. The Bobcats have also beaten Cleveland and San Antonio this season. They seem to be the giant killers. Atlanta beat Portland behind Joe Johnson's (33-6-6). He is a terrific talent. Lets see how far he can take the Hawks in a year or two.

Orlando @ LA Clippers – 91-116

Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 4-rd (Monday)

Golden State @ San Antonio - The Spurs have been shaky at home and Golden State always seem to be in games, but lose at the end.

Dallas @ Washington - Gilbert Arenas is dominant at home and so are the Wizards. Can they handle a red-hot Dallas team?

Orlando @ Sacramento - Orlando tries to win against another decent Western conference team. Lets see if they can win this one.
