Dallas is beginning to scare me. They won another big game today to start a new streak. They won at Utah behind Nowitzki's 38-7 and overcame a brilliant 13-19 shooting by Boozer who had 29 points. Nowitzki is doing things that true superstars do. Score, rebound, play inside on both ends of the floor and clutch-up. This Dallas team is championship good. Stack had a run-in with coach Sloan after being called for a flagrant foul. He got ejected after his second flagrant foul and also questioned Utah's dirty play.
Cavs beat the Kings on the road rather easily. King James was on fire. He had 34 points and Ron Artest's defense seemed to have no effect. His jumper was on today and when it's on, it's going to be hard for anybody to defend him. Also I think Ron Artest is not as good as he used to be. May be he is just not playing hard enough anymore.
Suns won easily again. Nashty had 27 and 11 with Marion having a monster game with 29-14. James Jones had another strong shooting night (4/5) and ended up with 10 points. It's interesting to see Amare in this offense. He doesn't seem to get a whole lot of touches. Nash seems to be scoring a lot more (and he should) than people expected at the start of the season. Hopefully Amare is happy with his role with the wins piling up. He is still averaging 17-9 and it'll only go up as we go deeper into the season. He averaged 26-9 in 04-05. It would be interesting to see if he makes the all-star team. Marion and Nash should be locks though.
Lakers lost 118-128 to the Grizzlies. Kobe had a great spin move and dunk, but they couldn't outscore the Grizz. This is the new development in the league. There's another team running and gunning like the Phoenix Suns and thats Memphis! Ever since they fired Mike Fratello, the new coach is re-shaping the team and is playing the fun style. Actually they are averaging even more than the Suns in the last 4 or 5 games. It's good to see more converts to this style. Now we got the Suns, Denver, Warriors, Washington, Nets and Memphis. I might be missing some teams too.
Dallas @ Utah - 108-105
Cleveland @ Sacramento - 108-98
Interesting games on the board for the Jan 10-th (Wednesday)
Chicago @ Washington - Should be a good Eastern conference match-up.
LA Lakers @ Houston - Kobe VS T-Mac. Lets see who comes out on top.
Orlando @ Golden State - Dwight Howard and gang on the road here against the Warriors.
