Give a cheer for Golden Tech!

Great first weekend.

Its awesome that the Warriors, Nets, and Nugs all won the openers. Say what you will about Baron Davis’ proclivity for injuries, but put him in a seven game series and look out. Nellie’s ‘so crazy it might just work’ game strategies appear to be messin with the astute Mr. Johnson. The old master still has some wisdom to impart to his student. Dirk is gonna go nutso next game.

I think the Bulls look great. Luol Deng is certainly doing the coming out party thing---but as been true all year, it is the team execution that separates Chicago. Miami has its hands full.

And what’s up with Denver? Everybody is talking about Melo and Iverson, but that back line of Camby and Nene is big time on the defensive end. This is an awesome series.

The Ko-bster showed his colors early, blaming his team mates for his poor showing in the second half. Ask if he was fatigued, Kobe said: "No, I was fine. I was fine. We didn't execute like we did in that first half, so my touches became a lot harder." Asked the same question, Nash said he didn't know if Bryant wore down, "but certainly it's not easy to go kind of one-on-one that long."

Houston looks real good. What is up with Boozer, Okhur and Kirilenko going 7-34? That is a losing formula.

Hope Bron’s ankle is fine.
