Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, are you kidding me? Through two games...

Davis: 47.5 ppg, 16 rpg, 4 apg, 3 bpg, 52% FG, 84% FT
Westbrook: 41.5 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 9.5 apg, 1 spg

Granted their teams have been decimated by injuries or roster moves, necessitating that kind of effort. But even so, WOW. (But yes, it's two games. These things will smooth out. But they are both going to put up big numbers all season.

I will withhold anti-Kings sh*t-talk until after tonight. If the Wolves win, I'll double down on it. If not, well, I suspect I may be quiet.

Along with Pistol Pete!

Anyone ever notice how Pistol Pete's career averages are nearly identical to Kobe's...

            Pts     Rebs    Assists   Steals  Blocks   FG%    3pt%     FT%
Kobe    25.0     5.2      4.7        1.4     0.5     44.7    32.9      83.7
Pistol   24.2     4.2      5.4        1.4     0.3     44.1     66.7*    82.0

*10-15 in final season

 LOL I'll spare you if KAT ends up hoisting the L. After all, I am a Knicks fan.

I'm not feeling very optimistic about tonight's game against Memphis. I noticed Zach Randolph put up 19pts 11rebs off the bench against the Wolves. Nice start for the potential sixth man. I'm a huge proponent of staggering rotations and always having one of your top 3 (if not top 2) players on the court at all times. Especially if your best players are predominately offensive players. There's only one ball after all. In regard to the Knicks, yes, I acknowledge/agree with all your points. In the end its going to come down to Hornacek (and injuries). As I've stated, I think our roster if utilized properly can be a good team, a playoff team. Admittedly, that's a huge "if" and game 1 was incredibly distressing as a result. Rose and Melo need to buy in. As far as I'm concerned, they are paid a hell of a lot of money to buy in. Meanwhile, I expect Rose to struggle fitting in for the foreseeable future. Can he and KP attempt a pick and roll tonight? That could be a dangerous combo. Also, Jennings should play much better at home tonight.

As an aside, I recently saw a Pop interview where he admitted having very little conviction when approaching Manu about coming off the bench. If Manu had objected he would have remained a starter. Pop hadn't told anyone this until the interview, which I believe occurred sometime after their last championship. Just thought that was an interesting tidbit...

One major difference between Pistol and Kobe: teams' winning percentages.

Z. Randolph looked really nice against us. I'll say one thing, he seemed to like Fizdale's offense: he was chucking shots from a bit further out with glee.

Randolph has had a much better career than I thought he would have. He had some pretty good stats when he was in Portland, although that was during the infamous "Jail-Blazers" years, and I figured that he'd eventually do something so stupid off the court that he would get cut and never play in the league again. A lot of his issues seemed to be off the court (even before he came to MSU, there were whispers about his maturity). After getting traded a few times and ending up in Memphis, he seemed to get his act together.

He has by all accounts been an amazing citizen in Memphis, too. I think there's a lesson in there: we expect some kind of ideal from our pro athletes, but in reality these are spoiled kids (often from awful circumstances) who then come into tremendous wealth at a young age. It's actually surprising more of them don't go off the rails. But a lot of them grow up, and Randolph seems to be one of those.

The Wolves lost in Sacramento last night, blowing another large lead. Glad I didn't stay up to watch it. Very disappointing way to start the season, 0-2.

Oh yeah, Randolph was a poster boy for what was purportedly wrong with the league back in the early to mid-00s, though a lot of that was because he was on, as Verlander said, the infamous "Jailblazers" along with Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, Bonzi Wells, Qyntel Woods, Darius Miles, Ruben Patterson. My favorite moment was somewhat magical, truly serendipitous, when they drafted Travis Outlaw. While he was by all accounts actually a really good kid, the name alone meant it simply had to be.

The reality from what I've gathered, though, is that Randolph was more just a follower as a young guy. Not especially bad, just kind of weak-willed.

Something of an unofficial NCAA kickoff tonight, with ESPN hosting a great doubleheader: Michigan State v Arizona and Indiana v Kansas. These are all Top 12 teams. We've got great freshmen on all of these teams, as well as some really good returning players. It's a shame that the talented wing Terrence Ferguson decided to play professionally in Australia rather than attend Arizona, as he may have been among the top wings--to say nothing of top freshmen--in the country. But this is a great couple of games.

Wizards just can't seem to get it together. Two years ago they seemed to be on the rise, but they just haven't held it together. Lots of injuries, suspect coaching, questionable roster management... I feel bad for the people of WDC. (Said the guy in Minneapolis...)

MSU forgot to play defense on the last play of the game. Having said that, by the time the middle to the end of the Big 10 season winds down, these guys are gonna be GOOD. Miles Bridges is already a stud. The one thing that may bite them is that they've got no big man; both bigs they were counting on are hurt, and who knows when they'll be back.

By having an NBA superstar surrounded by fringe guys. Jrue Holiday's absence and tyreke evans' injury don't help. When your starting backcourt is Tim Frazier and E'Twaun Moore...

Couple of great NCAA games tonight (Yes, I'm still using this thread for college. Such is life.), with Kentucky v Michigan State and Duke v Kansas. Should be phenomenal: there are almost certainly 20-25 future NBA players on these rosters. And without question there are more than that who will be future professionals at some level or in some league.

In the NBA, the Wolves host the Hornets. (I only just got used to saying Bobcats, and they're Hornets. Damn name changes.) Kemba Walker is playing at an all-star level, so it will be interesting to see whether and how we can keep him in check. I'll also be curious to see whether Wiggins keeps his hot streak going, as he had 47 the other night against LAL. Hopefully some of the guys who sat that game--Zach LaVine, Baz Muhammad, Brandon Rush--are playing. We're not winning without them. (Especially LaVine, who has really taken another leap.) I'm also hopeful that KAT exploits the relative weakness in the middle for Charlotte. Zeller, Hawes, etc., should get wrecked.
