What I saw was LeBron James having his way with the Bobcats like they were handcuffed to a bed, and he was fresh out of prison. Like Rob mentioned, the only Bobcat who seemed to do something about all of this was Jason Richardson who had 24, only to be outscored by...not LeBron, but Daniel "Boobie" Gibson. He can do that to you every once in a while. When he's hot, he's hot. Boobie actually played more than LeBron in this game. LeBron only had 22 points in 30 minutes of work. With all the help (Mo Williams also had 17), LeBron had fun sittin on the bench after throwin down nasty dunks like he was back in High School.




What I saw was Chris Paul establish himself as the best fuggin PG in the Association. CP3 finished with a measley 20 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds. Man, this guy is going to be the next Jason Kidd (statistically that is), and with how the Hornets looked tonight, will be more successful than JKidd in terms of championships. Newly acquired James Posey looked solid with 13, Mo-Pete finished with 21, All-Star David West had 18, and Peja Stojakovic (oh theres where he went) dropped 20 including 3 threes before leaving the game in the 4th with a sprained ankle. Can the Hornets come out of the West?




What I saw was the Rockets looking DAMN GOOD. Yao played like a monster dropping 30 and 13 like the best center (in my opinion) in the league. Lets hope he can stay healthy.  Yao almost had to beat some Josh Howard ass. Luckily Ron Artest stepped in before something bigger almost happened (how ironic). Bullshit when Ron Ron picked up a technical for breaking up the scuffle. I agree with Chuck and Reggie. If it was anyone else who broke it up, nothing wouldve happened, but it was Ron Artest, and he has a rep. T-Mac struggled going 3/10 but going 10/11 from the line totaling 16 points. Ron Artest was the real hero scoring 29, and 7 in a decisive run that secured the Rockets' win. Rockets look like theyre foreal. Ive said it before and I'll say it again. The West is stacked more than than a sitting Vida Guerra. Gaaaaaahd damn.

Yesssss. The Lakers finally extended Bynum. Its not really what I wanted, as I wanted Bynum on the Lakers for a bit longer (4 years is nothing. Dude just turned 21), but it's easy on the Lakers' checkbook. This deal will give him about $14 Mil a year, and the 4th year worth about $16 Mil. Very lucrative for Bynum, and it gives him time to develop and earn that FAT paycheck I know he wants. IMO, in 4 years, this guy is gonna be one of the elite centers in the League. He said he'd let his game for itself, and he'd get what he deserves, and he got it. He's averaging 10 Points and 6 Rebounds so far in 2 games, which is why he didnt get the $80 Mil he wanted. Step it up Bynum, we know you can do it!
