Boston's Big 3 played major minutes, showing heart and grit. If they keep it up over the regular season, they'll breakdown like last year. The bench contributed, though. Cleveland's offense degenerated to give the ball to LeBron. There's no chemistry and the Cavs miss Delonte West and Coach Kuester.

Washington 102 @ Dallas 91

Dallas didn't defend like Carlisle wanted. Washington played solid at both ends of the court to get a solid road victory over a quality team. If they keep this up and stay healthy, Dallas should win 50 games.

Houston 87 @ Portland 96

Houston was missing Yao, McGrady, and Artest. They made the score look respectable, but Portland was in control with a deeper and bigger lineup than last year's.

LAC 92 @ LAL 99

The Lakers got their rings tonight. There were some lapses against the Clippers, who played hard, but the Lakers kept the Clippers at arm's length. Hopefully, the Clippers don't quit before Griffin comes back from his injury.
