Worthy of Your Attention

by Marcel Mutoni

Milwaukee @ Cleveland: Mo Williams says there’s nothing but love between him and his former team, who incidentally, is visiting Cleveland tonight.

”All of my memories there are great. The organization’s been nothing but great to me,” Williams said. ”I have nothing but respect for the organization. They gave me my contract, and you never bite the hand that feeds [you].”

According to my spider-sense, however, Mo will have a rather big night despite his claims.

Utah @ Philly: Mehmet Okur had to bolt out of the country yesterday and attend to an urgent family matter back home in Turkey. Here’s to hoping that everything is fine with the smooth-shooting Mehmet.

That sound you hear? It’s the sound of the Sixers’ bandwagon coming to a screeching halt. Yes, of course it’s early in the season, but last in the division (sharing that dubious honor with the Nets) is never a good look. Time to get it together, gentlemen.

Atlanta @ Chicago: The Hawks are undefeated. The Hawks are undefeated. The Hawks are undefeated…Nope, still doesn’t seem right, does it?

I’m kidding, of course, the Atlanta Hawks have been terrific so far this season. But now, without the services of Mr. Do-it-all Josh Smith, the task just got that much harder for the young ATLiens.

LA Lakers @ Dallas: Speaking of undefeated, the Lakeshow will look to improve their record to 6-0, as they pay a visit to Dirk and ‘em. Nowitzki sent a not-so-subtle message to his teammates to pick their games up, and there would be no better time to answer their leader’s call than tonight.

    BET, you gonna go check out the boys from Denver, tonight?

  • Peter Robert Casey Posted: Nov.11 at 12:15 pm
    Hawks and Lakers will remain undefeated after tonight. Cleveland is going to mop Milwaukee. Philly/Utah should be a good contest.

    tell dirk to repeat that to himself come the fourth quarter.

  • TADOne Posted: Nov.11 at 12:26 pm

    When Kobe plays in Dallas, magic happens.

    My boys in Cleveland gonna take care of business

  • Young C Posted: Nov.11 at 1:19 pm
    Reasons why the Sixers should win: 1)Deron Williams is out.2)Okur is out. 3)The Sixers are at home. 4)The Sixers had four days between games. 5)Kyle Korver’s high-socks are back in town

    hello Cleveland!

  • Mo Charlo Posted: Nov.11 at 1:40 pm
    the thing is, even if the mavs play hard, they still can’t beat the Lakers.

  • witness Posted: Nov.11 at 2:26 pm
    korver should light these guys up for a career high!

  • Kid Presto Posted: Nov.11 at 2:58 pm
    So my boy Deron is coming back next week? My fantasy team is suffering.

  • Moose Posted: Nov.11 at 3:21 pm
    Mark your calenders! Hawks @ Celtics tomorrow night!

  • The Promise Posted: Nov.11 at 3:45 pm
    Personally, Im kinda interested in tommorrow nights game between Phoenix and Houston.

  • witness Posted: Nov.11 at 4:07 pm
    cosign promise.

  • Johnny Posted: Nov.11 at 4:42 pm
    that heat/blazer game got me hook line and sinker for tomorrow night

    About the KG vs Jose ‘incident’ yesterday (I can’t believe there’s no post about it here) I was happy that Jose went back at him. It went on a little too long, but really whats the gig deal? I think it has more to do with Kg 9and the celts) newfound status and media attention as Champs in a big (and sport-hungry) media market. I clearly remember when KG was back in ‘Sota he REALLY went after Timmy. KG was centimeters from Timmy’s face repeating “F@ck you N*gga!” like 15 times and it wasn’t after a hard foul or anything, kinda just out of nowhere. I LOVE KG, don’t get me wrong. And although I don’t think this kinda stuff is a huge deal, KG definitely gets more rope than Artest or Rodman, but thats (partially) because he’s never let it escalate any further and (partially) because the refs and players KNOW KG is a little bit “out there”. It really is just a mind game though.

    You guys are crazy. Lakers-Hornets will be the best matchup tomorrow night. Very good chance these two will be playing in the Western Conference Finals at the end of the year.

  • ciolkstar Posted: Nov.11 at 6:18 pm
    Iguodala has been terrible. Andre Miller too(Does anyone in the L shoot more airballs from less than 10 ft away?) he looks like he got old fast and people are just sagging off Iguodala. That team just sunk A LOT of money into two extremely flawed players (Brand isn’t atheletic enough to overcome his lack of size/reach and Iggy just can’t shoot or find his role in their offense) I say give the keys to Thad, he’s clearly their future and if given the minutes I think he’d easily be their top scorer. Louis Willimas needs some more minutes too, he looks like he’s rushing when he comes in b/c he knows he doesn’y have long. its time to phase Andre out…

  • DD Posted: Nov.11 at 6:54 pm
    sixers need shooters, andre miller is obviously not capable of hitting shots at the moment. They should try to get gordon next year, he can shoot and he would fit into their rotation. that would give sixer three reliable scorers brand, gordon, igoudala (most of the time).

    Denver won!

  • tealish Posted: Nov.12 at 12:50 am
    I don’t like this Horford fellow, but man he was beasting tonight. Iverson played well too but the Pistons really had to hang on to win in Sac. I still don’t know what to think about their new make-up. Has Sheed always been this apathetic on the offensive end? Rip is struggling mightily as well… I also don’t know if this 3 guard attack is what they should go to…
    Yes.. lots of questions following the arrival of the answer…

  • tealish Posted: Nov.12 at 12:51 am
    I did have a professor tell me once, that a good answer brings about even more questions… It probably doesn’t apply here though…

  • Anton Posted: Nov.12 at 2:30 am
    maybe questions are his teammates…which he makes better, so they become vague answers…but he is the one true Answer, answering all the questions…so the answer to any and all questions is “Allen Iverson”.
    Q: “how will this new 3 guard attack fair against the Laker’s big post players?”
    A: “Allen Iverson”
    “umm..what? you can’t just insert the name of a player and answer my question like that, what are the Pistons gonna do?
    “Allen Iverson”
    “do you like cake?
    “Allen Iverson”

    LakeShow!!!

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Nov.12 at 3:49 am
    How the hell was Dirk Nowitzki ever the MVP???? Ridiculous.

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Nov.12 at 7:38 am
    I think it had something to do with him being really, really, really good the year he won. Least that’s what I heard.

  • Breeze Posted: Nov.12 at 1:56 pm
    thats true dirk should be a women volleyball player !!!

  • Breeze Posted: Nov.12 at 2:06 pm
    @tealish i really dont like horford either i think he stiff with no talent …but the opposing team lacks front court defense…as for the pistons i think its gonna be awile for them to be in-tacked but i think ai the answer = cancer and they will struggle…

  • NBA-JERSEY-KING Posted: Nov.12 at 5:46 pm
    Miami vs Portland!!!

  • ballinpro24 Posted: Nov.13 at 12:54 am
    GO LAKERS!!! STILL UNDEAFEATED!!! Going all the way! There is no beach deeper in the NBA than the Lakers. For all you Celtic Fans yeah not even you. You guys kicked Posey to the curb and haven’t replaced him with anyone decent.

  • Anton Posted: Nov.13 at 1:07 am
    actually, the Big Ticket counts as 6 players so they’ll go as deep as Tory Lane can deepthroat it
