I guess Howard didn't break the Magics scoring record. He'll have to do it next game.

Speaking of Howard and Ama're/Melo in my previous post:

Stephen A talking about Amar'e's lack of aggressiveness and how Magic could offer Dwight for Tyson and STAT.

Tonight on NBA TV is a playoff rematch. Pacers @ Bulls at 8 pm.

Deng is out but Rose is back.

Butler is on fire. He has all 11 points for LAC early on.

Later tonight on TNT BG vs Love, again. Last time these teams played Love hit a 3 point to win.

EDIT Wow, I totally misread that. I confused Memphis for Minnesota. It's the Grizz vs the Clippers.

Cs were down 20 some odd points and now they are within 4 of the Magic.

Nice little comeback for the Nuggets against LAC.

I guess I'll post this in here as well.

All Star Starters announced:

Eastern Conference

F -- Carmelo Anthony, New York

F -- LeBron James, Miami

C -- Dwight Howard, Orlando

G -- Derrick Rose, Chicago

G -- Dwyane Wade, Miami

Western Conference

F -- Blake Griffin, L.A. Clippers

F -- Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City

C -- Andrew Bynum, L.A. Lakers

G -- Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers

G -- Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers

Not sure why Love didn't make it over BG or Bosh over Melo but that's what happens when fans vote.

BG wanted to Mozgov Mozgov again but instead was fouled hard.

Big road W for the Lakers last night. We play @Utah tonight, which is always a tough game.

I hope we sign JR Smith when he becomes available on Feb. 15, could be our missing piece.

KG with a good shooting day.

Jeremy Lin got his 1st start of his career tonight. Coming off the impressive outing against NJ he didn't disappoint. He finished with 28 points (10-17) and 8 assists. He also was a pest on defense. He did have 8 turnovers and I believe they were all in the second half. Not saying he is as good as Nash but his style of play reminds me a lot of Nash. He runs off screens looking for pick and rolls. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses with NY.

Monta Ellis is pretty good, he had 48 tonight vs OKC, If Kemba can develop anything similar to him!:drool5:

Didn't get to see Lin tonight like I did a couple days ago but he had another good night. Had 23 points and 10 assists and did much better in the TO department with only 2. Wonder how the dynamic will change when Melo and STAT get back.
