Noteworthy: 11/16/2013

Rough night for the following:  Pacers, cause they were down by 25 at the half to the Bulls; not the best way to lose their first game of the season.

Glenn Rice Jr, cause he got a reminder of how good Kyrie Irving is at dribbling

(h/t to Hardwood Paroxysm))

For both JR Smith (3-18 from the field, 1-9 from the three) and the Knicks (1-5 record playing at Home after tonight's loss to the Hawks)



Nice one, guys:
3 Timberwolves scored 20+ tonight: KLove, KevMartin, and Nikola Pekovic (no combination of first&last name currently cleverly available).

Westbrook and Durant combined for at least 50 points for the 3rd game in a row but the big story was Serge Ibaka's 20 boards.

Chris Paul now has 10 consecutive games of 10+ points and 10+ assists to start the season tying John Stockton for the second most total in NBA history.

Nice Try, Ty: Lawson with a really nice 28 and 17 but Denver didn't have the lead even once as they loss in Houston to the Rockets.

Good to have you back: Ryan Anderson, made his season debut, and showed he can still shoot the rock, hitting 6 out of 10 threes, 10 of 14 total and racking up 26 points.

Other: After their overtime win tonight, I'm guessing that testy team meeting the Cavs had actually worked..Looks like Kobe is back at practice...Carmelo describing the Knicks season so far..Lamar Odom may be back in the NBA soon...in case you thought that Lebron stopped doing those chasedown blocks, he hasn't.
