Hump Day NBA Round Up #1

Since Beemer's got the "Throwback Tuesday" on lock, I figured that I'd make your Hump Days a little easier (at least those of you who are massive NBA fans).

The Season officially started on October 27, which makes it just over one week old, the perfect time to pass ultimate judgment upon the big names and big teams.

LeBron James, despite the Cavs slow start, is a monstrous defensive player at times. Everyone knows he can and will score in bunches, but his defensive game is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was when they went to the Finals.



His game is at the point, now, where dominating anyone short of Kobe is like child's play to him.

Speaking of child's play, Dwight "Superman" Howard fouled out in 16 minutes of play last night against a Pistons frontcourt consisting of...Ben Wallace and Kwame Brown. That's right, Ben "Career 6.2 points per game" Wallace and Kwame "Worst #1 Pick of this Millenium" Brown. All seems to be well in Dwight-Land as he dominated the previously-unbeaten Suns tonight. The Magic are so good right now that they can beat STAT and Captain Canada by 22 points without Rashard Lewis or a healthy Vince Carter. Does anyone else think that the road to the finals for Cleveland or Boston may not make it through Orlando?

In the West, the Lakers are playing well thus far, although recent reports have them locked in a tight one with the always-scrappy Houston Rockets. Carmelo Anthony is playing out of his mind so far, and if the season ended today (t'would be a pretty bad season), he would win the MVP in a landslide.

No NBA Round Up would be complete for me if it didn't mention my beloved Chicago Bulls, who have come out...flat and still have a 2-2 record. Luol Deng (formerly known as "Fucking Luol Deng") has played the best basketball I've ever seen him play, which is fortunate for Vinny Del Negro's squad, as John Salmons and Derrick Rose have been off so far this year.

Player of the Week- Carmelo Anthony, Nuggets.
Rookie of the Week- Brandon Jennings, Bucks.
Team of the Week- Boston Celtics. (6-0)
Team of the Weak- New Jersey Nets. (0-5)

Until next week (hopefully), this has been your Hump Day NBA Round Up.

lol I didn't, I was saying that the Magic can still beat the Suns without Rashard or VC. Dwight beats lesser teams on his own.
