1. Folks will disagree about that..Kobe is coming back after a long layoff so the expectation is he will be rusty. Players are hurt. Hard for  a  team to start this way and gel right away. Lot of pieces to put in place. I will tell you this kobe is a player and will play his heart out. They will play much better give it sometime.

2. Agree

3. Charlotte needed to wake up and glad they did in the 2nd half. Bucks got guys who can score but d not so. Better angle on them would be looking at the overs.

4. Not sold on Minn yet.

5. The Twins play, the more minutes they get the better they will be. The remind me of two old players who were not twins but had the same last name. The Davis boys who played with Miller in Indy.

Normally I would be all over the Knicks here but they have their own problems and adjustments they have to make, but they are not as bad as the Bulls made them look last night. Remember, the "public" has a short memory and teams are never as bad as they looked the last few games or as good as they looked the last few in the NBA (except for the Lakers, who are atrocious).

HUGE lookahead for Cleveland tonight. Who's on deck for them at home tomorrow? How about the CHICAGO BULLS (who I will be betting on almost certainly so long as they aren't laying more than 3). That being said, the fact that this is LeBron's first home game back and Love's first home game there is making me think that a PASS here is the best play. LeBron and Love will have some initial growing pains just like LeBron did with Wade and Bosh, and CLE has to add in a new offense that is very different with Blatt than in past years, but 12.5 is a lot of points in the NBA. You know Carmelo will bring it tonight but it may not matter.

Gun to my head I'd take the Knicks and the points and hope they backdoor this in the 4th.
