Watching this 2nd overtime at NY @ ATL. All Melo does is shoot jumpshots
contested incredibly difficult jumpers.

but he makes a crazy percentage of them.

And better him shooting them than Brandon Jennings or Joachim Noah, who are also on the court.

once KP goes out I think NYKs best offense is probably just Melo taking insanely difficult ISOs. Thats how poorly that roster is constructed.

Freaking Courtney Lee. I never see you do that when you were with Boston.

Making me lose money with that 3. Now I need 3OT or an ATL 3-pointer to cover my teaser.

@Monkhouse

If they do not make the playoffs, the signings of Rondo and Wade this summer will look silly.

I'd argue they look really silly regardless. Wade? Maybe I can see it. Rondo? No clue what they were thinking.
I think the Rondo and Wade signings were all upper management moves to squeeze as much money out of this season as possible before a full rebuild. Signing Rondo and Wade set them back as much as 2-3 years of rebuilding because they really had the chance to bottom out this year and get their hands on a top 5 draft pick in this incredibly strong draft, all while developing their young guys like Portis and Mr. Dougie McBuckets.

I realistically expected something like this happening, remember the whole Wade-Rondo elbow situation in the playoffs vs. the Heat? If Rondo is anything, he is vindictive.

Raps went from being up by 9 after first Q against the magic, to being down by 9 at the half. would awesome if they can hold on

Orlando up 9 at halftime over Toronto! That'd be a major win for our hopes for the 2nd seed going into the All Star break and having Brad coach the East All Stars!

Watching Noel, it's clear that he has significantly improved his offensive abilities. Though still limited offensively, this year he's finishing at an elite level with much better hands, and his jumpshot and passing have both tremendously improved.

Old friend Sully being exposed in Toronto with his PnR defense. DJ Augustin for Orlando going off.

Didn't we play a 4OT game in Denver a few years back? During that season where they were almost undefeated at home

Edit: Nope, that was 3OT.  4 is just ridiculous

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo: There was actually a 4OT game last season (Pistons @ Bulls), but before that you have to go to 2012 (Utah @ Atlanta)
