- Professional basketball—that’s the kind where they put the ball through the hoop a whole lot—is in full swing, though this past Thursday’s Knicks-Nets opener was cancelled due to Sandy. Poor Brooklyn opened things up against Toronto on Saturday and won. The question is, where did the shirts made in honor of that nonexistent game go?- Even with their insane win Sunday, the Lakers were having a hard time adjusting to coach Mike Brown’s Princeton offense. And that was before Steve Nash got hurt. It's a little early for Lakers fans to panic, but it's not too early for people who hate the Lakers to start pointing and laughing.- James Harden 35-points-per-game average in his first few games is reminiscent of his teammate Jeremy Lin's hot start last year with the Knicks. Like Lin, Harden won't keep this up, and like Lin, he's an awesome player. Unlike Lin, he has a beard I bet it would be fun to run my fingers through.
