    Looks like an interesting line-up of games from evening to night, with a double-header TNT games. Enjoy...
    *All games are ET

    Nets @ Magic, 7PM
    Spurs @ Rockets
    Mavs @ Thunders, 8PM - (TNT)
    Bulls @ Kings, 10PM
    Nuggets @ T-Blazers, 10PM
    Knicks @ Lakers, 10:30PM - (TNT)

    Keys/predictions to some games :
    - Is Nets still after DHoward12? (Magic to win the game)
    - HOUSTON first home [opener] game. Texas- rivalries. (Go ROCKETS)
    - WCF last year in the playoffs (Thunders look like to be on the top of the ladder early with 4 wins)
    - T-Evans against the "MVP" last season [Derrick Rose] (Bulls will take the win easily)
    - Rudy Fernandez return to Portland. (should be a close game: Division rivary)
    - Carmelo Anthony and crew against Kobe Bryant [Battle of NBA All-Stars]. (Close game but I'd take LA to win by 6pts)

    Wouldn't surprise me if the the Blazers and Nuggets battle it out for the #4 seed this season.

    I love this condensed season. Every night seems like it has a couple games I'd like to watch.

    I wouldn't put a dime on the Rockets because the Spurs are in the groove of one of their hot starts. Hope I'm wrong but this is the worst possible time to play the Spurs.

    I expect Dallas to raise their game and beat OKC. If they can't bring a good game tonight, stick a fork in 'em.

    Anyone watching the Magic game? Marshon Brooks aka Young Kobe sparked a comeback.

    Lamar Odom was very hot from long range during the preseason which killed his shot selection in the first two games and so far today. :grin:

    What is Russell Westbrook doing? He's a turnover machine.

    He is killing the Thunder so far, but I think he's slowly starting to get it. OKC is fortunate KD and Harden are playing at such a high level.

    It seems every year people talk about how he's young and he will mature. He just doesn't seem like a high IQ player to me.
