http://www.nba.com/video/games/nets/2012/10/18/0011200070-bos-bkn-play1.nba Boston looks really good. Defense is there as always and having Lee/Terry really helps the offense. Much more flow, especially with more fast breaks (courtesy of Courtney Lee).
Hornets with a top 5 pick this year? Lookin like complete trash and I don't think Davis can change that in a year. Imagine them pairing up Davis with Noel, Zeller, Parker or Shabazz.
I think Donatas is very naturally mobile / quick, but Valanciunas certainly moves more and moves with more purpose. He plays with so much more energy. He has the same problem with lower body strength like Donatas so he won't be perfect right away, but he just tries to do the best he can do, and even if he gets owned, he just tries harder on the next play. + athleticism and those tentacles that Jonas has for arms... That said, I'm hopeful for Donatas, he played with more energy in Poland than right now. Besides, as far as away from the basket skills, Donatas is much further ahead.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA now Y! Sources: Dwight Howard cleared to make Los Angeles Lakers debut tonight against Sacramento
Watching Laker-Kings on my NBA LP. So far in 1st Q, Lakers look really solid with D12 in the lineup, nothing like their previous five losses. But they still have serious chemistry issues...
A lot of rust for Howard...Chemistry is getting there, but the Princeton w/ a decent elbow/ post presence is just alot of perimeter passing without threat. With Hill back, the Lakers don't have to always put Pau and Howard on. Lakers still suck at defending the three, though. That's gonna be their Achilles heel.
