NBA Tips Off

I wondered how long it would take for D-Will to make a splash in Utah. I didn't have to wait longer than the season opener against the Mavs. Sure the rook played the entire 4th en route to a 11-point win, sure he didn't seem to have too hard of a time adjusting to the longer arc: he nailed 3/4 from outside. Sure he debuted with 18 pts, 2nd only to bigman Okur. But what caught my eye? A shot he made inside the 3-point line. The opponent's 3-point line! A 61-footer at the 3rd quarter buzzer, cutting the deficit to 2.

Around the Horn to Chicago where the Bulls come back from down 6 with 40 secs to take it to free basketball and pull of a win for the hometown crowd. Be careful. Chicago's not used to this much winning.

Is it to early to say Spurs d. Mavs, Heat d. Pistons, Spurs d. Heat. Lebron for MVP. You heard it here first folks.
