-Is Kobe burnt out? For a player to average over 35 ppg to fall back down to 17 and then 18 in the past two games respectively, he may need some rest or one of Odom/Brown need to relieve some stress off of him. If the Lakers need Kobe to score 35+ to stay competitive, they're in a world of hurt over the stretch of 82 games.

-New York playing defense? I don't know if the players are starting to buy Brown's message or the injury of AK-47 helped out tremendously, but the Knickerbockers got their 2nd win in as many nights. It also looks as if Jamal Crawford is getting on Brown's good side as of late as well.

-Is there a better chemistry between two players than Jason Richardson and Baron Davis. I've counted at least 3, half-court set, alley-oops between the two as if it's their regular half-court style of play. Besides Nocioni though, the Bulls starting 5 were just flat out terrible and the Chandler/Songaila frontcourt just isn't working out.

Golden State and Memphis keep on keepin on.

Knickerbockers may be starting to warm up, or play defense anyway. Has to be a career high in blocks for Curry.
