First Impressions

The NBA season is officially underway (unless you live in Chicago or Milwaukee).

;

After several hours parked in front of the NBA League Pass for the past two days, it’s time for some first impressions.

;

The Good

;

Ty Lawson

;

How good was he last night? I predicted the Denver Nuggets to be the third best team in the West this season, and that was assuming that Ty Lawson would play like a rookie point guard.

But his 17 points, six assists, and four rebounds, plus very solid fourth quarter minutes in a close game against a decent Utah team, shows that he may be a real X factor for this team moving forward.

;

Brook Lopez

;

Lopez was a monster last night, finishing with 27 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks, and four assists. Of course, the Nets lost, mainly because they couldn’t hold off the mighty T’Wolves down the stretch, but it certainly wasn’t because of Lopez.

Thunder beat Pacers

Last night, the Thunder beat the Pacers, keeping the 8th spot in the playoffs. ; ;

OKC only trailed once 37-36. But, that lasted for less than a minute. ; They built an 18 point lead in the third quarter. ; Then, Troy Murphy went on a little run and cut it to 10 at quarter's end. Then, they managed to tie it in the 4th. ; But, Durant couldn't be stopped and there were no second chances for the Pacers.

The offense never seemed to get going. ; When Durant was in the game, the offense scored of course. ; But, there still wasnt a flow at times. ; ; The Thunder would be a lead and then substitute and the lead would start to erase. ; Brooks is doing a good job of getting his players experience when he can. ; Maynor played quite a bit at times. ; He looks like a rookie. He went 0 for 3 from the floor. ; All three shots were really turn overs. ; He would penetrate and have no where to go or pass it so he shot it. ; He is going to be a good player, but he just isnt there yet. ; He needs playing time and experience which is what Brooks is giving him. ; I don't know if he will be ready when playoff time comes. ;
