Around the NBA (5)

1. Sonics got their first win of the season by taking down the Lakers in Seattle. The Sonics also revealed their 40th anniversary team.
2. Chris Paul is phenomenal. I enjoy watching this kid play basketball. Paul was good at Wake Forest but I never thought he would make the NBA leap in such a short time. I was wrong. Paul had 10 points and 10 assists by halftime against the Rockets.
3. Speaking of the Rockets, T-Mac can't buy a bucket. His shooting is really struggling and it is disappointing to see him like this especially when he's healthy again. Yao Ming was contained with foul trouble and the Rockets lost to NOK Hornets.
4. Is AI for real? He cranked out Player of the Week honors with his play. Philly won't be a pushover as long as Iverson continues to carry the team.
