Suns vs Nuggets – The Remarkable, Surprising Ride Continues
Sometimes it feels like the roles have changes between these teams. The Denver Nuggets aren’t horrendous like the Phoenix Suns were last season, but there’s nothing truly remarkable about them right now. The Suns? A year that should have been about rebuilding is turning into something very different, thanks to Jeff Hornacek on the sidelines and a bunch of mostly young players who didn’t read the memo about them supposedly tanking.

Timberwolves vs Lakers – Things Look Better Without Kobe Bryant
It might not make too much sense, but the Los Angeles Lakers are a better team when Kobe Bryant isn’t playing, which showed in their 104-91 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, getting big nights from Pau Gasol, Xavier Henry and Nick Young, while on the other end Kevin Love couldn’t make up for his teammates not being up for the challenge.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Absence Reveals the Worst in James Harden
If the Houston Rockets are going to succeed this season, it’s not going to be with the recipe of James Harden doing whatever he wants with the ball, while Dwight Howard fights from scraps, hoping to get noticed from time to time.

NBA Rumors – Philadelphia 76ers Trading Thaddeus Young
For a few weeks, it looked like the Philadelphia 76ers weren’t taking, but an awful series of losses made everyone realize that this team isn’t going anywhere but the lottery this season. Thaddeus Young isn’t planning on being part of a losing effort, and is asking to be traded.

NBA Rumors – Houston Rockets not Trading Omer Asik Anymore
It’s hard to say if this is an attempt to put some negotiation pressure or simply another try to make Omer Asik a legitimate part of the rotation. In any case, the Houston Rockets for now are taking the center off the table, and aren’t trading him, although that might change very quickly. It might also mean something about Jeremy Lin’s situation.

Spurs vs Warriors – Who Needs the big Three
Gregg Popovich didn’t like the fact that Tony Parker was sitting alone at home, nursing a bad ankle. So he gave Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili the night off, which didn’t really stop the San Antonio Spurs from beating the Golden State Warriors 104-102, as Tiago Splitter made the crucial tip in, a borderline goaltending violation, with only 2.1 seconds left.
