^Awesome! Thanks for the work there. Formatting could be better I guess, but it works fine given the amountt of info.

Edit: Ugh, seeing how this ended up getting formatted, I think I'll just leave off the back-up stats (lists of players at each of these 10 schools, their teams and salaries) unless folks are interested in seeing it. Just let me know.

How's this?? Key is to use code and /code and then Preview Post and make adjustments.

Big game tonight on TNT...8:00 tip-off for JJ and Duhon with the Magic, up against the Wizards with Arenas and John Wall. Should be a pretty good game!

At least for the Magic. There's a good chance that the Wizards have the inside track to the Harrison Barnes lottery next year.

Watching the Magic/former Bullets reminds me of why I dislike nba...it's just not a fun game to watch. Feed the ball in. Feed the ball in. Feed the ball in. Watch Nelson and the half-man/half-retired take shots that they're never shy about taking. It's not helped either when the Magic are still actively not looking to pass to JJ (though he missed at least 2 shots while I've watched that he should hit, he's only gotten 4 attempts). Chris isn't looking too crisp right now either. Hopefully things will improve for both.

I was the one that scripted the devils in the NBA page! You can find it here: http://huckleberry.mhc.edu/devilStats.html

It updates after the games are done every night, not real-time. Bookmark it so you can check out how our Dukies are doing!

thanks man...it's on my bookmarks bar...

Boy, Grant Hill looks great, physically. He just got called for stepping out of bounds, but he kind of casually finished his baseline drive by taking off from outside the lane and throwing it down. He's like Benjamin Button or something.

Thanks for the reformatting advice, sagegrouse. Below is the back-up to my analysis on my prior post. Kind of fun to take a little trip down recent memory lane with some of these names.

By the way, the answer to the trivia question I posed in my prior post is that the Blazers (LaMarcus Aldridge) and Jazz (Earl Watson) are the two NBA teams with only one player on their opening day rosters who attended one of the NBA's 10 largest feeder schools.

Pretty sure I read that his coach's daughter calls him that.

That's pretty funny...I've really enjoyed watching Grant's resurgence since he got healthy. Wish the Suns were still looking like a legit title contender these days.

"I really do feel young," said Hill, nicknamed "Benjamin Button" by coach Alvin Gentry's daughter, Alexis. "I feel like people have been waiting for me to slow down. I don't feel like I'm slowing down at all. I enjoy the game and competing. I enjoy the brotherhood. I enjoy that I can still do it, be competitive and get the better of matchups at times to help this team."

Chris isn't looking too crisp right now either. Hopefully things will improve for both.

I thought Chris did a nice job, had two fantastic pick and roll assists to Gortat and had some nice takes to the hoops. In 19 minutes he was 3/3 from the field. Certainly looked better than Jason Williams as that's his competition for backup PG.

J.J. did what he's supposed to do. His defense is really sharp as it seemed like any time his man went up for a shot J.J. was right on him contesting it. He had a really nice drive to the basket in the first half that was very assertive. He needs to get more shots up to get into a rhythm from downtown. Pietrus had 8 points to J.J.'s 2 but also had 9 shot attemps to J.J.'s 4. Same thing with Ryan Anderson who took 8 shots (0-3 from 3 pt) and ended with 6 points. J.J. also played more minutes than those two but 1.) they don't look to get him the ball much, 2.) There's probably times where he could be more asserive looking for his shot, and 3.) he has a role to play which is spell the starters, provide solid defense, hustle, and get the ball to the playmakers in a position for them to score.

Well, the sad irony is that Grant went to Phoenix to try and get a ring. The Orlando fans were really mad that he left after earning full salary for six years but missing nearly 300 game with his injuries. And if Grant had remained in Orlando, he might have gotten a ring.

Edit: In the future, I'll keep my mouth shut, haha. At least 'til after the game.

Hopefully Redick is fine!

That was a nice looking Halloween style blood gusher he had below his eye. Full on Lebron elbow...ouch.

[CameronBornAndBred]

JJ lives, but the Magic are getting the stuffing beaten out of them. Down 20 in the third.

[DukieInBrasil]

Shel's off to a good start out West, consecutive strong outings on the glass along with 8 pts each night. McRoberts has been on fire from the field but Dunleavy has not shot very well yet. Maggette has also played well so far. I've been pleased that Brand has started off much quicker this year than last year.
Overall, teams with Duke alum have a losing record (5-12) with one game in progress. No team has a winning record, though several are 1-1.

[SilkyJ]

Grant having a great night in Phoenix: 20-5-5 heading into the 4th quarter.

Silky "Some NBA games are not fun to watch, but these two teams are" J

Edit: We have a Josh Childress sighting. The former Stanford grad that elected to play in Greece for 3 (?) years is now back in the NBA on the Suns...backing up Grant, along with Jared Dudley.

[SilkyJ]

Interesting side-note: Rondo had 24 assists tonight. Yes, 24. No seriously, 24 of them.

I think after last year's playoffs most people had him as the 3rd best PG in the league behind CP3 and Deron Williams, and ahead of guys like Nash, Rose, and Westbrook. I find that interesting b/c while he thrives in the NBA, his game simply isn't suited for the international game and he couldn't make the USA "B-Team" this past year.

Not really trying to imply or say anything, just an interesting observation, imo, b/c I would still call him a top 3 or 5 PG in the NBA.

[Orange&BlackSheep]

JJ lives, but the Magic are getting the stuffing beaten out of them. Down 20 in the third.

JJ finished the game with a +/- of +1 in a game they got drilled in. Vince Carter? -26 in 14 minutes of action. Holy BeJeezus.
