    And we are a go. The Spurs, Rockets, and Jazz were all winners in the first night of NBA action.

    Player of the Night: Kobe Bryant (with a one night player rating of 13.6). That’s what 45 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and a block will do.

    Honorable mentions: Baron Davis (12.4), Yao Ming (10.3), Manu Ginobili (8.7), Andrei Kirilenko (8.2), Carlos Boozer (8.0), and Deron Williams (8.0).

    Not Quite Honorable Mentions, but guys who deserve the attention: LaMarcus Aldridge (5.5), Mickael Pietrus (5.2), Derek Fisher (4.8), Martell Webster (4.6), Paul Millsap (4.6), Ronnie Brewer (3.4), Joel Przybilla (3.3), and Mike James (2.8).

    All great games from everyone above, but congrats to anyone who took a risk on LaMarcus Aldridge – 27 points and a couple blocks on the night. I think he may have arrived.

    Goat of the Night: Mehmet Okur. What the hell was that? 0 for 4 from the field? Three rebounds? Thanks for the 3 turnovers though.

      Are we back to the times when AK was the man in Utah? 5 blocks is a lot of block. 3-10 hurts… but I’d take it for 9/9/8 and 5. I’m sure he won’t shoot 30% all season.

      Anybody watch the jazz game? Did Memo get hurt or benched? He didn’t play very many minutes

      From what i’ve read, okur got in foul trouble early. When Okur got back out on the floor, he got in more four trouble.

      It does look like Okur had a little foul trouble early in the game, but he only ended up with 3 fouls. I can see why he sat out some of the first half, but it is strange he didn’t play more in the second half.

      And man I hope the old AK is back. I got him in a couple leagues and I loved that almost triple double line.

      Yeah i’ve got okur and AK47 in my main league. Kinda painful that AK is on the Bench and Okur was a no show.

      Good old AK.
