Shaub throws another pick, game over.

There were plays where Andre Johnson looked bad (I think it was Shaub's interception). But then there were plays (like the drive they just had where they came away with a FG) where Andre looked fine. I think it's just the Dallas team as a whole coming together more than it is the Texans playing terrible.

Looks like Dallas will win their first game of the season. I knew them going 0-3 was too good to be true.

But that's not rebuilding, that's more of a team trying to receive equal talent. One has to think that Denver wants to completely overhaul their roster and build through draft picks (similar to what Washington is currently doing). And if Melo doesn't want to go to New Jersey, why would he want to go to Philly?

This is just terrible, Roy Williams is eating that Texans secondary alive. Wow.

I don't understand why the Nuggets would want Iguodala. His contract is terrible, they are trying to rebuild, and would like to free up more cap space.

Give me a break, now the Texans decide not to show up on offense.... -_-

This is the Dallas team we've been searching for this season. Tough running opens up the pass game, and Romo is doing a good job distributing the ball to his receivers.

I'm becoming convinced that the Titans are the dirtiest team in the league, and by far.

So explain to me why his trade value is so high? Don't you think NBA GM's haven't taken note of his track record, and used it as a reason for why not to trade for him? Bynum missing time now allows him to fully get healthy before returning rather than rushing back to get back into the flow of things before making that long playoff run in May. And you're forgetting that Bynum happens to play in Los Angeles. Marketing is the least of their worries, add that to the fact that they have the most recognized basketball player in the world. If track records are such a problem, why haven't the Blazers given up on Oden? Because while he has a history of terrible injuries apparently dating back to the seventh grade, they have seen what he can do when he's healthy. They refuse to move on because they know what a force he can become if they just stay patient with him. As soon as Bynum makes the All-Star team you'd be calling for Kupchak's head. Trading Bynum for some talent now will help in the immediate and possibly long term future, but if Gasol gets injured you have no Bynum to get Gasol's touches inside or draw double team. I know you remember the days when Lamar Odom was the Laker offensive-post presence... not good days.

Yeah if Portis can't have a good game against the Rams defense, I will have lost all hope for him saving his career under Shanahan.

Should be an easy win for us, I'm interested in seeing how Trent Williams plays after his injury. Hopefully we get a chance to see Haynesworth in the game as well. Expecting big things from our offense tomorrow as well.

It's not true that the Lakers won game 7 because of their size? That Perkins injury was a huge loss for the Celtics, and the Lakers exploited it. While Drew may have been a non factor that game, you can't deny the fact that he is a vital piece to this team, and in years to come.

I think that Bynum's injuries for the most part have been freak accidents, with this I mean, yeah, he's injury prone but some people make it seem more than what he really is, after all, Bryant crashed into his knee and Lamar Odom was part of his first big injury, this last one was his "fault" but it wasn't a biggie, the timing was the crappy thing about it. I'd rather see him miss time in the beginning of the season than seeing him get hurt midway through the year. I watched the PJax press conference and he mentioned that he's going to experiment with Bynum playing in 7-8 minute spurts throughout the games and see how he handles himself. We're probably going to end up seeing them take the approach the Rockets are taking with Yao, and that's completely fine, because like you said, we know the Lakers don't need him. When the playoffs roll around, the Lake show will be going strong and will have a much stronger bench as opposed to last year. The Lakers are built so that they don't need one man exerting all his energy night in and night out. It's why Bryant still has a good 5 years or so left in his career. Pau, Ron and Odom are near the same age, Fish already has his replacement set with Steve Blake, and if the Bynum experiment works out in their favor, they will be set for a long time. I am a big fan of chemistry, I absolutely hate bringing in players when it's not necessary. The Lakers are the defending champs, they shouldn't even consider bringing in a big name guy. Everything is set in place for them to three peat, and I'm going to go ahead and say this team coming into the season is stronger than last years.

Yeah but what's better than having two 7'0 centers on a team with a 6'11 point forward on the bench? It really doesn't get better than that. They're the only team with that much versatility, and it's scary. The Lakers are set at every position, and there's no guarantee that Bynum will be injured every season. Yeah you can base your predictions off his track record, but as soon as he plays one full season in this league, they will regret it completely. And while I agree the Lakers have won plenty of series without him, they also managed to win game 7 because of their size. If they face the Heat in the finals (which is likely), you're going to need all the size you can get to stop LeBron, Wade, and Bosh, all three that rely on attacking the basket.

Yeah but it's also smart on Melo's part. He knows how much leverage he has on the situation, and he's using it to his advantage. If I were the Nuggets, knowing that all he wants is to go to New York, I say just deal him there and get whatever they offer you.

Interception....wow. Choke job by Arkansas.

Way to go Arkansas....if they don't score now, this is going to be a major let down. They had this game.

The reason why the Lakers have the advantage on so many teams is because of their size. They have to keep Bynum because he feeds off of Pau and Odom. They don't need a great PG, they don't need a Melo type player.

Picked off again! But I must say, it wasn't a terrible throw, just better coverage.

Highly doubt that would be convincing to Melo. They needed more than just an aging SG....

Picked off! Huge play by Arkansas, they need it.

Mark has 12 rushes this season, 3 of them are for 45 yards or more... Wow.
