I Like It!!

I don't know if they can keep it up for another 50 games, but I'm certainly digging the 2 100-point games in a row...2 nights in a row.

After a few months of boring, drag-it-out play, with a handful of up-tempo games thrown in before Kyle was hurt, it's nice to see them run again. It's like I've been saying for 2 seasons now - It has to be something entertaining to watch. NBA isn't totally about winning or losing, it's about entertainment. It would nice for them to win, but they have to make people want to pay to see them - even if they're losing...especially if they're losing.

For a team that's only averaging 95 points per game - including the last 2 100-point games and a couple of high-scoring overtime stat-skewers - it's great to see some action.

Win or lose, it has to be entertaining...even winning will only get you so far. Ask the Memphis Tigers: They win a LOT. But they play a crappy home schedule this year and the result is boring games - and lack of attendance.

I said when Barone Sr. was announced that I didn't know what kind of coach he'd be. If this is any indication, he's going to be pretty dang good.
