Must say its a darn pleasure to watch Jeff Teague (whoooo?) go about his business. 33 and 10 assists is Chris Paul level stuff and I hope he gets to control the Hawks offense without anyone else stealing minutes.

Poor @Reignman40 won't like to hear that, it's means his beloved Jared Cunningham will likely be off to the D league!

David Mayo: I don't know where Rondo is going -- maybe nowhere -- but that Boston will continue to shop him, and Dumars will continue to talk with Danny Ainge about the possibility, until such point as the Celtics trade Rondo elsewhere or the trade deadline passes. The Celtics are looking to maximize Rondo's value if they make a deal, and a lot of teams won't offer much until they see him playing again on that surgically repaired knee. If that happens on schedule and Rondo is effective, there will be any number of suitors, including Detroit. Booth Newspapers - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.uCqHR06n.dpuf

The NBA announced Saturday that Heat guard, Mario Chalmers, has been suspended one game for his Flagrant 2 foul on Dirk Nowitzki during Friday’s Miami-Dallas game. Chalmers was ejected during the fourth quarter after he was fighting through a screen and appeared to hit Mavs’ Dirk Nowitzki with an inadvertent forearm/elbow to the face. beyondthebuzzer.com - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.uCqHR06n.dpuf

Orlando's front office is not focused on winning now. But its coaches and players are focused on trying to win each game, and in a strange reality, their leader is Nelson, who knows he could be traded in the coming weeks. "If they tell me they're going to trade me, what can I do?" he said. "My job is to play, no matter where it is. I would love to continue to play here in Orlando and finish my career here, and see this thing turned around. That's not up to me. My job is to play."

Aaaaaand now for the most important headline...

"I feel like I'm ahead of schedule," Bryant told former teammate Rick Fox in an interview for NBA TV. "If there was a playoff game tonight, I'd play. I'd play. I don't know how effective I'd be, but I would play.

"The fadeaway still works, the ballhandling, being able to post. Those are things that I can do right now. But it's not the playoffs, thank god."

Kobe Bryant returned to practice with his Lakers teammates on Saturday for the first time since rupturing his Achilles tendon last April.

Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reported that it was a light workout for the Lakers' veteran star, who participated in 5-on-0 drills.

The story was first reported by Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowsk

No surprises here, smart move considering they'd most likely lose to the Clips anyway. They needed that Phoenix win.
