Let's play a game: how many points will Maya Moore score in her WCBA debut tomorrow for Shanxi Xingrui Flame vs. Bayi? I'm going to set the over/under at 59.5 (take the poll after the jump). Shanxi has no other scorer (currently 0-2), and while Bayi is 2-0, we're going to go out on a limb and say the team has absolutely no one who will be able to stop her. Remember, JR Smith scored 60 playing in a CBA game this past season, and he's nowhere as good as Moore relative to the competition.
Jeremy Lin had a pretty good outing in his Houston Rockets debut on Wednesday, a 105-96 win at Detroit, scoring 12 points with 8 assists and notching a plus/minus of +23.

The video description doesn’t tell us much except that the person getting beat up was a “thief” who, after pulling his small-time heist, had the gall to duck into an Internet cafe. He was pulled out and beaten up, methodically. All of this was filmed, and it’s a nasty, brutish — anything but short — affair.
Did you know people in the US spend more for Halloween than every holiday except Christmas? Candies, costumes, day-after pills (only in some states!), and liquor all cost money, and if there’s one thing we know, it’s that adults are more than happy to spend in the name of socialized buffoonery and fun. Some of... Read more »
As if we needed more proof that it’s difficult getting from point A to B in this city, here’s documented proof.
