NBA Title Odds: Chances Every Playoff Contender Will Win the ChampionshipJanuary 18, 2013
NBA Title Odds: Chances Every Playoff Contender Will Win the Championship
The halfway mark of the 2012-13 NBA season is as good a time as any to reassess the big picture of contenders for the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
The Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder are back in the eye of the storm, as most expected coming into the campaign. Granted, the defending champs aren't setting the basketball world ablaze to the extent that the Thunder are, but the Heat are thus far milking the benefit of the doubt given on account of their 2012 title.
The San Antonio Spurs remain in the mix and, as always, hardly a peep has been heard about their long-term prospects. The Memphis Grizzlies have fallen into a similar category since their torrid start, though trade rumors regarding Rudy Gay have since thrust them back into the spotlight.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers and the New York Knicks appear to have supplanted the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics in the discussion in their respective conferences. However, the Lakers and the C's have both shown signs of life of late—the latter more so than the former.
For a look at where all these teams stand as of mid-January, we turn to the "sages" of Las Vegas (via bovada.lv) to reset the NBA title race.
Note: All statistics and odds are accurate as of January 18th, 2013.
Portland Trail Blazers: 200-to-1
The Trail Blazers are currently a half-game out of the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoff picture, thanks in large part to the efforts of Damian Lillard. The first-year point guard from Weber State has been nothing short of sensational, particularly on the offensive end. He leads all rookies in points (18.1) and assists (6.5) to go along with 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.
But even Lillard's efforts may not be enough to keep Portland in the postseason hunt. The Blazers have dropped each of their last three games by slim margins and currently sport an alarmingly negative point differential (minus-2.1 per game).
With the Utah Jazz, the Dallas Mavericks, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Lakers all poised to make moves at the trade deadline and/or get back into the hunt as their stars heal up, don't be surprised if the Blazers tire and fall further back into the lottery, especially given their alarming lack of depth.
Philadelphia 76ers: 150-to-1
The Philadelphia 76ers' title odds would probably be much worse if not for the impending return of Andrew Bynum.
As it stands, the Sixers' picture isn't a particularly rosy one. They've dropped 17 of their last 23 games and sit four-and-a-half games behind the eighth-seed Boston Celtics. They're anemic offensively (25th in offensive efficiency) and patently average defensively (19th in defensive efficiency).
This, despite an All-Star-caliber campaign by Jrue Holiday and a schedule that ranks among the least difficult in the NBA so far.
Bynum thinks he might be ready to go by the All-Star break, but he can't come back soon enough to suit the Sixers as they attempt to claw their way back into the playoff race.
Utah Jazz: 125-to-1
The Jazz are currently on the fence separating "Buyers" and "Sellers" as the trade deadline approaches. On the one hand, Utah is 21-19, in a virtual tie with the Houston Rockets for the seventh seed in the West.
On the other hand, the Jazz sport a pair of big men—Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap—on expiring contracts who could prove to be valuable trade chips. The (occasionally) eye-opening play of Utah's young bigs, Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors, has left head coach Tyrone Corbin with a bit of a conundrum as to who to play and when.
And, in the bigger picture, the organization as a whole with a pivotal decision: settle for the potential of a fringe playoff spot now, or blow it up by trading Jefferson and/or Millsap and build for the future?
In any case, Utah's chances of winning the title are slim to none, even if the team remains in the playoff picture going forward.
Minnesota Timberwolves: 125-to-1
Strange as it may seem, the Timberwolves, at 16-20, haven't been cast aside completely by the oracles in Sin City just yet.
Even though Kevin Love could be out until March and Ricky Rubio has yet to fully recover from ACL surgery.
The bookmakers' faith in Minny may have something to do with the bang-up job Rick Adelman has done to keep this team afloat. Being four games under .500 isn't much to write home about in and of itself, but for Adelman's T-Wolves, who've had just three players (Luke Ridnour, Alexey Shved and Dante Cunningham) take part in all 35 of their games thus far, that apparent mediocrity is an accomplishment in and of itself.
If the T-Wolves can hold the fort for another month or so, they might just be able to sneak their way into the postseason once Love's hand is fit for full contact.
Milwaukee Bucks: 125-to-1
It's tough to characterize the Bucks' place in a virtual tie for the seventh seed in the East as a comfortable one. Milwaukee is currently 20-18, including a 4-2 mark since Scott Skiles stepped down on January 8th.
Then again, the competition in the muddled middle of the Eastern Conference isn't exactly stellar. The Sixers appear to pose the biggest threat, while the Detroit Pistons, the Toronto Raptors and the Orlando Magic—the next three teams in the standings—are all closer to the last-place Washington Wizards than they are to the eighth-place Bucks.
To their credit, the Bucks boast a ton of size and energy up front between Larry Sanders, John Henson, Ekpe Udoh, Ersan Ilyasova and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. And, in Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, they have a pair of scoring guards who can always shoot them into any given game.
Or, just as quickly shoot Milwaukee out of one.
Better than waiting on Andrew Bogut's ankle to heal up, I suppose.
Dallas Mavericks: 125-to-1
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has already made it clear that his team will be a major player at the trade deadline in February.
The exact capacity of that activity remains to be seen. Right now, the signs seem to point to the Mavs sacrificing some of their cap flexibility to land themselves a star or star-like talent, seeing as how Chris Paul and Dwight Howard aren't likely to take less money to play in the Metroplex this summer.
Unless, perhaps, the Mavs can pry Josh Smith, one of Howard's closest friends, from the Atlanta Hawks before February 21st.
Dallas could certainly use the help. The Mavs' current four-game winning streak has helped to stop the bleeding after a brutal stretch during which they dropped 13 of 15. Dirk Nowitzki is rounding into form, but not quickly enough to counteract the respective returns of OJ Mayo and Darren Collison to their more earthbound selves after hot starts.
Then again, if the whole operation winds up down the tubes over the next few weeks, the Mavs may well look to offload some of their more fungible assets in an attempt to construct a winning outfit for 2013-14.
Houston Rockets: 100-to-1
Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey deserves all the credit in the world for putting together a team that's not only entertaining as heck to watch, but also a legitimate threat to crack the postseason for the first time since 2009.
And with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, the stars of Houston's last playoff squad, both working in China, no less.
Kevin McHale has done a masterful job of turning the Rockets' status as the NBA's youngest team from a weakness into a strength. They play at the fastest pace in the league, attack the basket with reckless abandon (fifth in free throws per field-goal attempt, second in points in the paint) and get more of their points and field goal attempts from behind the three-point line than any team other than the New York Knicks.
Houston's defense (20th in efficiency) remains a work-in-progress. But, on the whole, the Rockets are a joy to follow on League Pass, thanks in no small part to the budding chemistry between James Harden and Jeremy Lin. This team is a way away from title contention, but has the talent to build something special over the long haul and the trade chips to accelerate the maturation process in the interim.
Atlanta Hawks: 66-to-1
It's all but official: the Atlanta Hawks are no longer soaring. A 109-95 win over the blazing-hot Brooklyn Nets helped to stem the tide of a slide that saw the Hawks drop six games in seven tries.
Even in victory, it's clear that Atlanta is currently coming apart at the seams. The Hawks suspended star forward Josh Smith for the game for the typically-collegian offense of "conduct detrimental to the team," perhaps stoking the flames of another round of Smith-related trade rumors.
Hawks general manager Danny Ferry may well choose to parlay Smith's expiring contract into a package of valuable assets with which to rebuild the middling franchise. Little was expected of Atlanta coming into the season after Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams were sent packing for flotsam and Devin Harris (i.e. also flotsam) over the summer.
But the Hawks' assortment of slashers (Lou Williams, Jeff Teague, Harris), shooters (Kyle Korver, Anthony Morrow) and versatile bigs (Smith, Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia) has proven surprisingly potent, at least in the early going. Atlanta has slipped from third in the East to sixth in recent weeks, though only a handful of games separate the Hawks from the upper echelon in the conference.
In any case, it'll be up to Danny Ferry to determine whether this team should bother with another so-so postseason seed or continue to scale back. What's clear, though, is that the Hawks aren't yet prepared to truly challenge the Heat, the Knicks, the Celtics and the Chicago Bulls for Eastern Conference supremacy.
Denver Nuggets: 60-to-1
A blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder doesn't change the fact that the Denver Nuggets are, for all intents and purposes, the Hawks of the West—a team that's good enough to make the playoffs without appearing prepared to win much more than a single playoff series, if that.
Not to take anything away from the Nuggets. Prior to January 16th, Denver had been on a bit of a tear, winning six in a row, seven of eight, nine of 11 and 12 of 16.
As expected. A brutal early-season schedule, filled with road trips and tough matchups, made the Nuggets' attempt to adjust to life with Andre Iguodala on board and Ty Lawson set to make significantly more money that much harder.
But, at last, the Nuggets are starting to attack the hoop and run teams ragged amidst the thin air at the Pepsi Center. Their assortment of bigs remains somewhat miscast, due to Kenneth Faried's lack of true size and Danilo Gallinari's vanishing accuracy.
Nonetheless, this squad has the talent, athleticism and experience to make some noise come playoff time. Also, don't be surprised if general manager Masai Ujiri makes another shrewd move within the next month or so, especially given the interest seldom-used center Timofey Mozgov is reportedly garnering on the open market.
Indiana Pacers: 50-to-1
The Pacers' 50-to-1 title odds don't seem so unfair in the wake of their 97-86 loss to the lowly Magic. But, given Indy's recent run of play, one might've expected Sin City to be a bit more generous in the Pacers' case.
The Pacers stand as the third seed in the Eastern Conference, just a half-game ahead of the Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls and three behind the Heat for top honors. A run of 13 wins in 17 games had done wonders for Indy's once-moribund place among the pack.
As had the team's wholehearted adoption of a defensive identity. Even after losing to Orlando, the Pacers' defense remains the stingiest in the NBA, allowing a mere 95.6 points per 100 possessions.
Oddly enough, Danny Granger may be among those most to credit for the turnaround, despite having played nary a minute this season on account of injury. His absence has allowed Paul George to continue his climb toward stardom while forcing the Pacers to rely even more on their effort and synchronicity on the defensive end.
Playing a grind-it-out, defense-first style may not be fun to watch, but when the pace of play slows and every possession becomes paramount in the postseason, the Pacers may well find themselves among those best prepared to bludgeon their way through the East.
Golden State Warriors: 40-to-1
Believe it or not, the Golden State Warriors—yes, the Golden State Warriors—have established their rightful place within the Western Conference playoff picture on a foundation of strong team defense.
Head coach Mark Jackson has instilled a certain toughness in a franchise long known for playing fast-paced, wide-open basketball (defense be damned!). The Warriors currently rank a respectable 11th in defensive efficiency, sixth in opponent effective field-goal percentage (which accounts for the added value of three-pointers) and fifth in rebounding percentage.
And they still score, shoot and push the pace at top-10 rates. Stephen Curry has been spectacular as a scoring point guard while avoiding damage to his troubled ankle (for the most part) and Klay Thompson's shooting has finally come back online a bit.
But the real surprise in the Bay has been the play of David Lee and Carl Landry, particularly in tandem. Lee is the closest thing the league has to a 20-10 man at the moment—he's 10th in scoring (19.7 points) and seventh in rebounding (10.9 boards). Landry, meanwhile, is averaging 12.1 points and 6.6 rebounds off the bench for Golden State. Together, these two have helped the Warriors to outscore the opposition by 6.9 points per 100 possessions, as gleaned from a sample size of over 500 minutes.
Now, nobody's suggesting that the Dubs are a threat to win the West. However, a playoff berth—the franchise's first since the days of the "We Believe" Warriors—would be progress enough for this long-suffering squad.
Brooklyn Nets: 30-to-1
The Nets' 109-95 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on January 16th was just their second such result of the PJ Carlesimo Era. They're now 9-2 since Avery Johnson was run out (by Deron Williams), though seven of those wins have come against teams under the .500 mark.
Whatever the quality of the competition, this recent run of play has been enough to propel Brooklyn back to within just a few games of the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Nets would be hard-pressed to contest Miami's claim, but a run at the No. 2 seed isn't out of the question.
That is, so long as D-Will and Joe Johnson haven't already hit the downward slopes of their respective careers and Brook Lopez continues to hold the fort in the middle of the floor. Gerald Wallace's return from bruised ribs bodes well for Brooklyn's defensive improvement—the Nets are currently 21st in defensive efficiency.
All told, Brooklyn isn't about to inspire championship-caliber confidence—at least, not in anyone outside the New York metropolitan area—but sports more than enough veteran talent to win a playoff series (or two) for the first time since 2007.
Boston Celtics: 20-to-1
Speaking of teams making injury-related comebacks, the Boston Celtics have been on a roll since Avery Bradley returned from double shoulder surgery. The C's had won six in a row with Bradley back at shooting guard until suffering a 90-78 loss to the New Orleans Hornets on January 16th.
That defeat aside, the Celtics have looked much more like the Celtics of old since the calendar turned to 2013. They're back to defending and forcing turnovers at a top-10 rate while taking care of it on the other end. Rajon Rondo is handling the ball and creating for his teammates, to the point where he's leading the league in assists by a country mile. Paul Pierce is scoring like a player five years his junior, thanks to what Jalen Rose calls his "Old Man Game." Kevin Garnett is anchoring the backline of Boston's defense at an All-Star level, and Bradley is doing the same on the perimeter.
And Boston's bench, once a liability, has developed into another strength, with Jason Terry moving out of the starting lineup and rookie Jared Sullinger finally finding his footing down low.
A 20-18 record and the eighth seed in the East may not seem like much, but with the way the pieces are falling into the place, these C's may well have the horses to sneak their way back into the Eastern Conference Finals once the playoffs roll around.
Chicago Bulls: 18-to-1
Tom Thibodeau has once again done a masterful job of keeping the Chicago Bulls together without the services of Derrick Rose. The Bulls are currently 22-15, good enough for fourth-place in the Eastern Conference, despite lacking a true shot-creator amidst an offense that ranks 20th in efficiency.
How's Chicago managed it? Simple: by playing hard-nosed, typically-Thibs defense. The Bulls are fourth in defensive efficiency, seventh in rebounding percentage and second in opponent effective field-goal percentage (which accounts for the added value of the three-point shot).
Their efforts in this regard have been aided by the play of Luol Deng and Joakim Noah, both of whom are defending at an All-World level so far. Those two, along with Carlos Boozer, have combined to carry Chicago's offense as well, to the tune of 46.3 points and 9.2 assists per game.
Whether the Bulls can sustain this level of success remains to be seen. Deng (40.2 minutes) and Noah (38.4 minutes) rank first and fifth in the NBA, respectively, in minutes per game, and Chicago has relied a bit too heavily on Richard Hamilton to provide perimeter scoring.
Luckily for the Bulls, D-Rose is on the mend and could be back in action around the All-Star break.
Memphis Grizzlies: 18-to-1
Have the Rudy Gay trade rumors doomed the Memphis Grizzlies, or did the flurry of hearsay simply pre-empt a slide that was already well underway?
Whatever the case may be, the Grizzlies have fallen off considerably in recent weeks. A 103-82 loss to the Spurs on January 16th was Memphis' third in a row (by an average of 22.7 points, no less) and dropped the team's record to a middling 6-7 since its scorching 18-6 start.
The causes of the Grizzlies' regression, beyond the maelstrom surrounding Rudy Gay, aren't all that difficult to pinpoint, either. Memphis' bench scoring and three-point shooting have both collapsed since a hot start—the Grizzlies now rank 29th in reserve scoring and 22nd in three-point percentage.
Not that this is all reason enough for full-blown doom and gloom in the Music City. Memphis still sports the second-stingiest defense, stands third in rebounding percentage and features a pair of giants, in Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, who, while earthbound and relatively slow, are both incredibly smart and skilled players who do a fantastic job of anchoring this team on both ends of the floor.
Still, if the Grizz are to get back on that "Memphis Grind" and truly challenge for the title, they'll need to snag themselves a shooter (or two) and another slasher who can create his own shot.
Which, inevitably, brings Rudy Gay back to the fore.
Los Angeles Lakers: 15-to-1
Need proof that the bookies in Vegas are not, in fact, infallible? Look no further than the Los Angeles Lakers.
Sin City currently has the Lakers listed as a top-six title contender, despite the fact that LA is five games under .500, has been riddled with injuries and has played atrocious team defense more often than not.
Apparently, Vegas still sees the Lakers through Jim Buss-colored glasses. The big names in Purple and Gold—Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol—look good on paper, and the supporting cast is finally showing signs of life, especially since Earl Clark burst onto the scene.
And, if this team cracks the postseason picture, they boast the requisite experience to make hay in the Western Conference. Kobe and Pau have won titles together, Dwight's carried a team to the NBA Finals and Nash and Mike D'Antoni came close with the Phoenix Suns once upon a time.
Unfortunately for fans in LA, that "if" is a rather large one. The Western Conference playoff race is uncrowding before the Lakers' very eyes, but what good would that do if they wound up opposite the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the playoffs?
The Lakers' best hope for title contention, it seems, is to get healthy, play their way into a series with the Clippers, and hope their historical mojo against their "little brothers" can carry them to what would (strangely enough) be a monumental upset.
New York Knicks: 12-to-1
Carmelo Anthony has been getting a ton of attention this season as an MVP, but he might not even hold that distinction on his own team. The New York Knicks have a 20-point win over the mighty Miami Heat sans 'Melo on their resume.
To be sure, the Knicks' overall record without Anthony (3-4) is far from sterling, though the same could certainly be said of this squad minus Raymond Felton. The Knicks are a middling 5-5 since Felton was sidelined with a fractured pinky, including a stretch of three losses against Eastern Conference playoff contenders.
But Felton is aiming to return to action much sooner than initially expected. New York could certainly use Ray around to lend life to an offense that's gone limp without his dribble penetration. With nobody to drive and kick, the Knicks' perimeter shots haven't been quite as wide open as before, and their percentages have tailed off accordingly.
If any fast-starting team was bound to slow down, it was these Knicks. They'd been far too reliant on streaky three-point shooting and decrepit veterans (i.e. Jason Kidd, Rasheed Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby) to stitch together what was admittedly an impressive fabric of wins.
The Knicks have paid a bit of a price since their 18-5 start. However, with Felton on the mend, Amar'e Stoudemire getting his legs back under him and 'Melo and Tyson Chandler anchoring the squad on either end, New York could be a serious threat in the East come playoff time, assuming all the disparate parts come together.
San Antonio Spurs: 8-to-1
Another year, another strong regular season for the San Antonio Spurs. If the playoffs started today, the Spurs would be the three-seed in the West by way of a 30-11 record, one that puts them just two games behind the NBA-best Oklahoma City Thunder and a game-and-a-half back of the Los Angeles Clippers.
The actual gap between those two and the Spurs, though, may be much wider, at least as far as title contention is concerned. San Antonio has lost twice to the Clips this season, and would probably be 0-2 against OKC if not for Tony Parker saving the team's behind in the second game of the season.
Not that the Spurs don't have the requisite talent and experience to win big in the postseason. Parkers' enjoying arguably the finest season of his spectacular career (19.4 points, 7.2 assists, .520 from the field, .426 from three) and Tim Duncan is enjoying a resurgence of his own (17.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.8 blocks). Both have helped to keep the Spurs afloat amidst the age-related decline (and now injury-riddle absence) of Sixth Man extraordinaire Manu Ginobili.
Which brings to mind a bigger question—can the Spurs keep this up long enough to bring home a fifth Larry O'Brien Trophy?
Maybe. General manager RC Buford and head coach Gregg Popovich have done a masterful job in recent years of injecting their squad with younger, more athletic players, among them Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter. In the meantime, it helps the Spurs' case that they're one of two teams in the NBA that ranks among the top-five in offensive and defensive efficiency.
The other being the Clippers.
Still, none of that will matter if San Antonio's Big Three of Duncan, Parker and Ginobili isn't fit enough to stay on the court and play effectively through April and May, and potentially into June.
Los Angeles Clippers: 5-to-1
What's not to like about the Los Angeles Clippers right now?
They're a franchise-best 31-9 through their first 40 games, thanks to an offense that ranks fourth in efficiency and a defense that checks in third in points allowed per 100 possessions. They can play fast (fifth in fast-break points) or slow, inside (third in points in the paint) or out.
Two of their starters (Blake Griffin and Chris Paul) will be serving in the same capacity for the Western Conference squad at the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. One of them (Paul) has missed the last three games, though the Clips have won all three on the strength of a bench that's arguably the NBA's best, with Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes and Eric Bledsoe leading the way.
And is only getting better. Lamar Odom is rounding back into proper form, Grant Hill made his Clippers debut this week, and Chauncey Billups' return, whenever it comes, will probably push Willie Green, a surprisingly competent starter, back into the second unit, if he's lucky.
It would seem, then, that the Clippers will only be held back insofar as they allow their coaching, lack of championship experience among its top seven players and haunted franchise history to do just that. LA has already beaten the Miami Heat handily and pushed the Thunder into overtime this season, thereby showing that they can hang with the best of the best.
All that's left to do now is prove they can do it when the games really matter.
Oklahoma City Thunder: 7-to-2
Also in the Clippers' way? The Thunder.
Who, as it happens, are still rather formidable, even without James Harden coming off the bench.
The Thunder have won their last five games in a row—four by double-digit margins—to move to an NBA-best 31-8 on the season. They own the league's best point differential (plus-9.6 points), the most efficient offense and the sixth-stingiest defense.
How'd they do it, even after sending Harden, a potential top-10 player and likely All-Star, to the Houston Rockets prior to the season?
As they always have—on the backs of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Both superstars are enjoying transformative (if not entirely transcendent) seasons in 2012-13. Durant is scoring as much (28.7 points) and as efficiently (.525 from the field, .402 from three, .901 from the line) as he ever has, while morphing into the sort of fear-inducing, jack-of-all-trades menace on both ends of the floor that's helped to entrench LeBron James as the best player on the planet in recent years.
Westbrook, meanwhile, continues to fluctuate between Good Russ and Bad Russ, but has done a much better job of picking his spots as a scorer (22.4 points) while working to become more of a point-guard-like facilitator (8.3 assists, 41.3 percent assist rate).
That's not to discount the development of Serge Ibaka into far more than just a shot-blocking menace, or to ignore how seamlessly Kevin Martin has slid into Harden's role as a scoring sixth man.
But if this team is to make a return trip to the NBA Finals (and emerge victorious), it'll need Durant and Westbrook to dominate the competition to an even greater extent than they have so far this season.
Miami Heat: 2-to-1
It's fair to say that the Miami Heat haven't been particularly impressive on the whole this season. Their 26-12 record is the best in the Eastern Conference, but remains only one game better than that of second-place New York and six ahead of the eighth-seed Celtics.
Miami's fast-paced, small-ball offense has been spectacular at times (third in efficiency), but the defense (12th in efficiency) has come and gone, and the Heat's lack of size has left them vulnerable on the boards (26th in rebounding percentage).
Luckily, the Heat have enough going for them to think that they'll be the favorites come playoff time. For one, LeBron James still plays in Miami, and he just so happens to be the best player on planet Earth. His last two nationally-televised performances—25 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists against the Warriors; a season-high 39 points, seven rebounds and eight assists opposite the Lakers—have served reminder of as much.
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh haven't always carried their weight for Miami, though they're both fully capable of superstar-worthy play more often than not. The Heat's 2012 title has also granted them the benefit of the doubt that once eluded them at every turn. Now, when the team struggles, there are more calls for calm than for panic in the basketball world.
Not that there isn't reason enough for concern. The Heat clearly struggle against teams with size, since such opponents force them to play the offensively-inept Joel Anthony. Their defensive effort has been almost as maddeningly inconsistent as the contributions of their bench, to which Ray Allen hasn't always added as much as expected.
And the Heat's reliance on LeBron to save them, time and again, could come back to bite them should the reigning MVP wear down.
But, for now, the Eastern Conference is weak, making Miami's road to a repeat the best bet of any in basketball.

A Brunswick County man was sentenced to more than 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges, including attempted rape and kidnapping, on Tuesday.
Clarence Cornelius Jacobs Jr. 30, was scheduled to go to trial this week in New Hanover County Superior Court on charges of attempted first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, assault inflicting physical injury by strangulation and breaking and entering, according to a news release from District Attorney Ben David.
But before trial got underway, "the defendant informed the court that he would be pleading guilty," David said.
Jacobs went into a 27-year-old woman's home on Racine Drive while she was out walking her dog on June 4, 2014. When the victim returned to the home, Jacobs attempted to sexually assault the woman, according to David.
"He removed the victim's clothing, he slapped her across the face and strangled her while slamming her head against the headboard," David said. "The defendant held the victim's 4-pound Yorkie by the neck, threatening to slam him into the wall if the victim did not comply."
During the assault, the woman called her boyfriend, but the call was disconnected. The phone re-dialed her boyfriend's number, and a voice mail of the attack was recorded while her boyfriend was on the phone with 911.
The recording captured "the terror that the victim experienced," Assistant District Attorney Connie Jordan said.
Jacobs tied the woman's pants to two doorknobs to confine her to the bedroom while he searched the house for money.
"The victim jumped from a second-story window with her dog to flee the attack," David said. "She ran to a nearby house, where she was able to borrow clothes to cover herself and call 911."
Officers caught Jacobs but he escaped and ran from the scene, David said. He was captured again in the area of Cardinal and Oriole drives and taken into custody.
According to the N.C. Department of Corrections, Jacobs was convicted of taking indecent liberties with a child in Brunswick County on Aug. 17, 2004. He was registered as a sex offender for 10 years, according to the national registry. He was also convicted of 13 felonies, including larceny and breaking and entering.
Because of his criminal history, Jacobs was indicted with a habitual felon status, David said.
Superior Court Judge Benjamin Alford sentenced Jacobs 25 to 36 years in prison. Once he's released from prison, Jacobs is required to register as a sexual offender and to wear a satellite-based monitoring device for the rest of his life.

Chapter 4Mature
I stayed sat on the stairs for a while, my mind whirling. I was glad I had done what I had done, but now I was thinking about the consequences. Now, not only was I the one in trouble with their family, but she might be as well. I don't think I would ever forgive myself is something happened to her.
I slowly got up and stretched, making my way back down to the ward. Galen was waiting for me. He laughs as I walk in. 'Mr Prince, I hope you know that this hospital uses CCTV.'
I frown. 'Why are you telling me this?'
He puts his hand in his pocket, pulling out a CD. He throws it to me. 'As I said to the Strayer earlier, I don't care about you two. But if your families find that, this hospital would be under…siege.'
I nod, snapping the CD in two. 'Thank you.' He nods and walks out. My eyes follow him out, before I sit on the bed. I wonder who he is- he says he doesn't care about us, but I think he does really.
I close my eyes, frowning, thinking.
I don't hear him approach, but I open my eyes as Artemis sits down.
'out of the billions of people in the world she could have chosen, why does it have to be you? A Prince?'
'I wish I knew.' I mutter, sighing. 'I don't deserve her.'
'No.' he says bluntly. 'But she has chosen you- and nothing you say will change that.'
'You must hate me.'
There was a pause. 'Surprisingly, I don't. I should- your on a different side to me, you've killed my family and you are about to take my sister away from me, but I don't hate you. I think you really have changed.'
I look at him, shocked. 'Thanks…'
He grins. 'Don't mention it.'
There was a laugh from the doorway as Eliza walked in. 'I knew you would end up liking him.' She walked over to me and took my hand. I brought hers to my lips and kissed it.
Artemis smiles. 'I never said I liked him, just that I didn't hate him,'
She smiles gently, and then grows serious. 'What are we going to do?'
Artemis stood up and walked over to the other bed. He crouched down, and brought out a small bag from underneath it. He throws the bad at me. 'Open it.'
I do so, peering inside. Roll after roll of money was stuffed inside. Artemis walks back over. There is enough in there to start a new life. Have it.'
Eliza stood up and hugged him. 'Thank you Arty.'
'Don't mention it. I just want to keep you safe.' he sighs. 'You're going to need that money. You will be in a lot of trouble now. Both families will be after you. And…'
The way he said it made me look up. 'And what?'
He starts pacing. 'I've been thinking. We have both been told different things about why we fight each other. What if they are both lies? What if it is something else entirely. Someone else, not just our families?'
My eyes widen in understanding. 'You think there is a third party involved? And once they know about us…' I stop.
Eliza finishes for me. 'They will come after us too.' She looks at Artemis. 'What do you think we should do?'
He shrugs. 'You have two options. Run. Forget everything about this and hope they forget you. Or fight. Find the real reason and stop our families fighting.'
Eliza turns to me smiling. I nod. 'I think we are fighting.'
He sighs. 'I thought you would say that.'

Chapter Seven (Part 6)
Ever since that night when both Lea and Jet had delved deeper into my past and gotten to know things that I hadn't cared to mention before, she would occasionally pipe up with a question she hadn't yet asked. There were a lot of things that we hadn't told her in detail, one of them being the events that had unfolded during the summer camp. And I had also made sure that Nancy and Drew who had done most of the talking had steered clear of any stories involving Jensen and I.
In the end, Lea had heard mostly stories of Nancy and Drew's love lives, of their past and how the two had ended up together. The most she'd gotten about Jensen was that he'd become part of the group starting the school year after summer camp and that he'd moved the next summer.
"Why did Jensen move?"
I shrugged even though she couldn't see me. "No idea."
"Well you're going to see him eventually when he comes home, so maybe you could ask him."
"Lea, have I not made myself clear? I have no intention of seeing or talking to Jensen again."
Jet suddenly popped in now, as Lea started coughing like mad. "What do you have against him anyway? He seems like a nice guy."
I let out a huff of air. "You guys don't know him the way I do."
"You're right, we don't," Lea said, sounding quite fed up. "Maybe we would if you told us the whole deal between you two."
"Not happening."
"Fine," Lea snapped back.
Silence filled in between us. Finally, Jet eased in. "Well, we should stop wasting your credit now. So have a fun time baby-sitting Melanie!"
"Yeah, thanks."
I shut my phone, ending the call on a sharp note. Crossing my arms across my chest, I glared at a fixed spot on the wall, concentrating my negative energy somewhere. I knew that Lea was bothered by the fact she didn't know so much about my past till a few nights ago. And I could sympathize with her feeling bad about it, but it really got on my nerves every time she pushed to know more about the history I shared with Jensen.
Deciding the best way to deal with this would be to distract myself, I settled for watching a movie. There were loads of movies to choose from but in the end, I picked out the classic - "Lion King". Snuggling up the couch, I lay down sideways and watched the images that flitted across the screen.
I really am the world's greatest babysitter though – even after falling asleep on the job.

Imira:This House Isn't Safe For Humans
I went and sat on the bed next to Ana. She appeared to be in shock. I wasn't surprised. I would have been too. I put my arm around her and she shrank away from it.
'Don't worry, I won't bite you,' I said. I don't think she believed me.
'Listen, I'm not discriminating or anything but I really don't think you should be here. This house isn't safe for humans.'
I left and went back to my own room. There was only a mattress, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, a table with a lamp and shelves full of books. Even though I'd never been here before, I recognised it.

Lrp1 (show LRP1 Proteins)-antisense directly binds to high-mobility group box 2 (Hmgb2) and inhibits the activity of Hmgb2 to enhance Srebp1a-dependent transcription of Lrp1 (show LRP1 Proteins).
Data show that odulation of RNA helicase DDX18 (show DDX18 Proteins) directly affects growth of tamoxifen-resistant cells, suggesting that it may be a critical downstream effector of the estrogen receptors (ERs) and high mobility group box 2 (HMGB2) complex.
siRNA-mediated silencing of HMGB2 increased the sensitivity of the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines to cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil.
the combination of a HMGB1+ and HMGB2- expression potentially predicts a poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
This study found that single nucleotide polymorphisms of HMGB1 (show HMGB1 Proteins) may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy.
The present data suggest that HMGB2 expression is a significant prognostic factor for glioblastoma and might play an important role in cell invasion.
HMGB2 is necessary to protect colorectal cancer cells from DNA damage and efficient DNA repair and p53-mediated downregulation is a critical mechanism of modulating HMGB2 expression.
Transient local HMGB2-DNA contacts dominate the DNA-bending mechanism used by HMGB (show FAH Proteins) proteins to increase DNA flexibility.
Crohn's disease in the colon and ulcerative colitis can be differentially diagnosed using anti-HMGB/HMGB2 antibodies combined with anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies.
The age-related loss of HMGB2 in articular cartilage may represent a mechanism responsible for the decline in adult cartilage stem cell populations.
HMGB2 functions as a modulator of neurogenesis in young adult mice through regulation of neural stem cell proliferation.
Oct4 post-translational modifications (PTMs) form a positive feedback loop, which promotes Akt activation and interaction with Hmgb2 and the SET complex.
HMGB2 (but not HMGB1 (show HMGB1 Proteins)) suppresses pathologic cell growth in vivo and controls a gene expression program responsible for hypertrophic cell growth
Data show that Hmgb1 and Hmgb2 function redundantly to enhance Wnt signaling in embryos, and further suggest that integrating Wnt, Shh, and BMP signaling regulates the development of digit5 in forelimbs.
High levels of HMGB2 directly correlate with the extent of neoplastic changes in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. HMGB2 is an effective stimulus for cell differentiation, tumor progression, & metastatic invasion.
In human and murine cartilage, there is an aging-related loss of HMGB2 expression, ultimately leading to its complete absence.
Increased HMGB2 expression is associated with squamous cell carcinoma of skin.

This gene encodes a member of the non-histone chromosomal high mobility group protein family. The proteins of this family are chromatin-associated and ubiquitously distributed in the nucleus of higher eukaryotic cells. In vitro studies have demonstrated that this protein is able to efficiently bend DNA and form DNA circles. These studies suggest a role in facilitating cooperative interactions between cis-acting proteins by promoting DNA flexibility. This protein was also reported to be involved in the final ligation step in DNA end-joining processes of DNA double-strand breaks repair and V(D)J recombination.

OpenADR Alliance to Showcase OpenADR Based Solutions and Ecosystem Throughout DistribuTECH 2017
Updated OpenADR Demand Response Program Guide to Include New Program Templates for Europe
MORGAN HILL, Calif., OCT. 12, 2016: The year-long collaboration between the OpenADR Alliance and USEF (Universal Smart Energy Framework) Foundation has already resulted in the creation of several new Demand Response (DR) Program Templates in the OpenADR Program Guide. This initial success aligns with the key goals of the relationship, which began in November 2015 to accelerate the development of an integrated smart energy future that is energy efficient, cost-effective and beneficial for businesses and consumers alike.
New whitepaper explains how combing the two protocols turns electric vehicles from threats to the electricity grid into demand-response assets
MORGAN HILL, Calif., Oct. 04, 2016: Smart grids and demand response are a cost-effective solution to the imbalances, blackouts and large investments typically associated with renewable energy and electric cars, according to a new whitepaper authored by the OpenADR Alliance, Eindhoven University of Technology, E-laad Foundation, Greenlots and Alliander.
The white paper, "Using OpenADR with OCPP" shows how combining the leading open protocol for demand response (OpenADR 2.0) and the leading open protocol for charging electric cars (OCPP) allows utilities to create a smart charging ecosystem that can improve grid management, enhance energy efficiency and lower the costs of deployment.
MORGAN HILL, Calif., Feb. 02, 2016: The OpenADR Alliance today announced the release of the OpenADR 2.0 Demand Response Program Guide. This guide recommends OpenADR best practices for virtual top nodes (VTNs) and virtual end nodes (VENs) to help standardize the implementation of specific demand response (DR) programs. In addition, the Alliance has developed a certification program, based on the DR Guide, to strengthen the interoperability of products certified as OpenADR compliant, a simple add-on to the current OpenADR "b" Profile Certification to support utilities worldwide.

More people are living alongside the central stretch of the Thames in London — from Wandsworth to Woolwich — than at any time in the capital's history.
The demand for riverside homes is so great that thousands of new properties are in the planning pipeline, particularly on the south side of the Thames.
The Thames Clipper, the river's main commuter boat operator, has seen passenger numbers jump from single figures to 7,500 a day since the service began in 1999.
And research shows that two-thirds of buyers are moving from central London properties down to the river as an alternative to moving out of the capital altogether, showing yet again how powerful is the urge to avoid commuting in.
As the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race gets under way from Putney Bridge on Saturday, thousands more city dwellers will be reminded once again how attractive the waterfront has become.
From Kew in the west to Docklands in the east, riverside apartments are attracting attention as vast tracts of industrial land are freed for development. New schemes are eye-catching and less "block built" than in the past, more solid and deploying a more imaginative range of materials.

There are also price brackets to suit most buyers, the lowest being east of Canary Wharf, where flats sell for less than £300,000, with the top-price homes found to the south-west at Kingston. And as the apartments go up the investors come in with their gyms, bars and restaurants, boutiques and galleries, all contributing to a more appealing environment.
Developments being launched this Easter offer the widest choice of riverside homes available for more than a decade, and include apartments overlooking the Putney to Mortlake stretch of the Thames where Saturday's thrilling race will be held.
Extra residential moorings and river taxi piers are being created, and Olympics-related initiatives, such as the London Pleasure Gardens in Royal Docks, aim to exploit the river's potential as a recreational resource.
Nine Elms, a district larger than Hyde Park, is getting 16,000 new homes on former industrial land between Vauxhall Bridge and Chelsea Bridge.
Riverside skyscrapers are being built at Albert Embankment (Telford Homes) and at Blackfriars (Berkeley Homes). Lots Road power station, next to Chelsea Harbour, will soon be an upmarket residential and retail estate.
Riverbank regeneration has created a new property niche, according to Matthew Smith of estate agent Knight Frank, which has set up a riverside division in response to burgeoning demand. "It's a very resilient sector of the housing market and prices continue to rise steadily," he says.
The firm covers more than 50 developments between Putney and Tower Bridge and says prices span between £850 and £2,000 a square foot. Albion Riverside and Riverside One on the Battersea waterfront have been the most popular developments during the past 12 months, with prices jumping by up to 20 per cent.
A price gap is opening between older schemes and new ones, but location still drives price. Benbow House, a decade-old scheme next to Tate Modern in Southwark, has a waiting list of buyers. About £850,000 is the entry price for a two-bedroom apartment.
Knight Frank's research shows that two thirds of riverside buyers already live in London (rather than being "international" or second-home purchasers), and most work in the finance, law or entertainment industries.
Fulham Reach is the biggest of the Easter launches, a 744-home scheme between Putney Bridge and Hammersmith Bridge. Lozenge-shaped apartment blocks with expanses of glass and big balconies face the splendid Harrods Furniture Depository, the listed former storage warehouse on the south side.
It is a tranquil setting. Developer St George has upgraded the riverside walkway, called Hammersmith Embankment, and a new park and community boat club and jetty are part of the scheme. Residents will have exclusive use of a spa, screening room and wine cellar, as well as a 24-hour concierge. The acclaimed Riverside Café is one of the local amenities. Prices from £749,950. Call 020 7870 9500.
River taxis are another bonus of waterside living. Currently, services operate along three sections of the Thames: Putney to Westminster via Chelsea Harbour; Embankment to Tower Bridge via Blackfriars, and Docklands to Woolwich via Greenwich.
Mayor Boris Johnson is keen to extend river transport and integrate piers with new mixed-use developments. A new pier has opened at St George Wharf, Vauxhall, and another is to be built at Plantation Wharf, Wandsworth, with nine residential moorings and 44 apartments. Call Cube Real Estate on 0845 262 5544.
Wandsworth's waterfront, especially around the heliport, is of varying quality in design, bulk and relationship to the river, while the infrastructure — Tube access, shops and eateries — lags behind other places.
Riverside Quarter, Battersea, at the end of Point Pleasant, has matured into the most attractive of all Wandsworth's residential estates.
It sits on a bend of the river known as the Wandle Delta, a noted wildlife habitat, and looks across the Thames towards leafy Hurlingham Park. It has moorings plus a cluster of convenience shops and restaurants serving local residents.
More than 200 flats have been built and the final phase of 121 apartments and penthouses, some with winter gardens, is now under way. Prices start from £490,000. Call 020 8877 2000.
Riverside living is not restricted to rich buyers. Prices are lowest east of Canary Wharf, where the riverfront still has an industrial character. Docklands in general is cheaper because it is slightly disconnected from central London. River view flats start at about £290,000 at Royal Arsenal in Woolwich and from about £350,000 in Rotherhithe, a halfway point between Docklands and the West End.
The Boatyard, the first new riverside scheme in Kingston for seven years, has flats priced from £280,000. Call 020 8150 5152 for more information.
A life "moulded by water"
Clive Roberts, originally from Cape Town, says his life has been "moulded by water". A former Olympic rower (in the 1984 team with Sir Steve Redgrave) who has also sailed for Great Britain in the Americas Cup, he moved from an Edwardian house in Putney to a Battersea Riverside Quarter flat with two terraces and panoramic views.
"I grew up in the area and since I was 13 I've been rowing at least twice a week on the Thames, so I know the river well," he says.
As Henley and the Masters Regatta approaches, his rowing regime increases to four times a week, on top of regular workouts at the development's on-site gym. "Living by the water is relaxing, even therapeutic. I jog down the towpath and in summer cycle with my daughters all the way to Richmond. The light is wonderful, always changing, and it's fascinating to watch the constant activity on the river."
Clive often uses the river taxi service from Riverside Quarter to travel to the City and Canary Wharf and to shows at the O2. "It beats battling through traffic in the car."
River commuting services
* Thames Clipper provides the main services which include Embankment to Canary Wharf, taking 31 minutes. It then goes on to Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, via Greenwich — an hour in all.
* There are also evening services, with the last ferry from Embankment leaving at 23.08.
* There is another service from Bankside to St George Wharf, Vauxhall, taking 12 minutes.
* Prices are £6 for a single journey (£5.40 with an Oyster Card), and passengers with a Travelcard get a third off, making the cost just £4.
* Thames Executive Charters runs services from Putney to Blackfriars, via Chelsea Harbour. The trip from Putney to Embankment takes 45 minutes and costs £4.50 one way, or £7.75 for a return.

text: Last year, the number of domestic-related homicides in Maine more than doubled to 19.In five of those cases, children were the victims.And, they were present when many of the other killings took place.Joy Hollowell begins a special report on how our state's youngest victims are affected by domestic violence and what Maine is doing to help. "I don't remember a whole lot because I was so young. But there are certain things that I do still remember in terms of certain situations where there was physical and mental harm going on." "Police ever called to your house?" "Yes."James Bell was only five years old when his mother decided to leave her abusive situation. She could only take James and his younger sister at the time, leaving two older brothers with their father. Less than a year later, James' 9-year old sibling would be dead.A jury would eventually find James' father guilty of murdering his son, he was sentenced to 35 years in prison. "To this day, he won't admit that he did it, which I think is a little messed up to be honest, just because of what he's put our whole family through. But, the thing that sucks the most for me, is the fact that I don't really have the memories with my older brother, which is kind of a tough thing so," Says James.James says he's had no contact with his father since the trial. He has lots of questions, but no desire right now to ask his dad for the answers. "It's kind of tough because, I mean, he's your father so I mean, he's kind of the reason you're in the world." Says James. "But at the same time, you think, why did he has to do this, it affected everybody in our family, it affected me personally, and that's something that's kind of tough to swallow sometimes."James admits he's gone through some rough periods, during his teenaged years and again just this past summer. But through it all, James relied on his family for support.As for his mom, James doesn't blame her for not leaving their dad sooner. Looking back, he says he now understands the situation she was in and the decisions she had to make. "Wow, my mom's incredible. She really is. She's the main reason that me, my brother and my sister are who we are. Without her, we wouldn't be what we are today," Says James.Today, James is a third year student at the University of Maine, majoring in finance. His sister is a freshman here.

Shikat Borage Dry Skin Therapy Facial Cleanser
Posted by Reviewer1531484 on Sep 14, 2011 | Verified Purchase
Great, mild cleanser that even washes off makeup and mascara (not waterproof). I have dry, agiing and sensitive skin (I'm 46) and I LOVE this cleanser. Does not leave a film nor does it leave your face feeling dry.
Shikai rocks

Have been using Shikai Dry Skin Lotion for at least 10 years. The cleanser leaves your skin moist yet thoroughly cleansed. This is an outstanding alternative to expensive cleansers and a little goes a LONG way.
Really cleans

I was worried that it might be a little dry, being a little foamy when used, but it actually does clean residue from my face without it feeling dry 5min after stepping out of the shower. I use it in conjunction with the dry skin therapy moisteriser. Works really well. Incredible iHerb delivery time too. Took only 4 days to arrive at my door in Perth, Australia!

This stuff is fantastic! I react to everything, but not to this! Not too drying, either. I use all the borage products from Shikai and love them.
Too foamy

I thought this was a cream cleanser! Turned out it was a foaming type. I dont think its appropriate for my dry combination skin. Will not repurchase
Posted by Reviewer2440388 on Jun 27, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Cleanser is better than most that I've used of store shelves; however, my face still shows minimal dry/ashy spots after I've used it. Once I use the 24 hr. repair cream I'm good to go. I'm not totally convinced that I would purchase again.

"Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build."

Unsure of our policies...
Normally, I'd link to the Wikipedia article when describing a "real" figure such as Circe in an out-of-universe perceptive for the Behind the scenes section. However, the article in question depicts a couple instances of artistic nudity (not surprising, considering the time period). Is this considered acceptable, or should I find a more child-friendly source? -- 1337star (talk) 19:20, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

When we launched TeamAhoy 14 months ago, we set out with an aim to improve the way that people work with their team, to keep track of what's important from week-to-week, and to help people communicate about what they're working on. TeamAhoy was used, and loved, by teams all over the world.
But, we knew that TeamAhoy could be far better, more useful, and make a bigger difference to the way people work. Our aim was to make something that was even better:
We took everything we learned from TeamAhoy, and built a product that does exactly that — it's called Busybot!
Busybot is a project management tool that works beautifully with Slack. It is the simplest, easiest way to assign tasks to your team members directly in Slack. But it has lots more features to power it up - like private tasks, recurring tasks, multiple assignees, subtasks, file uploads, commenting, unlimited labels, and much, much more!
We're super-excited that Busybot embodies the vision we set out to achieve. It improves the way that people work with their team, keeps track of what's important from week-to-week, and helps people communicate about what they're working on.
We recommend Busybot as the world's best, and most powerful, task management tool built for Slack! Give it a try today...

How many apples (did you eat)?
How many apples (does it take to make an apple pie)?
How many apples (were you able to buy)?
How many apples (were on the table)?
The Japanese matches:
How many apples are there (in the box/bag/etc.).
I added a few complete sentences.

The Department of Homeland Security has published guidelines already on June 15. There is a link on my website in the news section for the guidelines.

I would think it would be asking for trouble in the form of removal proceedings. The Napolitano memorandum on deferred action for DREAMERS states that deferred action may be denied if the applicant poses a threat to public safety, and I think your conviction would constitute such a threat.

Hello. Thank you for the question. To be clear: President Obama's deferred action policy is NOT the DREAM Act. President Obama's deferred action policy is a form of prosecutorial discretion that allows an individual to remain temporarily in the United States and apply for work authorization. It does not confer any kind of permanent residence, nor is it an amnesty. Under this program, deferred action would be granted for two year increments and would be renewable.
In order to qualify for deferred action, you will need to show the following:
1. That you entered the United States under the age of sixteen;
2. That you have continuously resided in the United States for at least five years preceding June 15, 2012 and are present in the United States on June 15, 2012;
3. That you are currently in school, have graduated from high school, have obtained a general education development certificate, or are honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States;
4, That you have not been convicted of a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety;

By IVES GALARCEP
The Portland Timbers ran their league-high unbeaten streak to nine matches this week, and no player had a bigger role in that streak continuing than Rodney Wallace.
The Costa Rican attacker had a major hand in both results for the Timbers this week, setting up the loan goal in Wednesday's draw vs. FC Dallas before adding a goal and assist in Sunday's win vs. Chivas USA. The performances helped make him the easy choice for SBI MLS Player of the Week for Week 11.
Wallace beat out teammate Diego Valeri, Seattle's Lamar Neagle and Montreal's Marco DiVaio for this week's honors.
What did you think of Wallace's performances this week? Which player impressed you the most in MLS last week?
Share your thoughts below.
Is this his second SBI pOW Ives ? Wow Rodney must be butter because he is on a roll.
Andrew Self
I'm not going to lie, I hoped that Wallace would go in the offseason. His performances in the last two seasons ranged from spectacularly bad (when he was played by Spencer as an outside back) to to "Meh." I don't know whether he's finally in his more natural position, or Porter has instilled something in him, or whether he's just eating his Wheaties, but he's one of the Timbers' bright stars right now. I'm selfishly not looking forward to the USMNT facing him in the upcoming Costa Rica WCQ.
Manny Campos
Bang Bang, Wallace the warrior!!
Makes you wonder how many other players like him are out there, and yet somehow the quality just hasnt shown through. I would love to know how Porter evaluates players, what he looks for.
Austin Nichols
I think will bruin was better this week
Having seen his Maryland team play live a couple of times, I made the draft day prediction that Wallace would be a better pro than teammate Omar Gonzalez. I'm having fun pretending that terrible prediction is still alive.
Wallace has been great recently. He had a few nightmares when played out of position by John Spenser and Gavin Wilkerson due to lack of investment in right backs. Rodney is a natural winger. You only need to see where he plays on the Costa Rican national team when he scored against the USMNT. Same people who turned on him in Portland are now doing the same with Kalif Alhassan another great tallent.
Surprised not to see Bruin in the conversation, but great week from Wallace. Totally deserved!
