<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>1. Kings Just Go Out And Win</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
Mike Monroe writes on FOXsports.com that "Chris Webber has joined the list of Sacramento's walking wounded," which means Vlade Divac "is looking at logging minutes more suited for a 25-year-old than a 35-year-old." Luckily, the Kings have weathered significant injuries this season, and somehow "amassed a 24-9 record, third-best in the entire league." The amazing part is "the Kings just go out and play, regardless of which players are able to suit up," adds Monroe. <br>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>2. Hawks Claim Terry Is Not On Trading Block</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
In the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, Jeffrey Denberg writes that Hawks general manager "Pete Babcock said yes Sunday" when asked if the Hawks would "trade point guard Jason Terry if it would improve the team." However, a trade involving the "fourth-year guard from Seattle" seems unlikely because the team and Babcock are not "looking to deal Terry," adds Denberg.<br>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>3. Big Toe Slows Down Shaq, Lakers</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
Howard Beck writes in the LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS that Shaquille O'Neal "might not admit it, and teammates might not want to talk about it, but opponents say his game just isn't the same." Since returning from toe surgery, Shaq looks like he's "lost his former explosiveness" and "simply can't elevate as he once did," adds Beck. <br>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>4. Numbers Behind Nets' Winning Streak Impressive</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
In the NEW YORK POST, Fred Kerber writes that the "Nets easily are basketball's hottest team." New Jersey has won nine consecutive games and during the "impressive" streak has "outscored opponents by a shocking 17.2 points per game (102.0 to 84.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ," adds Kerber. <br>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>5. Tinsley Pacers Only True Option At Point</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
In the INDIANAPOLIS STAR, Mark Montieth writes that the "bottom line is that Jamaal Tinsley is the only point guard -- the only true point guard -- the Indiana Pacers have." That is why head coach "Isiah Thomas has no choice but to be patient with his second-year floor leader," adds Montieth. <br>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>6. Sixers' List Of Problems Keeps Growing</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
Phil Jasner writes in the PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS that it "wasn't just a road trip for the 76ers; it was a total misadventure." After a dismal 1-4 swing through the Western Conference, the Sixers return home for tonight's game against the Indiana Pacers." Overall, the Sixers have suffered "10 losses in their last 14 games and two games -- Utah and Dallas -- in which they never had a chance," adds Jasner. <br>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>7. Pistons' Reid Making Rapid Recovery</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> In the DETROIT NEWS, Chris McCosky reports that the "news releases and the Pistons' own media notes say Don Reid will miss the entire season." After all, Reid "had surgery to repair two separate ruptures in his left Achilles tendon Oct. 22." However, "if you know Don Reid, you know not to bet against him." So far, Reid's "rapid progress to this point has to qualify as amazing," writes McCosky. <br>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>8. Jordan Can Still Score With The Best</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>
Steve Wyche writes in the WASHINGTON POST that Michael Jordan's 40th birthday is just a month away, and now more than ever, the superstar knows "it isn't as easy to put together back-to-back stellar performances." Jordan hopes the "Boston Celtics tonight may provide" another opportunity. The Wizards "who beat the Celtics by 45 points on Halloween -- will try to reach .500 for the first time since they were 6-6 on Nov. 22," adds Wyche.<br>
