October 29 is the date when the NBA officially starts, and as of now, we are at the middle of the pre-season.
As of now, the NBA Europe Live tour is currently taking place; it began on October 9th and will end on October the 17th. Hosting countries are England, France, Germany and Spain.
The Heat is back at Miami after losing two straight games to the Nets in Paris (100-98) and London (94-92).
And yesterday, the Wizards fell to the Hornets 96-80 at Berlin. The second game of these series is coming on Friday when both teams are set to play in Barcelona.
The Wizards are playing without Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood as both did not made the trip to Europe, instead, Washington trusted other type of players like DerMarr Johnson, who currently has a non-guaranteed contract. Johnson came out of the bench and scored 19 points and 3 rebounds on the Wizards loss to the Hornets. But there is not a clear notion about Johnson’s prevalence of the team, as for him to stay among the 15-man regular season roster for Washington; he will have to beat veteran guard Juan Dixon and Dee Brown.
