NBA Update

Going into last night's matchup between the Nets and Heat there was some trash talk between the two teams. Reggie Evans shared his opinions on LeBron James. James did his talking on the court as he lead the Heat to a 29 point victory. In three games this year, the Heat have outscored the Nets by 72 points. The game was close until the 3rd Quarter, where the Heat blasted Brooklyn. The fans at the Barclays Center went home disappointed. Miami has the best record in the Eastern Conference while Brooklyn is sitting at the fourth spot. San Antonio is on top in the Western Conference. The Lakers are still four games back for the 8th spot. The Grizzlies are six games back of the Spurs, and just recently made a huge trade. They sent Rudy Gay to the Raptors as part of a 3-team deal that includes them, the Pistons, and Raptors. 
The All Star teams have just been announced. Brook Lopez will take Rajon Rondo's spot for the Eastern Conference. Rondo tore his ACL and is out for the remainder of the season. There were some very notable snubs. Stephen Curry did not make the team, but his teammate David Lee is on the Western Conference roster. Marc Gasol is another player that did not make the team. It sure has been an eventful week in the NBA.
