6.5 GB difference from 5. (64-61) to 11. (57-67) and 12th (56-69) just 4.5 GB from 8th (60-64).
P.S. Great run from "sergios", after 5 losses to start the season (16-29), 7-1-1 in last 9 matchups (48-32).

Amare Stoudemire's knee is "taking longer than usual to get loose," sources tell the New York Daily News.
If anyone is surprised, they shouldn't be. Stoudemire has had chronic knee issues, and although the Knicks continue to list him as day-to-day, he's not expected to make his debut until 2013. Stoudemire's health will be a season-long storyline.
Eric Gordon (knee) went through a full contact practice on Monday.
The practice "went well," and it's a great sign that he was able to jump right back into practice on Monday. Gordon predicted he'd be back by the end of December, and as long as he doesn't have any setbacks, it sounds like Gordon should be ready to go right around the start of 2013.

The Knicks tried to trade Amare Stoudemire, who is still not ready to return from knee surgery, to roughly every team in the league this offseason, The New York Times reported Thursday.
An unnamed NBA executive told The Times that STAT was "available for free" and the paper reported the Knicks were ready to offer him up for Andrea Bargnani at one point. The offers were reportedly met with muted interest due to concerns over Stoudemire's contract, age and health. Although the Knicks and STAT have talked a good game about making this work, it's obvious the team is not sure how the former All-Star will fit in their lineup when he hopefully returns in late December.

Derrick Rose has been dunking for weeks, but let's stop the madness
He's not anywhere close to practicing or playing. There are those in his camp who don't think he should play at all this season, for a couple of reasons: first, and foremost, the Bulls don't have a championship-caliber roster, so why shorten the strength and conditioning period for his knee to drag them into the playoffs or an extra round or two deeper. Second, don't mask just how flawed this roster is by coming back and finishing up strong. (My second call-out of the week: where are all those trumpeting the last few years how the Bulls' success was more or equally about their defense and Tom Thibodeau's coaching over DRose being a one-man assault weapon? Or that there was more talent around him than some people realized? No offense to Thibodeau, who is a very good coach, but just how brilliant is he looking now? Or the suggestion the Bulls' defense was good in spite, not because, of Derrick? Defensive FG percentage, overall and from 3pt range, suggest otherwise. And then there's just watching and comparing the actual games, that antiquated means of assessing a team -- I know, I'm a dinosaur that way.) Of course, all of this could be trumped by Rose simply deciding his body feels good enough to return and refusing to wait a minute longer. That is a very real possibility -- the Bulls could be 11 games out of a playoff spot with 10 to play and Rose would still think he could find a way to lead them there, or kill himself trying. But any suggestions that he could come back before March, from what I'm told, is filling the fan base and everyone else with unrealistic hope that a championship run is still in the equation. This season will be worthwhile if, and only if, it convinces management not to exploit Rose's talent, refusal to complain and never-say-die attitude and accept that what they have around him right now is not enough.

Some kind of record: have not passed even 30 minutes and tommaso&nba has signed in:)
P.S.if anyone wonder: league is with 14 teams and everything is the same from last year,
18 teams in settings is just for possibilty for maybe few manaagers replacemants to be able to come bc they not played last year. And ofcourse this season week of playoffs final is 10 days before reg.season ends and with normal 7 days like should be in every other league.
