TSN Basketball Analyst Jack Armstrong offers up five thoughts on the NBA, including John Henson of the Bucks, Nick Calathes of the Grizzles and the Bulls Joakim Noah. Adidas NMD Womens Cheap . 1. ITS FRAGILE: Mentioned this Tuesday night on the broadcast. What a difference six-to-eight months makes in the NBA. Look at Indy - from contender to a losing team with some injuries and free agents loss. Look at Miami, Brooklyn and Charlotte - all playoff teams a year ago. And the Heat in the NBA Finals and now scuffling for playoff qualification. Tough racket. Enjoy the wins and take advantage when things are good and build on it. It doesnt last long, despite what you hope sometimes. 2. JOHN HENSON (Bucks): His numbers are modest (6-and- 3), yet hes a guy that I like due to his ability to change ends quickly and provide you lane intimidation. Not sure if hell ever be a starter but I like the role hes in right now for Jason Kidds second unit. It works. 3. NICK CALATHES (Grizzlies): Big game last night in a significant win over the Mavs, with 13 points, five rebounds and two assists. Hes a really physical, strong and athletic defender. He fits their style to a T. Really gives them a lift off the bench. Really impresses me with his will to compete and skill. 4. JOAKIM NOAH (Bulls): Love this guy. A winner! Has had his share of physical issues this year but wow - when hes out there hes a joy to watch. Tuesday night in a dramatic OT win at Golden State, he gets 18-and-15 and also chips in six assists. There are better post players in the league but few impact the game on so many multiple fronts as this man. Some of it you can quantify and other areas just watch him and his game just grows on you. Theyre lucky to have him. 5. OMRI CASSPI (Kings): Speaking of energy, another guy who simply grinds it out each game,running the floor, making hustle plays and energizing your second unit is this veteran. Yes, hes bounced around the league but he always finds a home because he out-works you. Knows his limitations and wisely plays within them. Survives by force of his work ethic.

Marleau got to the front of the net and backhanded a shot that sneaked in behind Enroth and was rolling over the line before Buffalos Matt Moulson swept it away.Initially called a goal that would have cut Buffalos lead to 3-2, the review showed Moulson got to the puck before it crossed the line.Gionta got the fans on their feet by breaking a 1-1 tie with 8:06 left, and 85 seconds after Burns scored.
