Evan Longoria is staying in Tampa bay but to the surprise BJ Upton has moved on to Atlanta. He has agreed to sign with the Braves for 5 years 75 million dollars. With the loss of Chipper Jones to retirement, Atlanta was looking to replace his production in the lineup and feel they did with Upton signing with them. his righthanded bat will help even out the lefthanded lineup.
Facing his former team mates for the first time since his trade to Houston, Harden and the Rockets lost to the Thunder in Oklahoma City 120-98. Harden had 17 points but on 3-16 shooting.
The Knicks put their overtime loss behind them went on the road, where they haven’t played well and beat the Bucks in Milwaukee 102-88. Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks in scoring with 29 points and 8 rebounds in 30 minutes.

Upton to the Braves , nice !
No surprises , with the Thunder’s victory over the Rockets , as Harden and his teammates have now fallen back down to earth . They’re not that great a team . And since when has McHale ever been known to coach defense ?
Tophatal ………..
true, mc hale isn’t know to coach defense, but don’t forget last season he had Kyle Lowery and company that didn’t listen to him so they are gone…and by the way have you notice you don’t hear anything about Linsanity this season? Knicks look smart for not resigning the human turnover machine …Jeremy Lin
And to your mind the departure of Lowry will actually make things better for the Rockets as a defensive — force ?
