    You’ll never guess what the NBA did this weekend? Go on. OK, I’ll tell you. Played (pre-season) basketball! And while the usual disclaimers about the pre-season apply, here are some the things that happened.

    The Good

    Ricky Rubio


    The Spanish point guard made a nice impression in his first NBA appearance. He did Ricky Rubio things, creating some shots for his teammates, as he compiled six points, seven assists and six rebounds in 23 minutes. More impressively, he inspired what might have been the first chant of “Ole, Ole, Ole” in the history of the State of Minnesota

    The Bad

    Jeff Green


    The Boston Celtics lost Jeff Green for the season after a medical found he had an aortic aneurysm. Fortunately, doctors believe he will be able to resume his career next season.

    The Ugly

    Dwight Howard


    The swirling trade rumours surrounding Howard didn’t help him or the Orlando Magic as he had five points and six rebounds in his side’s 118-85 drubbing at the hands of the Miami Heat (remember them!).
