From the department of "Well, That Didn't Take Long," we're barely into the second week of the NBA season, and things are as predictable as falling leaves clogging your gutter.
First, Allen Iverson complained about coming off the bench -- after his first game with Memphis.
"I had no problems (with the hamstring)," Iverson told NBA Fanhouse. "I had a problem with my butt from sitting on that bench so long."
Is that the mentoring he talked about?
Meanwhile, no complaints yet for free agent-to-be Dwyane Wade, since Miami was 3-0 headed into Tuesday, but Chris Paul has filled the void. The Hornets are 1-3 and Paul has the NBA looking into two separate incidents involving him.
"Our biggest issue right now is we can't stop anybody," Paul said after Monday's 117-111 loss to New York, a game in which Paul appeared to hit Al Harrington.
The night before, Boston's Rajon Rondo got Paul fired up, reportedly reminding him of the ring he has and saying Paul will never win one.
Too bad he's not on the market next summer. Well, not yet.
