Russell Westbrook is OUT OF THIS WORLD right now. Did anyone catch his performance tonight? His 4th consecutive triple double with ungodly numbers.

I am pretty amused by that. It was reported that he refused to go to Bakersfield for us. I wonder if Riley is just really persuasive.

I kinda feel bad for the Heat. I think there is a pretty decent chance that Goran will leave them this summer.

Isiah Cannon with 31 in an OT loss to the Thunder.

He had been dreadful in his 1st handful of starts. (Ish Smith is there backup)
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

If the Heat went 0-82 I wouldn't feel bad for them after there last 10 years.

I loved Channing Frye, but anybody claiming that we should have matched his contract is looney tunes. He sucks this year. Been injured, and when he has been on the court, his production is paltry. He had 4 points tonight on 1-4 shooting, and 0-2 on threes. Horrible contract. NOT that we should have signed IT, but still, matching Frye would have been a horrible choice.

sacramento, utah, milwaukee, orlando are some of the options for dragic. or he could take less money and sign with a playoff team.

IT's looked awful good in Boston. Wish we'd have been able to get more than the #29 pick in next year's draft for him.

this "points guard" took 33 shots in 42 minutes and his team almost lost to the worst team in the league in overtime.

If 49 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists aren't impressive to you, you're insane. If 4 consecutive triple doubles, the first player since Jordan in 1989 is just ho-hum, I don't know what to tell you. Keep looking at it in the context of your envisioned ideal PG and telling yourself he's inadequate though.

What I really admire about him is his tenacity. He doesn't ever seem to take plays off on either end of the floor. It's impressive with how many minutes they play him. He's sort of the anti-Harden. Unfortunately this makes him a bit of a dick & fairly unlikable. I wonder how Durant will take to being Scottie Pippen though?
Go Suns!

I think as long as things progress this way the rest of the year, and they make the playoffs, he wins MVP. And it has been something like 50 years since the last time teammates won MVPs back to back.

If a guy is making about 50% of his shots, he can shoot 30 times. What the hell; he's getting to the FT line, too.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I sometimes forget... It's SDC.. Not sure why I get worked up or even respond.

It would be like me walking up to a homeless man lying in his own filth and asking for his advice on hygiene.

That's way to harsh, even for him. It's more like asking a troll to think about your viewpoint objectively.

Exactly. The way I think about it is, if you are scoring more points than shots taken, you should keep shooting.

Where is the humor in that analogy? It's Thursday. Cursing the world that it isn't Friday, I choose to be harsh in my analogies today. At least once anyway.

Agreed. I can't even spell "too" properly because it feels like it should be Friday already. Tooday should be Friday.
