He got it with 4 points, which may be the first triple-double without points in NBA history

Atlanta somehow gave up a 16-point 1/2-time lead to lose by one to the Kings.

Do any of you guys follow the Heat closely? What is causing them to have such a great winning streak lately? What has changed relative to the beginning of the season? Who is stepping up?

Dragic is playing extremely well. But really they have a great coach and they defend every possession like it is the last.

And Hassan Whiteside is having way in the middle.

Going from 11-30 to 24-30 is pretty interesting. They're close to being .500. Also, I know it sounds like a joke but Waiters is playing like Wade-lite. 21/5.5/4 over his last 10 while shooting 48% from the field. He's making $3M this year.

Zach Lowe discussed them in his latest column.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/1865 ... i-heat-nba
There next few games: @Philly, Orlando, @Houston, @Atlanta, Indiana, @Dallas, Philly, @Orlando.
Could they go from 19 games under .500 to .500 without losing a game? @Houston will be a tough one, but they've already beaten Houston during this current streak. They've also beat Philly, Atlanta, and Dallas

I don't think they can beat Houston without getting Waiters back.

Any of you guys watching Warriors/OKC right now on ABC? They are booing Durant every time he touches the ball. Warriors up 30-24 after the 1st qtr.

I could be watching NBA basketball. Instead I'm watching the Suns.

Westbrook leads all scorers, but Warriors have way better scoring balance (4 guys in double figures) and are up by 23 in the 3rd.

This. Nobody else even remotely matters to me.

It's starting to get a bit heated in the Warriors-Thunder game. Warriors are a much, much better team but there's enough emotion in the game to keep it watchable, despite the big margin

Seems like the Warriors have it well in hand, but the Thunder have come back to at least make it mildly interesting in the 4th. Westbrook with 40+ points and double-digit rebounds.

I just saw that. There is some question about the legitimacy of the account. We'll likely know soon.

I sincerely hope it has nothing to do with Eric Bledsoe and he was just resting tonight.
