I have no idea why Wilson Chandler was such a hot name around the trade deadline. Mediocre.

and on the final possession.....Dragic was standing in the corner for 15seconds before setting a high screen for D Wade who misses a 3.
heat had a 10 pt lead at the beginning of the 4th with dragic and wade sitting. the heat offense became stagnant and they dug themselves their own grave by going into foul trouble early.

Mitch Mcgary with 16 & 7 through 3 vs Portland.

liked him as a late 1st last yr but he went before we drafted Bogdanovic.
“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.”

surprised on the other board that the people there are taking dragic's side over wade. and my boy ajinca is doing so well (one of the few players i liked from the u-19 2007 FIBA tournament)

hassan whiteside has a nice touch around the basket. almost all of his points came of contested hook shots or power moves. wish len is given that same opportunity to post up and power his way to the basket.

Wilson's just been inconsistent. Maybe it's him, maybe it's Denver. Some night's he'll have 30, some he'll disappear, most he's average.

He's looking really, really good. Makes you wonder if (hope?) he was our target in a TOR trade.

The Suns supposedly liked the player Toronto drafted, Bruno Capoclo. If they really liked McGary, they should have just drafted him at 18 instead of trying to be cute.

Give Simmons a little time with Thomas. He may change his tune.

Russell Westbrook had to have surgery on his face after getting hit in the head during his last game vs the Blazers. He'll have to sit out for at least a game. Maybe that's a chance for us to catch up to OKC in the standings.

It happened on the last play again. Roberson basically kneed him in the face.

I think Westbrook is going to go down with another serious injury before the end of this season/playoffs. He is burning the candle at both ends, playing super hard and crashing to the floor so many times per game. I don't like the guy but I worry that he's going to mess up his knees/legs again and be out for an extended period next year.
