Around the NBA (And Oregon High Schools) - January 2018

[Lukee]

I'm happy not seeing LA teams in playoffs this or next year.

I'm happy not seeing LA teams in playoffs this or next year.

Given the LA bias, I'm surprised the league doesn't allow them to combine rosters and have an A team and a B team so they can have at least one LA team in the playoffs.

Clippers could still make playoffs this year.

 

[Chris Craig]

Clippers could still make playoffs this year.

Eh...nah

Not after they trade Deandre and Lou

Not in the West.

I hope this "Slap and Grab routine" that seems to be going around the league ends soon. ESPN is probably creaming their jeans on how many exposes they can run about it. But damn, every five minutes I am hearing about how bad the relationship between the players and the refs is. "The violence is out of control!" Ugh.

The violence isn't out of control at all. The refs are handling it after it happens but lots of it can be prevented.

But notice, we don't say anything about the violence in a sport like Hockey where they LET you fight... Wonder why?

Because hockey is completely irrelevant and nobody cares about it at all?

That's not the reason but OK.

That's my reason. I don't speak for other people.

I guess Neil is sleeping

 

[BBert]

I'm surprised they didn't boot this guy out of the stadium!

That security guy is much more intimidating when he leaves his walker on the sideline.

 

[BBert]

THIS guy should be your hero FAMS

Is the I'm quitting gag getting too old yet?

 

[THE HCP]

Hope that video of me wasn’t misleading.

 

[handiman]

That's my reason. I don't speak for other people.

Actually, you do now that you're a mod.

When I first saw that video, I thought Hoodie Melo got traded to NOP.

You would never catch me doing something as stupid as posting a blurry photo of Melo.

Hilarious!

 

[Boob-No-More]

Yeah, that would be like the lamest thing EVER. Only a total loser with no life would do something like that.

Need a little help here. Stuck at work and wish I was home watching the OKC vs. WAS game. I just checked the box score and noticed Westbrook is 3-11 with only 6 points halfway through the 3rd quarter. He also has only 4 reb and 6 TOVs. With Wall out, that makes me curious who is guarding him, Is it Satoransky, Beal, who? Can someone watching the game let me know.

Thanks,
BNM

There are literally people every day on radio and on social media talking about his butt is in a sling. For his sake, I hope he isn't sleeping.

 

[Boob-No-More]

With 1:47 left in the OKC vs. WAS game, Paul George has 27 points in 13 FGA. Westbrook has 11 points on 13 FGA. It will be interesting to see if Westbrook tries to go hero ball in the 4th, or if he'll let PG13 get his shots.

[Boob-No-More]

Lots of close games so far tonight:

OKC up 1 on WAS
MIN up 2 on TOR
DET up 1 on CLE
ORL up 1 on HOU
NOP up 1 on SAC
DEN and SAS tied

Kevin Love broke his hand. Out 6 to 8 weeks.

LeBron's team for all star. Kiss of death

CJ for KLove?

LeBron is going to get Drummond on his All-Star team as a replacement. But sucks for his real team.

 

[H.C.]

OKC loses to Washington without Wall.

I think Portland did this didn't they?
Certainly look like a middle of the pack team. I've been told otherwise though.

Lol at OKC losing another close game. Paul George had 28 points on 14 FGA at the end of the third. He finished the game with 28 points on 14 FGA. Didn't get a single shot in the 4th quarter.

Great job Russ, way to recognize who has the hot hand and get him the ball!

Westbrook got his shots though. He finished with 13 points on 5-18 FG, including 1-5 in the 4th quarter.

Enjoying watching Stanley Johnson checking Lebron, and doing a very strong job of it.
