Makes Westbrooks 42 in ONE season that much more impressive......especially when Kobe only had 21 and MJ 28 for their ENTIRE careers.

So because OKC is still struggling, you're going to go back and talk about stat padding from last season?
You know Westbrick will never go to the Lakers willingly right?
 
Allen Crabbe tonight...35 minutes...4 pts..2 boards..1 dime.....Pat Connaughton gives you more than that
 
How the fuck do we get Tobias Harris away from Detroit without giving up any of the big 3? He would make this team so much better and Detroit was on a 8 game losing streak before their win tonight.

The only thing Melo has over Tobias is name recognition. The man can play.

He's scoring in double figures most games, but yeesh. 40% from the field, 38% from 3. Some poor shooting nights.

Chili P is shooting 44/39 but on much less shooting.

Stan won't mess with this team...he's built the first really good Pistons squad since Larry Brown was coaching

He's been great for my fantasy team, he's awesome from 3. He's actually shooting a full 10% higher from 3 than his career avg this year so far. That's insane. I'd love to have him on this team but I think he's a main cog for them. I really wanted him and Oladipo from Orlando, but ah well.

I predicted after the trade that Crabbe's scoring would go up by a couple points per game, but his scoring efficiency would go down. He is who we thought he was.

I'd gladly take Aminu over Crabbe 1000 times out of 1000. This year Aminu is shooting a full 10 percentage points higher than Crabbe from 3 and, unlike Crabbe, he also gives you defense and rebounding.

Crabbe is still the same overpaid, inconsistent, 1-dimensional player he's always been.

The Roots are probably my favorite hip hop group to see LIVE. They are just amazing performers along with Outkast. Saw them together back in 97 or 98.

I don't give Westbrook props for that and neither should you. It's been analyzed as to HOW he gets 10 rebounds a game. It is NOT because of boxing out or working hard.

It's all because he's intentionally NOT closing out and his teammates let him get those boards.

Furthermore, Kobe, Jordan, pass? Yeah the fuck right.
 
Philly players all look exhausted. Westbrook still looks like the Energizer Bunny.
 
This Philly game.... Two Teams enter, One team leaves. Wow.
 
Am I weird for wanting VanGundy as our coach?

Also, watching this Philly/OKC game it’s pretty clear the Blazers are high-talent deficient

Qualifier: I don’t watch a ton of NBA outside Blazer games anymore

Van Gundy is awesome. He would be my first choice if we had to replace Stotts. And we have talent too. We beat OKC.
 
3 OT's and the coaches only substituted when players fouled out. Every coach seem to use this philosophy and I hate it. Player running on fumes bricking shots while fresh players are sitting on the bench. I am not saying sub them all out...but there has to be a couple of players who can come in and spell a couple of players.

Problem is, coaches don't know that the game is going into 3 OT during the first one. Same with 2nd OT. Always wanna have best players playing.

Leave your stars in but maybe add some energy off the bench from other players?
