The lakers lost to OKC for the same reason we did; didn't make their open shots in the 4th.

Tony Parker out indefinitely. Should help us tomorrow esp since the Spurs play tonight against Clippers. Who are you rooting for tonight? I'm rooting for Spurs.

With or without Parker or Aldridge, Spurs will be going after it tomorrow night. I cannot believe they will want to fall behind 3-0 to the Blazers.

I can't figure out whom to root for tonight. If Spurs lose and we beat them, we're only a half game behind them. But if Spurs win, it keeps our record better than Clippers which we need for HCA in first round.

 

[KingSpeed]

Duncan and Ginobili probably won't play tomorrow either because it's second night of back to back. Will be a very interesting game. I wish there was a thread for it. Darkwebs, where are you?

D-League flopping rules involves video replay at next stoppage, with technicals then to be assessed (or immediate review in last 2 minutes).

Good! It'll never make it to the NBA, too many millions would be wasted away in the 1st quarter after all the technicals.

Wow. Oden was +13 in 5 minutes last night.

Sounds like those 5 minutes rocked your world!

He stood under the basket and watched it go in for his team! YAY!!!!

Babbitt just hit a three

Babbitt playing decent D on Melo

Sure but afterwards he was a limp +6 for like three hours.

Ah. I see what you did there.

Batum is becoming so predictable -- passing up open shots for a pass.

And most of the time he passes up the better shot than his "created" shot for the teammate.

Westbrook back, and OKC's offense bogs down. I wonder if it was a good thing or bad thing that Durant was able to do what he wanted when Westbrook was out. I can see some upcoming tension if they don't get things worked out. I also think Westbrook again came back too early, and is headed to Roy-ville. You'd think other teams would learn from Roy's experience.

Miami beats OKC 103-81. Westbrook with only 2 assists to go with 4 turnovers.

No Oden tonight after 5 solid minutes (+13) against Dallas. Is he hurt again?

They'v only been playing him a few games a week. Nothing really injury wise has come up that they'v reported. You would think that he would start getting more consistent minutes soon since all they cared about was him being in shape to give them meaningful minutes in the playoffs.

Westbrook also came back without practicing and to soon. It'll take him a few games to get back into the groove of things but I don't think there will be great tension this year, now if they don't' even make the WCF then it will be an interesting summer for OKC.

I think they're alternating games for Oden to ease him in. Westbrick strikes again!

 

[santeesioux]

I think i read that Westbrook didn't even practice once before playing in this game too since coming back from the injury. Who does he think he is, Allen Iverson?

Doesn't surprise me. Doesn't strike me as really a team-first guy.

Raymond Felton also told reporters: "Stop trying to attack my weight all the time. I had one year that I was out of shape. That was it."

So his chubby out of shape self has gotten to the point where its the "norm" and its only when he is straight up fat that he considers himself out of shape? Noted.
