Howard is fined $15000 and KG is suspended.

Soft motherfucker

"Whatcha gonna do ? " - Gets a headbutt right in his face the very next moment


I had nothing against Howard and I actually thought people got him wrong for a while but after I saw this it was a different story :

A 6 foot 11 athletic center , wide open with the basket and he jumps like his shoes were filled with metal

Mo Williams with 52 points against Pacers. He made a couple record iirc, most pts scored by any Wolf inc kg, love, etc, also most points scored in bankers place.

Mo was poppin those jumpers off the dribble and quickly. It was almost a quiet 52 as he was shooting mostly jumpshots, and at a high percentage. I wonder what was on his mind as he went into the game. IMHO, it hasn't been hyped enough as he brought his team back, hit the dagger 3 to put them up 6 with 1:29 to go, then finished them off with freethrows.

That Garnett-Howard fight

As much as I enjoy seeing the elite scorers have big nights, it's also fun to see unlikely players go off for 50+. Reminds me of Corey Brewer scoring 51 for the Timberwolves late last season.

You know, to be fair, he remains to be the best PG LBJ ever played with (outside international stages).

Probably, though I still wouldn't have expected him to ever score 50+ in an NBA game.

Last night's game in Houston gotta be enough to make the Thunder fans resentful about haunting Harden trade. I believe it came down to either Ibaka or Harden in their final moment of the decision and it's clear who is the better of those two now. Actually Harden is having nearly the MVP caliber season and is outplaying both Durant and Westbrook. That so called steal of the Harden trade, Lamb, is on the trade block as well, lol. Reggie Jackson has showed some promises and is similarly in Harden's shoes from back then. Gonna be fun to see what happens with him in OKC.

I also told you guys that Waiters is going to shit. How hard was it to tell he is a shitty player ffs. Further proved that their front office isn't as "Smart" as promoted but rather lucked into Durant.

You have an axe to grind with OKC management, mr. hyperbole? Smart n lucky had some great drafts, including your boy Reggie Jackson

Obviously the harden deal is biting them in the rear. How many people predicted harden becoming an elite player? Maybe if OKC was a big market team with an owner with an open checkbook and the players chose to participate in collusion , harden never leaves

Why did their management gave Ibaka a max contract first before Harden?

Just because you didn't know how good he was(and his potential), it don't mean rest of the world didn't know jack about him.

I'm sure no expert and I'm sure a lot of people were in the same boat with this harden thing. Yeah even Rodney white had some great projected numbers. Go asked benji about it

Its Revisionist historian if anyone is going to claim they knew he was going to be THIS good.

But hey, maybe you need to quit your day job and become a nba gm. What fun is it to say I told you so at the nlsc forum and not be paid for it?

Perhaps you need to avoid jumping on a sinking boat with 'a lot of people' for once in your life. Harden wasn't about 'projected numbers' but already had put up elite numbers well before the trade, thus the instant max pay by his new team.

Thanks for the life lesson. have a fine evening, sir

Wow this escalated quickly. air gordon, don't get all butthurt. It's just opinions and other people's perceptions. You disagree with them OK, but no need to walk away like a dog with its tail between its legs.

So, Westbrook had 17 points, 15 rebounds and 17 assists against the best team in the NBA today (minus Iguodala + Bogut, admittedly). Decent effort

Crazy numbers indeed.

On a side note, his usage is nearly reaching 40% which could be the highest ever in 3pt era. He's making Kobe look like a passer.

No need to go off there buddy. It's between us, air whordie and I do this all the time. There can never be agreement between us yin and yang.

The Thunder didn't play the Pistons.

so that's what you call butthurt? r u Dwight?

Anyways, Westbrook killed the Warriors.

This Grizz-Blazers game!

You are starting to post some good stuff, generic guy.

Hawks still rolling. Just imagine them grabbing the No.1 seed.

Three straight losses for Portland, albeit all against good teams that almost always beat us. Last year's hot start was due to incredible, unsustainable shooting - this year it was due to the easiest schedule in the NBA. Nonetheless, I expect 55 wins and an easy division title. Hopefully when Lopez comes back there will be no more major injuries!

Would not be opposed to adding some firepower off the bench. Steve Blake and Chris Kaman are great, but I'm ready to call C.J. Mccollum and Thomas Robinson busts.

Batum has serious issues going on with his game. I want to see him be rested until the All-Star break. He is playing like garbage with all those nagging injuries.
