I may sound like a big hater but I am not impressed as I should be with the Russ and Harden streaks they got going I mean these dudes are only behind Wilt in those categories and West just surpassed Wilt. My gripe is in the way they play and just how unappealing to watch it is. Harden takes 1000 dribbles and takes a step back 3, it's like watching people play 2K in park and Westbrook efficiency is just bad and they are being saved by the MVP performance of Paul George Harden averages 5.4 turnovers a game while Westbrook is at 4.6. Harden has taken 200 total more 3 pt attempts than the next closest person in Paul George. Harden has taken and made nearly 100 more FT attempts than the next person. Westbrook is shooting 41% from the field, 24% from 3 and 65% from the line My overall point is the numbers while popping out and are impressive, the shit beneath is crazy when you look in detail Especially when the playoffs come they seemingly forget how to play like that or they just get burned out afterwards. It's always the same story when it comes to Harden, George, and even Westbrook. Although to be fair Westbrook is more about hero ball than actually relating and making his team better.

So does Walton get fired after the Lakers get beat by the Hawks? I think Luke can be a good coach, but this Lakers team is a poor fit.

Spurs finally snap their losing streak before the All Star break. Hopefully White is back after the break.
Hell of a game coming down to the wire in Philly.

Sixers will never be about shit until Brett Brown is fired.
New Team, Monster Lineup, Same Shit, can't beat Boston AT HOME WITHOUT KYRIE. I'm sick of this.
Brand you want the f***ing FINALS? GET RID OF THIS ASSHOLE.

Isiah Thomas supposed to make his season debut for Denver tomorrow
As much as I may he isn't a star and joke about his big mouth and ego, if this dude plays at least average to the way his career has been, he makes Denver even more dangerous

A humbled Isaiah is still potentially a useful bench/6th man piece. That all depends on what he has in that hip though... I’ve long said, the second he loses even half a step he’s not an NBA player anymore.

I think he will appreciate this opportunity and not take it for granted because if he f**s this up its damn near over for him Coming back from 2 hip surgeries is tricky and he may be relegated to more a shooter instead of the driver/shooter he was

Anthony Davis somehow only put up 3 points and 6 rebounds. I didn’t watch, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say he currently gives less fxxxs than Dean Ambrose.

He’s also putting numbers that haven’t been since since Kobe and Jordan. Westbrook is on his third straight year averaging a triple double. I can’t hate once in a lifetime performances. And Sam Presti had them both at the same time smh. The ripple effect of that decision to back Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins over James Harden is still being felt today. And he could have kept Serge Ibaka and James Harden if he wasn't so dedicated to keeping Kendrick Perkins.

Klay Bennett’s cheap ass cost Oklahoma a chance at a dynasty.

They are basically playing him so they don't get fined by the NBA but it's pretty clear Davis doesn't want to play and NO is not going risk him getting hurt either

James Harden would not have developed into the player he became if he was still teammates with Brodie and Durant I disagree, I think that Scott Brooks would’ve at least turned him into a proto Bradley Beal, averaging 25 a night. Maybe not the mvp but still an all nba player.

James Harden would not have developed into the player he became if he was still teammates with Brodie and Durant His game would be somewhat different, but he would have developed just fine. He wouldn't have been MVP most likely, but he would still have become the offensive dynamo he is now.

Even without Oladipo, and with difficulty beating top teams in the East, the Pacers are third in the conference.
I'm just amazed.

If LeBron misses the playoffs I bet the playoffs become top 16 regardless of conference starting next year.
