^^^^and the debacle of timeouts against Rivers, and not getting replay call right because arbitrary 30 second limit on timeouts, and bogus 6th foul on Beverley.

Westbrooks criticism of Beverley defense is funny, since Harden was 0-6 with him guarding. But damn if Harden didn’t go from 34 points on a 3 to 47 points in like mere seconds. That was cool. And Kawhi I think wanted to cry after that steal.

I forget the guys name but some dude on the Heat is doing really well too.

In other news, I guess Portland is doing bad enough to sign Melo

Luka Doncic is the young Dirk.

11/19/2019 12:48:49 PM

other than being white and european, they have very different playing styles.

11/19/2019 2:47:33 PM

Probably the soul of Dallas Mavericks for the next decade.

11/19/2019 3:17:51 PM

Porzingis is more like Dirk as he's taller and plays power forward/center, Doncic plays guard like Nash. Very lethal combo.

11/20/2019 5:04:25 PM

Doncic should be fun to watch for at least the next 10 years

11/21/2019 1:08:44 AM

I heard that Lebron is the first to have triple-doubles against every team in the league

11/21/2019 10:09:38 AM

That doesn't mean too much to me. The roster of a team change every few years. Hornets 2019 is totally a different team with Hornets 2010. He's just not afraid of the culture of every city.

11/21/2019 10:17:25 AM

exactly. you took the words out of my mouth.

11/21/2019 3:02:49 PM

Yes,sir.

11/21/2019 3:07:07 PM

Rockets/clippers game was great. Just Westbrook could make open 3s!

11/23/2019 10:41:35 AM

Lakers is 16-2 so far, the best record since 2008.

11/28/2019 10:11:07 AM

And they've beaten all of 2 teams with a winning record!

11/28/2019 12:25:49 PM

Yes. They only lost to the championship team last season and the most improved team at the opening night away.
Unstoppable.

11/28/2019 12:41:37 PM

^ Stopped by Mav and Luka today.

On the other side, Harden scored 60 pts in three qtrs versus Hawks last night. It was a massacre. Harden averages nearly 40 pts per game so far. Ridiculous.

12/1/2019 8:27:28 PM

damn, luka s out there puttin up Harden numbers and he's just a soph. Very exciting.

12/2/2019 7:26:11 PM

Bucks has got the longest winning streak in franchise history since 1982.

12/3/2019 10:03:47 AM

I wouldn't say I'm LOVING the Westbrook experience

12/3/2019 11:44:52 PM

Fan: no one wants to see free throw shooting contest

Harden: no one wants to see fouls either, god dammit

Says the guy that gets like a quarter of his points from the line

12/4/2019 12:00:14 AM

11/38* from the field and 4/20 from behind the arc

but quick, someone boast about his true shooting percentage because he's good from the stripe

[Edited on December 4, 2019 at 1:35 AM. Reason : i'll give him 12/38 for the blown call on the made dunk]

12/4/2019 1:34:19 AM

It's pretty impressive to lose in overtime after outscoring the other team in regulation. Wouldn't be surprised to see the end of this game get replayed or for the rockets to get awarded the win outright.

Also, Harden just had the most efficient 60+ point game in NBA history, but you just conveniently ignore that.

Here's a good read for you Harden haters https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28214630/james-harden-greatest-scorer-nba-era

12/4/2019 1:52:19 AM

Harden is a great player, but tonight was one of the "worst 50 point games" imaginable

lol, right, they're gonna change the outcome based on a missed call with 8 minutes remaining in regulation


[Edited on December 4, 2019 at 2:15 AM. Reason : .]

12/4/2019 2:04:48 AM

It wasn't a missed call, it was the refs not counting a legally made basket and then refusing to allow the rockets to challenge it.

They have a legitimate case for a protest.

12/4/2019 2:48:55 AM

Harden had 50 on 38 fg attempts, still over a point per fg

Russ had 19 on 30 fga

I'll take Harden there

12/4/2019 7:06:25 AM

Raptors decided they'd rather play 3v4 rather then let harden go 1v1. It worked, Harden only had 23, only 2 shots in the first half.

However they were down by 10 at half, lost the game, Ben Mclemore had 8 3s, and the Rockets got 20 offensive rebounds.

12/5/2019 10:51:04 PM

TOTALLY WORKED!

12/5/2019 11:12:36 PM

Honestly I had a feeling Silver banned teams from trapping Harden every game all game because it wouldn't be exciting to watch. I just can't fathom coaches going into games thinking "We're going to make Harden beat us one on one" . I need an explanation for why he doesn't get more junk defenses.

jj will always have my respect. I watched him courtside many times at state. He's a legit competitor.

Fuck Chris Paul.

12/7/2019 2:12:46 AM

Now Bucks has the longest winning streak in franchise history since 1971, back to the ancient time of NBA. They are hot as shit.

12/10/2019 9:53:51 AM

I changed my mind, Harden ain't shit

12/11/2019 11:19:46 PM

Wish Jordan would have tried more 3’s in his day. Imagine if Harden was a DPoY candidate

12/13/2019 9:50:37 PM

Harden is a much improved defender, and an excellent post defender in limited opportunities. He's 3rd in the league in steals per game, tonight he had 2 steals and 3 blocks.

He still has lapses, but he is a plus defender

12/13/2019 11:32:52 PM

Lakers vs Bucks should be interesting

Streak ended by a Luka-less Mavericks team.

Good to see Porzingis getting more comfortable again. Made a couple 3s from the logo in Giannis' face.

Kobe, TD, KG and Bosh are heading to the HOF next yr.

Seems like non ideal for an all star guard to be on the bottom of that list, especially that far back, regardless of the other names.
