I'm not disagreeing with you about the Lakers being on national TV too much, their lineups in recent games have to be the worst in the NBA other than maybe the Knicks and Sixers. I mean a starting lineup with Sacre, Ryan Kelly, Ellington and a washed up Boozer? Jeez...it's ugly. Clarkson's the only watchable one.

Surprised the Celtics aren't on national TV more, figured teams like them and the Lakers get at least a dozen games a year just cuz of how popular they are.

But yeah I really hate watching this team right now so I can't imagine how non Lakers fans feel.

I dont even like watching the Celtics play teams like Philly or NY. Fucken Jonas Jerebko will look like Dirk in those games and get idiot Celtics fans hyped, then we play real teams like the Cavs and Warriors and hes a non factor.

lol Jonas Jerebko is such a squid, he's been going on some hilarious runs

There it is: Russell Westbrook ... first player with four straight triple-doubles since Michael Jordan in 1988-89

The run he's been on lately is incredible. He won't win the MVP cuz the Thuder likely won't finish in the top 6, but with all the injuries OKC has had, he's probably been more valuable than anybody this year. Thunder would have a Lakers like record if it wasn't for Russ.

Thunder/Sixers in OT right now but it's not Westbrook's fault that's for sure. Watching the game before Blazers/Clippers start, Westbrook just had another amazing play, OKC up 5 now with a little under 2 mins left.

Glad the Lakers lost, it was too close though.

Russ is unbelievable wow

 

Mar 4, 2015

That is just ridiculous. 4 triple doubles in a row are you kidding me

5 dribbles from the baseline extended. Chriiiiiiiist.

d---

If there's ever a game where both teams deserved a loss, I think that was it lol. Very ugly game.

DeAndre Jordan really choked it away more than anyone, missed a dunk in OT, didn't even attempt a layup when he got the board at the rim with less than a second left and missed 6 straight FTs in the 4th.

Batum came through, Dame was awful shooting but had like 17 boards or something...d---, crazy game.

Everyone shi--ing on LA but they're still not the worst team in the league tbh. They've had a lot of close games with good teams :sean: still hope they lose out though so they get the first pick. Hopefully they keep Clarkson so it'll be him Randle and Jahlil the future

 

Mar 5, 2015

^Dude it's the Lakers though, is a team and fan base that's used to titles really gonna be happy about being 28th in the league or whatever?

Anyways this stat amazes me.

Russell Westbrook has 4 triple doubles in his last 4 games. The Knicks have 3 triple doubles in the last 12 years. (via @TommyBeer)

This one's not quite as amazing but kinda interesting.

Heat band-wagoners are officially leaving...the Heat twitter account has lost nearly 300,000 followers since LeBron's announcement.

All these buzzer beaters are gonna s--- when we end up drafting #10/11 instead of 7/8

 

Mar 5, 2015

@NerdNumbers: DeAndre Jordan deserves consideration as MVP. Likely won't get it sadly.

Lmao.

Guy is r-----ed, would love him on the Celtics though.



edit: btw does anyone watch Pac-12 hoops on ESPN? Bill Walton is losing his mind.

 

Mar 5, 2015

I was actually talking about the Westbrook play lol, but I totally agree it was a crazy game. The hack-a-jordan is a cheap tactic, but hey, learn to s---t free throws. Youre a professional.
Clippers a bunch of whiny a--- b------s. I wonder if Cliff Paul got in trouble a lot as a kid with Chris complaining to mom all the time


*edit
..and austin rivers
what a f---ing joke. Christmas will be a little awkward in the Rivers' house after dad has to cut him. No hard feelings son.

Yahoo Sources: Wesley Matthews tears Achilles, out for season. http://yhoo.it/18nkivl

*edit*

Matthews told reporters on Thursday night that the Achilles tendon had been "bothering him" before it tore. The Blazers were on a back to back.

Kobe tore it on the 2nd night of a back to back as well, he played 48 minutes the previous night and had played the full game up until that point in the 2nd game as well. Maybe these coaches need to be a little smarter on back to backs although I expect the NBA to get rid of back to backs soon.

 

Mar 6, 2015

In the slow-mo close up you could actually see it snap. Sad day.

agree about the back-to-backs. It would be interesting to see how many major injuries have occured on that 2nd night

It's still Wade's house!
