Dang! Looks like I missed an awesome game. THIS is also why I am all for the top 16 teams going to the playoffs. Those teams deserve to be there, and it would be so exciting to watch AD/KD/Beastbrook.
Too bad there's a limit in players salaries, because when AD becomes a rfa, i would throw like 150mil at him and wait for NOP to shat their pants.
After the Lakers game last night I watched the Hawks-Warriors game. How fun was that? Two great teams going after it t** for tat. The Hawks are a lot of fun to watch with their ball movement and unselfishness. Then I watched the 4th quarter of the Pelicans-Thunder game (Playoffs implications). That Anthony Davis guy is out of this world! Unbelieable game and then to end it by hitting the game winner was crazy. His shot to win the game reminded me a ton of Kobe's game against Portland in 2004. The 3 to send the game into over time and then the fallaway 3 to win the game. Very fun night in the NBA for fans
I did the same Battle Tested - great night of basketball. Anthony Davis is unbelievably good. So bummed he got hurt tonight. Hope this doesn't keep him out of the All Star Game. Warriors are really fun to watch. Their back court are just phenomenal. Klay, Steph and AD - those are incredible young players that give me great hope for the future of the league. I love that they aren't steroid guys like Lebronze - just remarkably talented basketball players.

Clippers DO complain a lot, and I'm glad there is some press now about how everyone in the league thinks that.
I love it. I love it love it love it. I want that team to fail more than I want any other team at this point to fail. Except maybe our own...
Only 3 of their next 15 are easy games. It's going to be very fun watching their implosion. It will largely depend on just how long Blake is out. I've seen anything from 10 days to 6 weeks. Next 15: DAL (2X), HOU (3X), SAC, GRIZZ (2X), CHI, MIN (2X), POR, GS, OKC They got murdered on the glass without Blake, that'll continue. Should be fun to watch them put themselves in prime position to get swept out of the 1st round.
I love that KD isnt afraid to talk trash to the other stars in the league. I'm tired of this friendly, all smiles thing nowadays. I didn't like seeing Kobe and Lebron laughing it up the last game they played together. Old kobe would have had none of that.
Holy crap that schedule of games looks tough.... All the better! Haven't look at the standing but can they fall out of the playoffs?
^ if Blake is out awhile, it's definitely a possibility. They're 6th and only 6.5 games removed from the 10th spot. NO and OKC are currently outside looking in, but both have playing better ball in 2015 and with the Thunder healthy...Clippers might need to get very lucky with deadline move or post deadline signings.
ohmanohmanohman... if the Clippers fell out of the playoffs I'd throw a small elegant luncheon at my house for close friends and family.
this is the kind of person I had hoped KD would turn into years ago. 2-3 years ago I used to say that KD had the talent but lacked the aggressiveness at times in his game and swagger to take him to the next level. I am glad he is no longer always trying to be the nice, polite person. I'm not saying you have to be like Kobe the killer and competitive legend, but show some grit and talk a little.
Kyle Korver is #2 in 3PM. Curry and he share that #2 slot. Wesley Matthews is #1 with 2 more makes. What's insane though is Korver's percentage. He's #1 in 3P% at 53.1%. The next best is Courtney Lee at 46.0%. That is a 7.1% difference. The difference between Kyle Korver (#1) and Courtney Lee (#2) is the difference between #2 and #34 (Wayne Ellington). If Korver were to go 0/1 for every game for the rest of the season, he would still be #1 in 3P% at 48%. If Korver were to go 0/2 for every game for the rest of the season, he would be #7 at 43.8%.
my order would be lakers, then the cavs, then the clippers. although it really is a toss up between which of those last 2 teams i want to fail more
