    Maybe someone should tell Batum that turnovers do not count towards triple doubles.

    Actually, they do count towards triple doubles or double doubles as well. Kobe had a double double against Sac last year with 50+pts and 12+ turnovers, the Lakers lost that game by about 10 pts. It was my favorite Kobe stat of all time and I wish I could remember the exact line he had..no other Laker touched the ball for 4 qtrs.

    Stotts should probably change that. Never have an offense that rhymes with a player who shoots too much.

    Loved Mo tonight. Very unselfish. Too unselfish even: he was so intent on setting up CJ that he passed up a shot he should have taken, giving CJ a tougher shot that he missed. He was also scrapping on defense in the second half. This is the Mo we need.

    CJ McCollum: NBA ready since draft day. So cool to see CJ hit those first three shots. No one would pass him the ball during his stint in the second half though. LaMarcus ignored him when he was set up and wide open, passed instead to Nico, who passed to Fropez, but his basket didn't count because of the three second call. Bummer.

    Also: TRob isn't the mindless black hole he was earlier in the season before the Meyers experiment. He's learned some.

    Kudos to the coaches for taking the time to develop the young players and get them on the right track.

    Right when Bayless came in and they were running down the court LMA swiped his elbow right across Bayless's nose. Wasn't hard, more like a bitch slap with an elbow but it looked intentional. A little bad blood between LMA and Bayless?

    Also Wallace and Batum were going at it pretty hard for while.

    My god that guy from Gonzaga is a ugly geeky fucker. No wonder Zags loves him so much.

    Denny looks like that captain of that pirate painted boat from that Deadliest Catch crab show on Discovery.

    Wallace/Batum makes sense. They did compete against each other for the start in Portland. I don't get the Bayless thing. Wait, yes I do. It's Bayless.

    And let's be honest here. If you were at a bar, and all you saw were Kelly's flowing locks from behind, you'd be thinking of a way to get those digits.

    So Denny and I ended up watching the game on his iPad at Tony Roma's. He and his wife were lovely.

    Replace the Bulls image with a silk screened wilderness painting of a Salmon or a wolf in the forest under a moon, and it's uncanny. Oh, and a cigarette.

    I don't know to be honest; I remember Clyde getting a triple double on Points Rebounds and Turnovers once, but I don't know if it was actually counted. That'd be worth looking up somewhere.

    I think it might be considered a "triple double" in the sarcastic sense. Trip Dubs are only counted in 5 categories. Points, rebounds, steals, assists and blocks. Not turnovers.
