    And right on queue Westbrook with the 1 on 3 fastbreak pull up jumper brick. He would drive me NUTS if I was a Thunder fan. Makes amazing plays and then bonehead plays like that

    Speaking of Barton has he regressed again or is it lack of playing time, rhythm and flow?

    The refs simply weren't buying Harden's flops.

    Love it.

    When his flops stop working, he's just an average all star. The league should put stock on players that play the right way

    Luke Babbitt has been maintaining a 50+ 3pt shooting percentage...is he the next Kyle Korver? Seems that ever young guy we give up goes on to be good somewhere else, and everyone we keep never pans out.

    The difference with Babbit is he's actually able to rebound and defend. Up until now, Korver was a terrible defender.

    I'm rooting for Babbit, it's nice to see him do well

    every? You mean like Taurean Greene? Or Sebastian Telfair?

    Who is this "every young guy" that the team gives up?

    You know I'm watching the ATL game and I'm trying figure out what it is that makes them good and nothing really stands out. Then it occurred to me that their coach is a former Spurs assistant I believe and the may be set to just be efficient and get it done.

    Makes them tough to beat because they aren't reliant on a star to have a great night

    It's amazing for the regular season, but much harder to have success in the playoffs. You need clutch "go to players" to win in the playoffs.

    Yeah the 1998-99 Blazers had the same style of team. Amazing regular season team that even made noise in the playoffs. But when the times got rough, they didn't have a player they could through it to to get tough buckets

    I always loved (and hated) his "Eurostep". I swear he does it better than Ginobili.

    He's averaging 4 points a game... His stats this year are very similar to his last year with Portland. What are you talking about?

    Warriors are playing the Raptors tough. I sure would like the play the Warriors with both teams at full strength just to see where we are really at.
