    No surprise that Harden got PotW this week, but noticed this little tidbit in the press release.
    I know everyone hates Harden and the Rockets, but I'm kind of rooting for him to accomplish that feat. He's basically 60 points shy of having a point-per-minute for the season. With 8 games remaining, and assuming he continues to average 36.5 mpg, he'd need to score 352 points in 292 minutes, or basically average 44 ppg the rest of the way. Not likely, but it'd be pretty cool to see.

    Would it be better if I said, "I hope Harden goes full ballhog the next 8 games to try to reach that milestone, and causes the Rockets to lose 3 or 4 games in the process"?

    It's a sliver better BUT we want them to lose every game and I don't want Harden to get any sort of scoring record.

    I do hate his beard, it's just nasty looking. However, I'd hate myself then if I hated beards.

    believe it or not:

    "Pogonophobia - the irrational, persistent and often unwarranted fear of beards. The word is derived from Greek pogon (beard) and phobos (fear). Mothers often warn their daughters to “never trust a man with beard or facial hair unless he is Santa Claus”. In the United States, there has not been a president with a beard since the 1800s. The fear of beard or facial hair on other people can cause a great deal of anxiety to a Pogonophobic. This can severely affect his/her health and mental wellbeing."

    I can see the signs in the Moda right now!

    No wonder I didn't follow. That means absolutely nothing to me.

    Memphis off to a good start against OKC. Hopefully they can finish them off.

    Did anyone notice that Duck Tyler Dorsey led Memphis with 39 minutes in the upset of OKC? Had 21 points, 8 rebounds and five assists. I think all three of those Ducks nave been good second round picks. I think the thing that makes them all special is they all play with such intensity.
