    Russell may be a ballhog. But he sure is fun to watch.

    Already seeing some ridiculous home cooking in this OKC-GSW game. Refs are doing their best to keep the Thunder from getting too big a lead in this first quarter, but angry Russ is on fire so far.

    This is freaking insane. I'm more impressed with what Russ is doing tonight than what CJ did in the first against Chicago.

    I get that Russ ignores his teammates at times....but to say he plays against his own team is a bit harsh. :cheers:

    If there's a bigger change-up in the NBA than going from Westbrook to Felton, I can't think of it.

    Yeah. CJ probably sitting at home thinking the same thing.

    Perhaps because they consider defense as well and since Thompson is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, that qualifies. That and being a very good '3' pt shooter. Sure his number have dropped since Durant showed up but he's no less of a player.

    Imagine PG on this blazer team. God damn we would be on a contender level just by having him

    He got selected over Paul George initially. Not a single rational reason for that choice. PG is better in pretty much every aspect

    I have always said this, I think he is over rated. He’s not an all star. Defenses don’t scheme against him. Give him his own team, I don’t think he could do much with it

    Draymond just threwWestbrook into the stanchion and hit him in the face. No call

    These refs are fucking awful.

    Draymond has shown repeatedly that he can do just about anything he wants (except to LeBron) and the refs/league just allow it. Very weak.

    Trash Warriors have been playing decent ball lately. I expected them to get destroyed by Jazz but they ended up only losing by 30. Nuggets needed miracle shot to beat them. And now they're within 13 of the Thunder team that is only on a four game losing streak. I've changed my mind. I think the trash warriors will make the playoffs. It would shock me, though, if they get out of the first round. They can't beat the teams that they'd be facing. But making the playoffs is a reward in and of itself. They have a lot to be proud of what with four All Stars and all.

    Paul George even for 1 year rental is the perfect player for the Blazers
