    Yep, and the T in response. That was totally playing up to the crowds by the refs.

    Uh-oh--Lebron's only 10-17 this game. gonna need to be careful in the 4th or he'll lose his 60% streak.

    By the way, does anyone else take pride in the fact that the Heat's visit to Portland is still Lebron's only game under 20 points all season, and also the only time all year he's shot under 40% in a game?

    did you see where Westbrook pulled a Andre Miller (on Blake Griffin) on Chalmers in the 4th?

    Sadly no--the wife came home from work and took over the TV (no argument since the Blazers weren't playing, and she hates Lebron).

    Probably a good thing though, since I already despise Westbrook--seeing something like that might have put me over the edge...

    Garnett going to retire? He's saying this year will definitely be his last. I might miss him. He's one of those players you love to hate.

    That was a weird game. He wasn't looking to score. Very passive.

    DeAndre or Dwightmare?

    Btw, Dwight looks like he lost A LOT of mass in his upper-body.

    The looming HGH testing -- is he off the stuff? It sure looks like it.

    Hes been very public about pointing out to everyone that he's playing through injuries this season. That said, I think part of what is ailing him is a bad back, which isn't a good sign for his future either.

    The Bucks and Kings have the longest streaks without an NBA All-Star representative- 9 seasons each

    Wow, that would actually be a very logical and beneficial trade for both parties. You don't see too many of those anymore.

    Really, KG is almost done and Jordan has gotten better every year.

    Wow... imagine Boston if they trade KG for Bledsoe and Jordan, then turn around and trade Rondo for D12. Not bad.

    Well, the Clippers would be giving away a huge piece of their future if they go through with this deal, but they'll avoid the inevitable near-MAX payday that DeAndre Jordan is going to want. I've never really been a fan of his game either. He's fun to watch with his power and athleticism, but that's really still all there is to his game. His young age, his physical prowess, and his rebounding numbers will ultimately lead to him being overpaid though.

    If the goal is to win a title, then KG is a better option, in the present. You can plan for your future to a certain degree, but it's not like Blake Griffin and Chris Paul are old timers. This move would improve their chances of winning this year and help their cap situation in the long run at the same time.

    Jordan and Howard on the same team? How would that work?

    @Aldridge_12 already has 26 double-doubles, 2x as many as he had all of last season
