General game-day thoughts/comments

[Patr1ck]

Eric Bledsoe had a couple sick blocks last night. One after his turnover which was a Chase down, and another off verts on LeBron under the hoop. Kid has got some ups.

[Oznogrd]

Also the fans everywhere boos Bron and Heat seem to have become a common enemy to everyone. Even it motivates Bron and cos, this hate thing's really getting old. Has this type of on going hate by fans ever happened before in the NBA?

Never watched pro wrestling have you? The entire "sport" is based on this.

We did it to Eric Gordon at Illinois. He verbally committed to us then went to Indiana. We gave em so much hell that people wrote columns based on it.

This happens all the time with any sport and diehard fans/bitter rivals. Everyone loves to unite against a common hatred

Like Psycho T. Fuck Tyler Hansborough.

That's why I wholeheartedly disagree with the folks who claim Cavs fans and anyone else who disliked the way LeBron handled his free agency need to shut up and get over it. As I've said before in other threads, we tend to wring our hands and bemoan the lack of rivalries and truly passionate fans these days, then when there's something for a lot of people to sink their teeth into and give a damn about (in the context of being professional basketball fans) we should all let it slide? No way, as Oz said this is what passionate sports fans do.

Watching the Magic/Thunder game now. Terrific block on Krstic by Howard and a great alley-oop from Nelson at the other end. No doubt clips will be up on YouTube before the day is out.

I rofled at Darko's jump ball screw-up.

wow... 2:30 remaining in the regulation and the Heat down by 30. This is alarming. Where the fuck is defense?

Been an awful road trip for the Heat... Just one more to go but probably the toughest challenger, the Bulls...

Rick Kamla tweeted a pretty funny thing that Steve Kerr said about Miami being blown out by the Nuggets:

"I'm sure everybody feels sorry for them."

[Lightning Strike]

Denver's 2nd 130+ point game in a row. I just can't figure this team out, I really struggle to understand their identity, but then again so do they with all of the Carmelo distractions going on. They lose winnable games and it feels like they just don't show up to others, then on other nights they can absolutely pour the points on and look like the elite team they've been in the past.

Couldn't help but smirk at Lebron, after that tweet the Heat lost to the Clippers and then he missed the game against the Nuggets where his team got trounced. I guess his words hold true.

What happened, for those who didn't watch whatever game that was?

With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.

You think Superman can just go all out willy nilly while boning Lois?

Darko is so laser-focused he has to remember when to turn off his sheer dominance lest his other level understanding of physics results in such miscues.

[koberulz]

That is awesome.

[benji]

The best part is him standing there motionless at the free throw line tipping it in WITH HIS MIND.

I think we know who should be the lead for MIND QUAD!

I loved that thunder game, even though i'm a magic fan, i loved the win by the thunder, the thunder are 7-0 in nationally televised games. Shoot it out Jeff Green! Tnt also said that, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green are the highest scoring dual in the nba.

[buzzy]

Tnt also said that, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green are the highest scoring dual in the nba.

It's Durant and Westbrook with 50,7 PPG. Not far behind is Wade & James with 50,3 PPG.

[Valor]

Now we know Lebron was right for once. Karma is a bitch, as we can see in the immediate two games after he sent that tweet (and subsequently tried to deny doing so)

Let the streak continue

[Andrew]

That is awesome.

Second.

[Houndy]

Mavs need Beaubois. He would shine right now if he didn't jack up his leg.

[Lamrock]

They could use Dirk as well.

[kibaxx7]

And that makes 14 straight wins at home for Timmy D & friends.

[Lightning Strike]

Spurs are absolutely rolling.

I'm glad Bulls came back to beat the Heat, giving the C's a better chance at that number 1 Eastern seed.

There's 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and the Nuggets are leading the Cavs by 35 points, if the 4th quarter stays true then the Cavs are going to have another 40+ point trouncing on the boards and we might see Denver score 130+ points in 3 games in a row . I feel so sorry for genuine Cavalier's fans.

[Martti.]

When the Big 3 got together, my nephew, the biggest Bulls fan, wanted D-Wade to got there and I jokingly said that when they meet, I'm sure Kyle Korver, who I wanted to go to Miami, would hit a game-winner over Wade. It wasn't over Wade 2night, but your favorite player knocking down a game-winning shot against your favorite team hurts.

[Martti.]

Korver's got it going! 4-4 from range.

[Doobie]

Blake has 28 points in the first half against the Pacers. Gotta keep an eye out on that one.
