THUNDER STORM IN LA



THE FACTS: In true All-Star fashion the game started with a flurry of flashy passes, 3 point shooting, slam dunks, and alley-oops. The players were having fun early on, but the game still stayed closed and competitive. The West did finish the 1Q with a slight edge with Kevin Durant making 2 of his first 3 3PT attempts. The 2Q was a different story however as the other Thunder, Russell Westbrook went crazy recording a double-double (11 points-10 assists) in the quarter which lead to the West blowing out the East 47 to 28. For the East it was Derrick Rose who was able to salvage something out of that quarter since Deron Williams was ice cold form the field. East coach Erick Spolestra noticed this and decided to go with Rose early in the 3Q. A blow out game instantly turned to a close game, as close as 1 point, thanks to a charge by LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Derrick Rose. The East would eventually take the lead, but with out the West hot 3PT shooting and clutch shots by Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant the East might have been able to lead going into the 4Q. Just like any All-Star game, the fight was on in the 4Q as Dwayne Wade scored the most of his team high 28 points in that quarter to once again give the East a small lead. West coach Monty Williams instantly called a timeout and put the starters back in. Within the next few plays, Kevin Durant hit 2 more 3PTs setting a new record in makes and attempts. Chris Paul followed it up with an alley-oop fest, 3-in-row. One to Pau Gasol, one to Kobe Bryant, and one to Blake Griffin. The game was sealed by then and the West was on their way to victory. Paul did not record a single FG until only seconds were left to go in the game, but he did have 21 assists, which passes his career high and was only 1 assist short of tying Magic Johnson's All-Star Game assists record.

THE STAT: The average age of both teams was 26.25 yrs old and no one on the East was over 29 yrs old. But they had only 1 player younger than 25 (Derrick Rose 22). The West on the other hand had 5 players 22 yrs old or younger (Westbrook, Durant, Gordon, Beasley, Griffin). Manu Ginobili was the oldest All-Star at 33 yrs old

QUOTABLE: Chris Paul on scoring only 2 points, "It's all about having fun. I was having fun making the plays throwing lobs. I didn't need to score. I knew Kevin was hot from 3, I knew Blake didn't miss, I knew Kobe...well I know Kobe is easy to get assist from. haha."

HOT: Blake Griffin did not miss a single shot in the game going 9 for 9, which also included 1 from 3-point land

NOT: Deron Williams dished out a team high 12 assists but was very poor from the field going 2-10, Derrick Rose (23 points 9 assists) was used more down the stretch to lead the East back into the game

GOOD MOVE: Kobe Bryant got LeBron James in the air on a pump fake, then drove to the basket to posterize Andrea Bargnani


BAD MOVE: Raymond Felton had a clear shot at a layup but came up short and was blocked by the rim



Final Score:
WEST (152) - EAST (140)

MVP:
Kevin Durant

33 Points, 7-12 3PT FG - New All-Star Game Record

NEARING THE TRADE DEADLINE, SPURS ROLL THE DYESS

The Spurs and the Bucks deal again as owner Thierry Tirieux has approved another deal to bring in a Buck. The team felt that McDyess was on the wrong side of 30 and that they had enough veteran experience on the team, which is why they went an acquired forward Drew Gooden, who has had a stint in San Antonio before an put in a good season under Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.

The Spurs also acquired a 2nd round draft pick from the Bucks, which can not be taken lightly given the Spurs successful track record in drafting late.

Guard Garrett Temple was also included in the deal for contractual reasons, but was cut immediately after and signed with the D-League.

BREAKING NEWS...
<=>
The Los Angeles Clippers have just agreed to trade Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan to the Los Angeles Lakers for Lamar Odom and Cash. Sources say that with GM KidJustin still missing, this move was completely facilitated by Clippers Owner Donald T. Sterling...

KJ, "WHAT THE F*CK!?!?!?"

KJ wakes up in a deep sweat and breathing hard

KJ, "...It was just a dream...a bad bad dream...whew..."

KJ looks across the rooms and see the cellphone still there, he slowly tries to move the chair closer and closer to it

Suddenly the door started to unlock, it was DMM back from his basketball game

DMM, "Aww...did you miss me?"

KJ, "What do you want from me?"

DMM, "Well I got some goods news and some bad news...."

KJ, "yea..."

DMM, "The good news....that Barkhorn kid was able to create the antidote and got a considerable amount of cash to keep his mouth shut"

KJ, "uh huh..and the bad?"

DMM pulls out a gun, "Well the bad news is....you aren't needed anymore hahaha"

KJ, "Wait! What are you doing with that thing!? I have not done anything wrong! What is wrong with you people! Always blame someone else"

DMM furiously puts the gun to KJ's head, "Blame other people?? It's been so long since I've been in America that I have forget how stupid and irresponsible you all are! You really don't remember do you?"

"It was many years ago...I was going to be a top prospect in the NBA...until you ruined my career! Think back...Venice Beach, CA. During the annual street ball tournament. You weren't even on anybody's radar because you were just a flashy basketball player, no real skills....I HAD SCOUTS AT THAT TOURNAMENT!!! And do you remember what you did?"

KJ, "What...?"

DMM, "Ha...You really are dumb huh? After you were trying to do what ever trick moves you were trying to do, I stole the ball away from you. I had a clear path to the other basket and stupid KidJustin comes along and tries to block my shot. Instead you blind side me and I hit the pavement, break my knee cap and tear a few ligaments. Scouts felt my game would never be the same again!! And now what do I have to show for it? I'm stuck here playing in Serbia-f*ckin-Montenegro!"

"Well Thierry got my back, he knew what I went through. Us international ballers stick together you know. He was going to help me get my foot back in the NBA. And soon I will....soon."

DMM takes the gun off of KJ's head

KJ, "So what is going to happen now"

DMM points the gun and pulls the trigger, KJ closes his eyes and braces himself. Then suddenly a voice, and American voice.

KJ opens one eye to look, the TV is on and turned to ESPN

DMM, "Haha, relax this is my remote control. I just thought you wanted to watch this....and Thierry have something for you later. Don't Worry."

DMM leaves the room.

The voice on the TV, "With the trade deadline looming, the Clippers are in serious talks to trade Baron Davis and a 1st round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon"

KJ, "NOOOO!!!! I REALLY GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE"

KJ quickly wiggles over to the phone and begins to dial it. It rings....and rings....and rings...

[..]

Chicago, Illinois, USA

George Koukoulis, "So ladies...who wants to see inside of a real NBA locker room?"

Beautiful ladies, "Ohhh!!!"

George K (GK)'s phone starts to ring

GK, "uhh..Sorry ladies hold on a moment"

GK steps away to look at his phone...Private Number

GK, "Damnit! Waste my time..."

Suddenly the girls scream, "OH MY GOD! THAT'S DERRICK ROSE!!!"

Derrick Rose, "Hey ladies" and the girls go away with him

GK, "DAMNIT! Stupid phone" as the phone rings again. GK turns his phone off and spots another sexy lady....

[..]

Unknown Location, Serbia-Montenegro

GK recording, "Sorry you have reached George KouKoulis, the GM of the Ma'Fu*kin Bulls...I'm not here right now. Leave a message"

KJ, "DAMNIT GEORGE!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

KJ then struggles to write a text message.

KJ, "I hope he gets this before it's too late....."

CLIPPERS ESCAPE THE SUN



THE FACTS: The Clippers finally end their dreaded 9 game road trip which they finished at 4-5 with a win in this game. For two very offensively minded teams, the offense was not very sharp early on as the Suns did not score until 4 minutes into the 1Q and on the Clippers side, DeAndre Jordan was the team leader with 11 points. The Suns could not stop the pick-and-roll, until Marcin Gortat checked into the game and completely changed the tempo of the game. Eventually Vince Carter took control of the Suns on offense to help them take the lead going into half time. In the 3Q the Suns seemed to be in complete control as the Clippers were struggling to find an offense. Once again it was Eric Gordon helping to cut the lead to within 10 going into the 4Q. Then the Suns went on an 8-0 to start the quarter. A VDN timeout sparked Blake Griffin to turn it on and help the Clippers go on a 20-4 run to cut the lead to 2. After that the Suns started to fall apart. A Vince Carter 3 would cut a 4 point lead to 1, but an Eric Gordon 3 on the other end put the Clippers back up by 4. Steve Nash answered with his only 3pointer of the game and a missed shot by Baron Davis lead to the Suns with a chance to take the lead. Vince Carter took a 3 to try to take the lead but missed. Baron Davis got the rebound and was fouled. He made 1 of 2 from the Free Throw line. Without a Suns timeout, Vince Carter rebounded the ball and threw it beyond half court in a last chance attempt to win the game. The ball fell short and the Clippers won.

THE STAT: Vince Carter scored a game high 24 points in the 1st half, but only 9 points in the 2nd Half, missing a corner 3 that would have been a game winner

QUOTABLE: Antoine Walker, "They clearly just wanted it more..."

HOT: Blake Griffin only had 6 points in the first half (2 points in the 1Q and 4 points in the 2Q), but in the second half he lead a comeback with 17 points, Griffin also had a career high 17 rebounds

NOT: Ben Wallace isn't expected to score, but is expected to play defense, Wallace failed to record any stat expect for 1 rebound

GOOD MOVE: Part of the Clippers 4Q run, Baron Davis stole the ball and lobbed it to Blake Griffin off the back board to cut the lead to only 2


MOVE: Blake Griffin went up for a dunk and was blocked by Marcin Gortat, but the ball somehow still flew into the basket as Blake was hanging on the rim


BAD MOVE: Blake Griffin was open for an alley-oop, but threw it a little hard and missed the dunk


Injuries: N/A

Next Game: vs Timberwolves (back-to-back)


Final Score:
PHOENIX SUNS (106) - LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (108)

Player of the Game:
Blake Griffin

23 Points, Career High 17 Rebounds, 7 Assists

CLIPPERS TAME TIMBERWOLVES



THE FACTS: The Clippers must have been thrilled to finally play in front of their fans again as they completely dominated the Timberwolves in the first half. Baron Davis set a new Clippers Franchise record with 17 assists in a half during that time. The Timberwolves just had not answer for Baron Davis, who was picking apart their defense and finding his teammates with easy basket after easy basket on each play. With the Clippers having a lead as high as 29-points, they must have started to lost interest in the 2nd Half. All-Star Michael Beasley did his best to keep the Timberwolves in the game and even lead a comback to cut the lead to as close as 12. The deficit was just too unbearable and the Clippers were just to good and in the end the Timberwolves would fall by 17 points.

THE STAT: All-Star comparison: All-Stars Michael Beasley and Blake Griffin both scored 35 points each, All-Star Eric Gordon scored 22 points to go along with Blake's

QUOTABLE: Michael Beasley, "When you see them doing that (dunking) all on you, on every play...it really messes with you..."

HOT: 2-man game with Blake Griffin and Baron Davis. Baron Davis had 16 points-20 assists helping Blake Griffin with a 35 point-20 rebound game

NOT: The Clippers lost focus in the 2nd Half as they allowed a 29-point lead fall to as low as 12 points

GOOD MOVE: Despite all of Blake Griffin's alley-oops, his best move was a pump fake on Kevin Love that lead to a reverse pump slam, a la the Human Highlight Film


Injuries: N/A

Next Game: vs Hawks


Final Score:
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (125) - MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES (108)

Player of the Game:
Blake Griffin
