[11/05/15]Today's Game Discussion: OKC vs CHI, Wade's Buzzer Beater, etc.

Check out Wade's buzzer beater. It's definitely right up there with best of best.

OKC vs CHI is a good one.

Also later tonight Memphis plays at Portland. Both have 3-2 record at the moment and this is a match up between two different teams, young vs old, grind vs fast pace. Let's go Lillard.

Wade's play there was definitely spectacular, somewhat reminiscent of that block on Amar'e and long bomb many years ago.

The 1/9 start hurt his final numbers a little, but a fine performance by Rose once he got it going. Big buckets down the stretch to hold off the Thunder and get the win for the Bulls. Fine play from Butler, too.

Finally a breakout from Derrick Rose.


As for the Aldridge-less Blazers, they're surprisingly good without him and the Spurs aren't as dominant as hype. Duncan yesterday said something like he's still not sure about his role. Well, like I said prior to season start, Aldridge's usage has to come from somewhere and in Spurs's case, it came in sacrifice of good team basketball. In the meantime, the ball is moving and previously less used capable players are getting their shares of touch in Portland.


For the highlight of the night:

I didn't mention it in the Bulls thread but Butler really saved the Bulls against OKC. OKC had a hot start and it was Butler countering with his scoring while Niko and Rose (initially) were not bringing it.
