    Anthony Davis with 36 points, 14 rebounds, 9 blocks, and 7 assists. His offensive game is improving. Hard to believe he and Kyrie are 22.

    He'll be considered the best player in the league within the next couple years.

    you're obsession with me is pathetic. I haven't talked about Dion one way or the other since he has left the Cavs, because I don't care. I could bring up your fails, but I have a life.



    Fuck Marcus Smart.

    Lol. If you can prove me wrong, so be it. I'll take the L. But as far as I can recall I haven't.

    Aldridge and Batum both went down with injuries tonight. I really like Portland, but losing those two hurts big time.

    I am reading an article about OKC without Durant and had to share the Waiters part of the article. I couldn't be happier with the way that trade worked out.

    Waiters has been a disaster in Oklahoma City, shooting 37 percent overall and a Josh Smith–esque 27 percent from deep, and defenses are getting braver about abandoning him:
    Waiters is mostly taking some of the most godawful off-the-dribble 2s you’ll ever see. I’m pretty sure he set an unofficial league record for layups that hit only the backboard against Boston on Wednesday.
  • Commander of Awesome
    ^ That brought teh lulz. Thanks for sharing.

    Another reason to hate Paul Pierce:

    I'm not really upset about the act (Pushing the guy), but once you saw it hurt a little kid, go check on her.

    Finally getting a chance to watch the Jazz since the Kanter trade. Gobert is legit.

    I've been surprised at how good Kanter has been in OKC, but Gobert's length is insane.
