Mostly Kobe. Now that Ariza is in the game, he's taking him exclusively.*

Holla, 40% of the court are Bruins...Ariza, Farmar, Watson and Westbrook.

that's a pleasing loss. three months ago we lose tonight by 40. Kevin Durant is just amazing.

KD's february numbers

 

33.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.8 apg. 1.0 bpg, .554% from the field, .563% from 3, .852% FT

 

He's averaging over 42 minutes a game in the last month+, so he'll burn out before too long, but he really is a scoring machine

 

Holy crap. Nice numbers..

i noticed he's the #1 ranked player for the last month in yahoo fantasy basketball, #2 of all people is Troy Murphy (Lebron #3).

Michael Lewis has written a long feature for the NYT Magazine focused on Shane Battier and the development of in depth statistical analysis in basketball. It's a great read.

looks like Tyson Chandler is heading to OKC in exchange for Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox

Wow, that's awesome for OKC. Why would NO do that, though? :-k

Both those contracts are up after this year iirc. The Hornets are also probably going to move in the next couple years as well. Hopefully to Vegas or San Diego.

chandler was a big fan favorite while he was here, i know he's struggled this year, but hopefully he can get it back together

OKC could use the d help too. I was just reading they have 5 first round picks the next two years. If they get a good lottery pick they could be on the verge of being solid. Durant in 3 years will be scary.

So did I miss the part where everyone talked about what an epic bust HORSE was?

I didn't even tune in until the end of the 3-point contest.

 

The dunk contest was pretty weak too

HORSE was a lot like the 3 point contest only in slow motion. With no timer. With worse shooters. Who didn't care.

oh my god, in their first game minus terry porter, the suns have scored 112 points with 2:33 left IN THE THIRD QUARTER

 

yes it's the clippers, but they're on pace for like 160 points

[Guest]

Suns 112

Clippers 68

 

2:33 left in the third quarter.

 

Phoenix is shooting 71 percent in the game.
