Third most free throws ever shot in a single game behind only Dwight, who shot 39 twice. Also only the ninth time a player has shot 30 in a game.

The Rockets just re-acquired Josh Smith via trade.

 

LOL

 

Kind of a weird trade. Rockets give up rights of two foreign players who will never be in the NBA, they get a player who was key to playoff run last season from one of the teams they beat during the playoff run AND the Clips pay his salary for the rest of the season.

 

Clips get nothing and pay to get rid of a player to an in conference team who got the most of said player the year before and have struggled to replace him. Just weird. Rockets get a player who could spark them back to life and if not they have no cost or downside to taking the shot.

 

Why would Clips do this?

Josh Smith is pretty terrible, plus the Clippers have a log jam of players with it only going to get worse when Griffin comes back soon. Rockets need bodies at PF/C with Howard playing sporadically and Montajumus (spelling) hurt. The Rockets really should consider going the other way trading everyone and blowing it up to acquire lotto picks/young talent, it's pretty clear they are never winning with Harden/Howard as their 2 best and highest paid players.

Agreed. Just don't understand why Clips agreed to cover salary. I would think they could have dumped him to some other team for free. Why trade him to the one team he could really help if your asking price is nothing?

they should've reached out to luke walton

He's gonna be the Lakers coach next year as long as Kerr can coach full time, imo. Also sounds like Love and/or Mozgov may be on his way out.

Could see Rockets getting him too. Roster and front office already in place to play that style.

Blake Griffin broke his hand punching some team equipment guy a couple times, inside, and then again outside of a restaurant. Oops.

The exact immaturity that holds him back from being truly great. All the talent and physical abilities you could want but only half a brain.

There's plenty of "truly great" players that have done stupid, immature things. Hell, probably most of them.

"Steve Kerr did nothing wrong"

 

How many 2016 Kia Optimas will Blake have to jump over to get him out of this one?

 

Find out on the next episode of Clippers Drama!!

Right, but did it effect them on the court? Blake has always been plagued in my eyes by never being 100 percent focused on dominating. Too interested in having fun much like Dwight Howard.

Watching Rockets v Spurs and at the end of the 1st the Spurs intentionally fouled the inbounder (Capela). Like literally ran over, stepped out of bounds next to him, and grabbed his arms. How is this not an intentional foul? Ball is not in play.

I've literally never seen this before, nor knew that it was a rule that the inbounded could get FTs
