Lol. They obviously weren't embarrassed enough last night. I mean, you can see bad teams getting beat but jeez at least show up. To be down by 50 at some point in the game two nights in a row...smh.

Tanking for Marcus Smart???

How deep is the West right now?
GS is the 8th seed. They would be the 3rd seed in the East and would be a legit threat to Indiana or Miami.

I dont know why I bother but in this scenario he fits far better coming off the bench because Affallo is clearly a better fit at SG and because Oladipo can play both guard positions. You realize there are some pretty good players that dont start right? Ever heard of Manu Ginobelli?

They already have 1 PG who cant shoot

At the very least this collapse might trigger trades involving Turner, Young, and/or Hawes. It isnt like they can do worse without them.

It isnt just that they stink but they are doing everything wrong which leaves us Knick fan with little hope that they can ever get things turned around in any sustained fashion. If it wasnt for Dan Gilbert, Dolan would be the wirst owner in the league. Even Sterling finally hired good people and let them run the team.

You are just figuring this out?

Yes Chuck, just last night.

I was joking, clearly.
This class has bust written all over it, comparing this class too the Lebron year is a joke.
I dont see much from Smart, Wiggins or Parker.
I guess Exum could be special, who knows?

You have watched Parker and Wiggins and Randle and thought bust? There are a lot of guys that might not even be lottery picks that can become top players. Look at Hood from Duke. Gary Harris from mich state. Ennis, McDermott, Grant.

That's not even counting any of the big guys or Europeans.

Wizards-Grizzlies and Thunder-Blazers should be two good ones also. Should be a decent night of basketball.

Miami played like garbage at Utah Saturday night.

He has been playing better lately which is good to see...playing good again tonight against the Kings. He has taken a lot of criticism for his play, which some was warranted since he was struggling early on...but most of it was because of where he was drafted which wasn't his fault.

Hardly bet NBA, but I am tonight.
Miami minus 3 for a large amount
Portland in a pick for a medium sized amount.
Good Luck

Gotta check on LaMarcus Aldridge's status...was listed as questionable pretty late. Reports say he was out earlier than normal for pregame warmups going through lateral movement drills with the coaches. My guess is he'll play but he did sit against the T-Wolves for a while the other night with "soreness".

LOL, he's safe, Thunder getting the royal screw job from the refs so far.

Hes got 10 shots in the first 10min of the game. 6 rebounds to go w/ 8 points.

I bet Portland, and I agree. Favorable calls going Portlands way right now.

Continued right through the buzzer with a ridiculous no-call when Durant was driving.

Thunder are pick n rolling the Blazers to death...defense continues to be a problem. Losing Freeland is really going to hurt, since he was the only big on the bench who really contributes anything.

And the rest of the half 0 rebounds to go w/ 2 points. Hopefully he gets some treatment at the half. McCollum is really stepping up.

Perk put an end to any momentum the Thunder had, he is -20 in the 1st half. Words can not describe how much I loath him as a basketball player.

Durant was the only starter to make a basket in the 1st half.

Lebron with an MVP like performance tonight vs a good team on the road.

That ship has sailed. Durant been putting those up for two months straight, not when he feels like it.

KD is pretty much unguardable.

Anthony Bennett with 19 points and 10 boards. 3 for 3 from 3 point land. He continues to improve.

Look Durant is amazing. He is an all timer and the gap between him and George for 2-3 is bigger then I thought it was. But Lebron is still the best in the world, and its not really close IMO.
He is a made man, so I guess he can bring it when he wants. Durant wants what Lebron has, in terms of Titles and MVP's.

Still think he is really good and the Knicks should have moved Melo for a package of him, Waiters, maybe another guy and picks. It would have given the Knicks a nice core to build around.
I mean take nothing for him or take a young Bennett a young Waiters someone else and picks. I think its insane that they are not pushing for this.

Sure he does, but KD is the MVP this year. Lebron's "MVP game" tonight is pretty much KD's average game this year. And saying it isn't close between the two is ridiculous.

I mean whats close? Lebron is 1 Durant is 2. I think Lebron will be #1 for 5 more years. Like I said before, and in 5 years Durant will only be the age of Lebron now. So Durant will have his time. Lebron is special because he improves every year still. A combo forward guard shooting almost 60% is almost unheard of.

Lol a carry? Pretty ironic to call it in this game.

More like 1 and 1a...we'll see, but that is what my eyes tell me, and lots of experts agree. Did you miss the game IN MIAMI?

Don't worry about your bet, refs doing all they can, and I rarely ever complain about refs any more. Ridiculous call of a 4th foul on Durant, and so was the 3rd.

Im up either way. I went a bit more on Miami, I dont play much NBA so the sweep would be nice.
Hey since your up and posting, is a place bet on an 8-5 shot ever a good wager??

I guess it depends on the 8 to 5, but it isn't a bet I'd be looking to make.

I haven't seen a more lopsided officiated game than this one in a long time. Serge gets a clean block, called a foul, then the refs compound it with a tech. Total joke tonight.

Edit to add a missed goal tend right after.

Again agree.

Another one that could cost the game, KD ravaged about 10 times before the inbounds and during it, but no call and Portland ball on the deflection.

Its safe.
Another solid road win for OKC.

Thunder win anyway, that is an impressive win.
