Dang Cousains getting away with a lot this game, looks like the refs want the celtics to get embiid.

Well I know who Marc Davis is now, so thats not good for nba reffing.

What a little shit Boogie is being tonight.

That's probably really bad then.

Lakers have started teams featuring an assortment of Sacre, Ryan Kelly, Wes Johnson, Shawne Williams, Kendall Marshall and Kaman recently....I think that should answer your question. I wouldn't be surprised if Bazemore got a starting gig by the end of the season

Kings are much worse IMO. (Homer opinion I know)

Lakers record is more indicative of how banged up the roster is. We were sporting a 50% win rate before all of the injuries hit. Kings have been terrible since the start of the season.

The answer is actually the Pelicans, they just pretended to be good before scrubbing out with injuries, kind of like the Lakers.

Just enough wins to ship that pick to Philly, woo.

I am actually mad Antoni let this happen..I mean beating the lowly Celtics?? We are counting on him to come up with defensive strategies that are not able to beat teams even as bad as them...


And if you are talking pure talent that has been on the floor, then the Lakers have been/are the worst team in the West. But they have won 18 games, which is overachieving for this team. The truth is that most of those games came at the beginning of the season, before Blake's (and Farmar's) injury. Since then, they have easily put out the worst team in the WC on most nights.

I was referring to the totally depleted Lakers of the last couple of months. The Lakers with Henry, Young, Gasol, Farmar, Blake etc all playing was really fun to watch IMO.

Ya I got you Axion, I actually agree with your post that's why I said "Since then, they have easily put out the worst team in the WC on most nights."... For people who didn't keep up with the details of the Lakers season though, they might look at the roster and the win-total and say "how?" So I was covering that for them.

Jason Collins expected to sign a 10 day with Brooklyn. Good for him, and Garnett can definitely use the help of another big on defense, keep him from playing the 5.

Thunder down by 4 with 35 seconds to go and Westbrook launches a long 3 that bricks. Is that the shot they wanted? Westbrook was 3-12 at that point and he's not even a great 3 point shooter. ESPN just had an article that stated that 307 players in the history of the NBA had attempted 1,000+ 3-pt FGs. Only 8 of them have averaged less than 30%. Westbrook is a career 30.2% 3pt shooter. So it's safe to say he's in the bottom 5% of all shooters with 1,000 3pt-fga.

I admit to being a Westbrook hater. I think he wants to be the hero when he's obviously the 2nd best player on the team. D-Wade is comfortable playing Robin to LeBron's Batman. I don't think Westbrook is as willing to play Robin to Durant's Batman. I don't blame him. Wade had his turn to be Batman and his body is aging so it's no surprise he has accepted a smaller role that has helped him to win 2 more rings so far. Westbrook hasn't had a chance to be Batman and he doesn't have any rings to make up for it either.

Does anyone else get the impression that Westbrook badly wants to be the hero to the point that Durant and Westbrook are competing for FGAs instead of playing together as a unit?

I've had this offer on the table for several years now: if anyone can provide a reasonable explanation as to why Russell Westbrook ever shoots more than Kevin Durant in a single game, I'll give you $20. I haven't paid anyone yet.

Westbrook is a tremendously gifted, horribly inefficient player. He settles for many long twos from the elbows, which he usually makes at a decent clip, but he hasn't been making these shots recently. I believe that it's likely due to the three (!!) knee surgeries he had in the 2013 calendar year, so it makes sense that he's not as effective. What I don't find an excuse for, however, is how he continues to shoot, as in the example you mention (I didn't watch the game, so I can't attest to the validity of the claim) when Durant has clearly evolved since the 2013 playoffs. If you recall, the offense looked disjointed with Westbrook out and Durant having to make an adjustment on the fly to becoming the primary ball handler, something he wasn't familiar with as Westbrook had never missed a game in their time together. Since their defeat in the next round (IIRC they beat Houston in 7 but folded against Memphis?), Durant has clearly become a better scorer with the ball instead of relying on his spot up and PnR shooting.

So where does that leave this whole thing? Durant's not the same guy who needed Westbrook to be effective, and I think the fact that they're clearly not as efficient offensively due to Westbrook's usage coming at an opportunity cost (hello Serge Ibaka and Reggie Jackson!). I think they'll stabilize and return to form, with Westbrook getting healthy and his shooting heating up a bit, but they're going to have to swallow the inefficiency pill until that time, which could cost them the top spot in the West. Remember, this same team was the favorite to make a repeat visit to the Finals last season with a healthy Westbrook, and Jackson, Ibaka, Lamb etc, weren't the players they are now (Durant could even be included here).

TL;DR Westbrook just hasn't figured out that there's obvious ring rust. He's played like a dozen meaningful games in the past 10 months or something, so things will eventually return to normal.

Seems painfully obvious to the rest of the world that he should be Durants Robin not the other way around.
Westbrook is a monster player despite his boneheaded greediness. If he had no great players around him, he could make more excuses for his play. But he has the 2nd best player in the league on his team, who shoots from pretty much everywhere at a top tier.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Pelicans need Anderson back to pick up the perimeter consistency. Nothing but garbage players riding on the Davis train.
