Steven Adams and Jokic going at in the OKC vs Denver. Admas had 17pts in the first quarter!
Im telling you, he is a 30pt player in the making.
Torrey Craig has 11 and he's an NBL player...
That was a decent game between two pretty even matched sides.
Nuggets are a well coached side. They have 3 key guys out as well in Millsap, Barton and Harris.

I enjoyed it, good game. I enjoy more than I should every time Craig does something good

Another good home win for the Nuggets against the Raptors. Almost had a playoff feel to that game - good defence, low scoring, low turnovers, both teams only really playing 8 guys.
NBL Torrey had another good game and continues to get the playing time with the injuries. Joker is a tough cover given his array of skills and ability to shoot the 3.

I'm kinda liking the love shown to Dwayne Wade as he plays his last games at a bunch of stadiums. Seems to be a genuinely liked guy around the league

@mariner4life he’s definitely improved his standing in the league after having a rep. I wasn’t a fan early on but similar to Lebron, have grown to admire his game and what he’s accomplished.
He’s still got buckets and will find a way to get his 12-16 shots off the bench.

my opinion was based around an article i read about him, his standing in the community in Miami, and the huge amount of work he does there.

just on the NBA, I've recently discovered an NBA forum, and it is absolutely insane. Every 2nd thread is some form of "MJ is better than LBJ, here's why" or vice versa. Then, to break up the monotony, there will be a "kobe is better than everybody". There is generally fuck all chat about current games, it's mainly just potshots between Jordan, LBJ and Kobe fans, or just "that hyped player on your team is straight trash" threads. It's actually pretty funny.
-
I’ve tried different bball forums over the years but those LBJ v MJ v Kobe threads are like the Carlos v Mertz threads on roids. They generally don’t have the pub rule so descend pretty quickly.

What's going on with Westbrook? I don't read up on the NBA too much (if anyone can point me towards a good site it would be appreciated) , but I have noticed Westbrook has not been scoring as high as he has in the past. Change in attitude from him (happy for George and others to take the reigns)? Out of form scoring wise? Deliberate change in team tactics? All of the above?

ESPN reckon he's sharing with PG

Sitting in my office "working" with the Spurs v Nuggets game playing on my phone. Quality game, 55-53 at the half.
Torrey Craig looks like an NBA player now, playing good defense on DeRozan, and jagged a sweet 3 before as well.
Anyone else watch yesterday's games? Celtics v Sixers was awesome. Went to OT before Kyrie hit two clutch 3s. He's a complete stud when the game is on the line.
Then the Lakers just smashed the Warriors. Warriors have a few issues, but i still reckon their biggest one is boredom waiting for the playoffs to start.

PG is the best scorer at OKC. Add to that the improved play of Adams and Grant at the offensive end. Dennis Schroder is also a 15-20 points every night and the scoring is far more balanced with Westbrook not having to create as much for his own shot.
Westbrook will probably average another triple double and win more games than last season.
-
@ACT-Crusader yip. this is almost the Russell we need but still have him trying to win games on crazy off balance shots. I will hold out hope eventually hes the complete PG we need.
