2013-14 NBA Thread part 1

Wow talk about dog days of the season.

 

At least that got Greg Oden into the game earlier. First time he played since 2009. His first touch was a putback dunk.

 

John Wall is finally coming into his own as a great point guard.

 

Clippers were down 17 with 4+ minutes to play against the Mavericks.

Clippers won.

 

Juwan Howard showed up at the White House with the Heat the other day for their Championship meet and greet with the President. He played a total of 7 games and 51 minutes for their Championship season, DNP for the playoffs.

BTW Howard is 12th on the NBA career earnings list at $150+ million.

 

He'll be Business Week's Player of the Year.

 

LeBron's NFL hilight package:

 

Houston scored 73 points in the first half last night. They scored 19 points in the second half. That is a record for biggest disparity in scoring between halves. Houston lost 104-92 to Oklahoma City.

The Big Choke couldn't happen to a less deserving prick than Dwight "The Big Douche Nozzle" Howard

 

I'm a Thunder fan - turned the game off at halftime and told myself, "It's late and this is only gonna get uglier. Time for bed." Kinda wish I hadn't done that now.

 

Carmelo 62 points, 0 assists.

Shit's working how it should in New York.

When Kobe scored 81, even he found a way to dish it twice.

 

A thought was brought up to me tonight and I can't say that I disagree.

That thought was this: If the 2013 draft was to be done over right now, would Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo be the No. 1 overall pick? He just turned 19 a month ago, he's got possibly the biggest upside and he's already contributing and playing much more than anyone thought he would. Any thoughts?
