Above Westbrook?

 

Holiday better than Westbrook? Take off the fanboi glasses.

 

Westbrook is 23 and averaged 23/5/5 this year, whereas Holiday averaged 13/4/3. Obviously, numbers don't tell the whole story, but there's no way any amount of intangibles make up that gap.

 

LOL

 

That is quite the stretch.

 

Pacers get one.

 

With home-court in the balance, you definitely want Mario Chalmers firing that up if you're Miami.

 

When Westbrook's at his best, he's as good as there is. Certainly no point guard still around - and especially with Rose out and injured - is as explosive. As a Lakers fan, I really wish OKC general manager Skip Bayless had gotten his wish and the Thunder had shipped him out. Now, can his jumper go cold and maybe he'll take a few too many shots? Sure. But his incredible positives far outweigh the negatives.

Is Wade okay after that devastating fall he took while trying to draw a foul against air in the closing seconds of the Heat's loss?

 

His merry band of apologists were in full force within seconds of the game ending, with the announcers assuring us that was the right play for the situation.

 

I know the play wasn't designed for him, I just couldn't help but make a meme ...

 

Well, I'll say this for the 3-time MVP. He did a hell of a job standing around that last half-minute while his teammates were busy going about the business of losing home-court advantage.
