And as an NBA fan in southern Ohio the OKC was far more interesting.

Nobody matters to ESPN aside from LA, NY, and Boston... Sometimes Chicago.

That was pretty painful to watch.

But when 2 players chuck it up 30 times each, I guess if theyre both hot this happens. Its only happened once before because most teams have more than 2 scoring threats on the entire roster lol

That was the best part of that game IMO.....Dallas was up 5-7 much of the time and Novak scored 11 points in about 3 minutes...with a lightning quick release.

35/57...FG (KD 18/28, RW 16/29)

8/14.....3 point (KD 5/6, RW 3/6)

13/15....FT (KD 8/10, RW 5/5)

They weren't chucking it up....they were taking good shots....and making them, not sure how anyone could not appreciate their games.

Who didnt appreciate their game? Taking 30 shots in an nba game is chuckin it up, even if theyre good shots. And If both of them are making shots (aka hot, like i said) then this could happen. Not sure how this is confusing lol

And KD was taking good shots, Westbrook was taking his normal wild shots, just happened to be hitting last night. But when hes hot, hes hot

I just don't understand how watching something that has never happened before was painful. I'm exhausted from Jeremy Lin who is tremendous and a definite catalyst for the Knicks....but he's also the only player in history with 6+ TO in 6 consecutive games.

When I think of chucking up shots it's bad shots or forced shots and way too many. Westbrook being so quick and athletic sometimes throws him into this....but I just didn't see that last night.

It was painful because 2 players destroyed my team on national television?

Yeah, I do kind of agree to your point. Other teams dont have 3 guys like that, but they have others who can go off for 20+ any given night. Thunder dont have a guy like that. Ibaka really cant, Perkins really cant. Sefalosha? Collison? No. Cook I suppose can, but he might be it. It really is a 3 headed offensive machine. Ibaka gets all his on rebounds, transition and dump-offs. In half-court. 3 guys are playing offense, really.

But at the same time. A 3 headed offensive monster in the NBA is tough to stop. Especially when #1 is Durant.

I can't wait to watch ESPN overreact one way or another to 'Melo/Lin tonight.
