Triple double in 27 minutes

Mitch McGary has looked great in the only 2 times I've gotten to watch him.

Westbrook had a dent in his head. Surprised he was allowed to stay in the game after that.

Westbrook's game log for February. Pretty damn impressive. Also saw that in the 7 games that Durant has missed this month, Westbrook is averaging a triple double.

RIP Anthony Mason

Kind of the Rodman/K Perkins but with some more offense

Anthony Mason was awesome. Loved watching him shoot FTs for the Knicks as a young kid learning the game. No clue how he made them, ever.

Sucks for OKC. Kanter banged up. Westbrook probably out 3 games, maybe more. They are going to need to fight to the very end to get in. When healthy themselves, New Orleans and Phoenix are both pretty good.

Noah not even in the game during crunch time. Gasol with an amazing 4 points with 14shots. Terrifying front court there.

Also, remember when people thought Doug freaking McDermott was going to be a contributor?

My guess is that wanted Gasol in with Mirotic. Not sure why but Noah didn't play during crunch time and still lead the team in minutes(and had a double-double). When I was watching(end of 3rd to middle of 4th), Mirotic was on fire and I see he ended up with 29 and 9. He will be huge for them come playoff time.

Knee surgery will prevent nearly anyone from being a contributor, especially a rookie on a veteran team.

He fell out of the rotation before the injury and has been activated since Jan 19th. He doesn't play because he is not good. Maybe being a rookie on a veteran team is a plausible excuse, but he wasn't drafted and not expected to contribute immediately. Snell is getting plenty of time and he is only a 2nd yr with limited experience. Snell is playing because he performs. McDermott isn't because he has been disappointing.

So much ignorance in this post. Classic pick6, picks 1 game out of 80 to back up his opinion.

When gasol records 20 and 10 next game, he'll be nowhere to be seen.

Snell with an amazing 5.3 and 1.9 a game performs but you want to call out gasol and his 18.4 and 12.

Averaged 13.6 in the month of February. He was getting 5 mins a game before McDermott went out so obviously his season averages are going to be shit. McDermott going out was a blessing in disguise for them to allow true NBA talent on the floor. Gasol was exposed against a playoff team today without their all star 4(Spencer fucking Hawes lol) and will be exposed come playoff time against a real team (the cavs). Try again S&L.

Guess who averaged 19 and 12 in the month of February....

He has also had 17 double-doubles in the span of his last 20 games. Out of those 17 games, 10 came against the Spurs, Hawks, Mavs, Houston, Cavs (x2), Golden State, New Orleans, and Phoenix(x2).

And no, it wasn't Tony Snell.

Typical pick6. Picks one game to spout off, then goes quiet.

So were there any signings by anyone for the playoff run? Doesn't look like Ray Allen is playing this year.

If he comes back it'll be on Cleveland. Is his offense really worth the defensive liability?

The deadline to be eligible for playoff rosters was 11:59pm last night. Not signed now, not eligible for the playoffs.

Would be eligible to play during the season but not in the postseason.

Im in surprised more veterans weren't bought out. Perkins by Utah and Robinson by Denver are the only ones. I could see Chicago going after Nate Robinson until Rose gets back.

Actually that's wrong.

They can still be signed and be eligble for the playoffs. They had to be off of a roster by midnight last night. However, players from China, or any other non-NBA teams, Ray Allen included can still be signed for the playoffs.
