Real Deal

Don't be surprised! How many all-star caliber players have been on a roster, officially, but end up never playing a single game for that particular team? What if Bynum doesn't play all year, then leaves Philly? How interesting.

It's just a couple of games, but against the Pacers and Nuggets (Pacers will be in Indiana). Doubt he misses any more time than that, though, since he'll have until the 19th to heal up.

If I had to pick two, it would be AP (just seeing how quickly he returned, and then completely dominated) and LeBron (just because he's a freak). But, if LeBron was using PEDs, and he was caught...wow, that could be devastating.

WHAT? Wow, every single match I had...I experienced a bug, and I never played online. I'd do shit like walk through the ring, or do flips through the ropes and slide up to the top of the arena. I did this weird thing where my finisher would keep repeating. Just a bunch of BS...and I just finally put the game down.

How buggy is WWE '13, though? If it's anywhere close to the previous game, I wouldn't buy it for anything over $20. And I haven't bought a Madden game in a few years.

Put this on God's name, I randomly went to Basketball Reference to look up free throw attempts without a miss (by a team in a single game)...and after that, I figured I'd find the most threes attempted at 100% for a team in a single game...just a few hours ago, without looking at this topic. Landed those Pacers, and saw the boxscore. That's really creepy, lol.

Ouch, missed the game? That sucks. It was amazing...and I was almost 100% sure they would go into a sixth.

Kansas is stupid. Nice to dive into the triangle and two...but GET OUT OF IT when a team starts dropping bombs from the perimeter. That's three losses in a row, first time since 2005. Elijah Johnson is truly a Russell Westbrook now, for some reason. Here's every team that beats us: http://i.imgur.com/S0zl2.gif I'm just mad.

A big part of this was all hinged on Boston tanking, but they are pulling the reverse-tank, and I didn't see that coming at all. So much for this. If Boston completely fell out of the picture, and Milwaukee started to struggle a bit...different story, but NOPE.

Well, that's sort of what I meant in that last statement...if he had a choice between a max deal on a bad team, or playing alongside Dwight in Houston. Otherwise, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if he took the deal, simply because he already commented on how much money he THINKS he should be making.

I honestly wish McAdoo was a lot bigger, more physical, and stronger. That would be a sight to see.

I couldn't believe they let Hardaway Jr. stay in the game after five fouls. That was pretty bad. What if he dropped in the game-tying three in OT?

Harden is proving to everyone that he is a legitimate primary scoring option for a playoff team...and while Westbrook hasn't had the opportunity to do that, he also struggles scoring as a second option next to the best scorer in the NBA, Kevin Durant, so it's tough for me to sit here and assume he could be that guy. Both aren't elite defenders, but are good, so I'm not going to dive into the defensive end of the court. Westbrook gambles, Harden will sometimes play a guy too close OR give him too much space. Dipping into their offensive abilities, both pass the ball...Westbrook just doesn't make the right decisions late in games, and it does hurt the Thunder. Harden is a better shooter, and gets to the line so damn much, you really have to give him the edge. So, for this season and possibly later in their careers, it's Harden. Westbrook has room to grow, though, and I truly think he could have learned a LOT from Jason Kidd, if the vet had made the decision to come to OKC instead of New York.
