The Rest of the NBA

[Rome]

That is beyond awesome.  Seriously.

how much of vince young is there

This Kevin Durant guy is pretty good.  Westbrook had a spectacular game too.

i love the guy but actually westbrook didnt have a very good game...he had one of his big numbers dumb plays type a game that he throws up once a week

[Sgt PSN]

I'm mostly talking about turnovers (2) and the 4th qtr, where he and Durant bascially beat Miami into submission by themselves. 

But I know what you're saying.  Westbrook is kind of like the Mike Vick of basketball.  You get spectacular plays that are jaw dropping and make you think he's unstoppable and then you get some dim witted head scratching plays that make you wonder how he made it to the pro level.

i hate him in games like last night where durant is clearly in a zone...last night he might have been on another planet.....and westbrook is firing the ball from all over the court instead of trying to get durant off...they won so its not a big deal but it could have hurt them

[Sgt PSN]

That's Westbrook's game though.  Or at least, that's what Westbrook thinks his game is.  For a PG, I agree that he brings the ball up the court and then jacks up a shot way too often for my liking.  And that's at least partly why it's vital that he limit his turnovers like he did last night.  Because when he jacks up shots before passing the ball, then it might as well be chalked up as a turnover.

I take it that's Todd in the gray shirt then.  He's cuter than I would have thought.

David Stern is sick of being asked about whether or not the NBA draft lottery is rigged.

It's a legitimate question, of course – more than a handful of people I've talked to asked, "hmmm, wonder if Benson agreed to buy the hapless, talentless Hornets under the agreement that Stern deliver him a franchise player who could stir fan interest?" – but the NBA commish has had enough with the questions.

Undaunted, Jim Rome asked Stern about the lottery this afternoon. In a mocking tone, Stern shot back, "have you stopped beating your wife?" as if to say that's how much credibility the question has. It doesn't appear as if Rome has ever had any such incident. The 1985 draft, though ... conspiracy theories linger.
