Partial voter fatigue, and partial Durant has to do everything with Westbrook out, but a lot of NBA writers are thinking Durant has surpassed Lebron in the MVP race. Granted, around this time last year, people thought the same thing.
Atlanta beats Miami Hawks announcers just said that in 42 career games for LeBron against Atlanta, this is only his 8th loss. 34-8 Wade didn't play yet again (he sat out Saturday's game so it was thought he'd play today). I think that was his 10th missed game already.
Miami co-captains are Haslem and Wade The problem is that each of them are probably going to wind up playing 35% of the team's minutes or less. Wade is sitting out his third game in a row and likely is going to miss half the season Haslem is a bench player that sometimes doesn't play at all. He's played in 25 out of 41 games, averaging 13 mpg. They're the two longest-tenured Heat guys but they're not full-time players.
end of first quarter, Boston holding for the last shot Miami had a foul to give, so they gave it with about 4 seconds left. They then stole the inbounds and Beasley hit a half court bank shot as the quarter expired. His first shot of the game.
I'm watching the Boston-Miami game on NbaTv and I'm cringing every time this announcer uses "Rio" and "SweetLou" as nicknames.
Celtics playing shorthanded. Avery Bradley was injured in the first half and didn't return. They're also missing Bayless, and Rondo continues to play poorly, so their backcourt is terrible. Close game, though.
Rondo just bricked two crucial free throws and that will allow Miami to put it away His line: 26 minutes, 0/8 FG, 1/4 FT, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers he's just been awful since returning. Could be rust.
Definitely rust. He's still on a minutes limit and has to get back into the flow of things and get back into it with a team where he's the guy
It's a shame that he sin't getting much love but Lamarcus Aldridge is having a beast of a season for the Blazers.
