I hate playing Westbrook in fantasy, another damn empty garbage triple double, no one gives a shit about triple doubles when you shoot 34%, asshole.

Rarely does anyone mention how inefficient Westbrook is.

People used to shit on Kobe for the same thing, even shat on his 60 point game at age 1,006 for chucking, and yet Westbrook gets this treatment

That there's the bitch of fantasy basketball.

I have Durant though, so it's all good.

It's a competitive 20 man league, big $ buy in, if you don't get a top pick you really gotta know your shit, luckily I got 4th pick and am in 2nd.

Warriors having a bit of a let down vs OKC after playing Cleveland. I'd like to see it close to even at the half for one of their patented 3rd quarter dominations.

LOL at this Draymond Flop. One of the funniest I've ever seen.

I found Kobe's 60-point game impressive even though he chucked up 50 shots. Dude was clearly on his last legs and dug deep for whatever was left in his body. Westbrook's just reckless and inefficient.

Harden's my MVP and I've barely seen him play this season as opposed to Westbrook. The only thing I see that Westbrook does extremely well is rebounding - regardless of his position - which the latter says a lot.

 

[Black Adam]

I thought about that too, and if him opting in because of the injury wasn't bad enough.

good Lord...

if you didn't have BAD luck, you wouldn't have any...

The Turnovers are horrific.

His assists to turnover ratio was criminal last night.

Yea, had 10 TO"s and under 35% shooting last night, iirc.

That is not a good game.

But hey, he got another triple dub.....with an L.

Having watched the entire game, though, I don't think it was as bad of a game as that makes it look though.

I can't speak for many of his other games this season, but last night he was doing what he had to do against a very tough matchup for his team (especially without Adams). His play is the only reason that game stayed as close as long as it did.

I feel like I mention this a lot, but maybe not directly. More so in post comparing him.

It's also why I believe Harden is the clear cut MVP.

LOL, that was amazing.

Sorry, Sushi. I haven't been on the NBA boards; more specifically the other threads other than this one lately. So I may have missed this. But this is towards the "experts" and "analysts".

On another note, at least Dirk thinks Whiteside's an all-star. So there's that.

with so many guys that are reasonable candidates for the All Star team i doubt Whiteside has much of a chance considering the Heats record---- which is usually the "de facto" tiebreaker in most situations.

we know K Love owns him!!!!

is there anyone out there that would actually take Whiteside over Embiid? i highly doubt it....

Carmelo Anthony to the Clips, Griffin and Pierce to the Lakers, Ingram and Clarkson to the Knicks?

Russell Westbrook on Zaza Pachulia: "I'm going to get his ass back, straight up. ... I don't play that game."

Yea this is pretty ridiculous. But, I liked Pachulia's response when told about Russ' comments. GS got bigger things like winning a title to worry about.
