Or how about public transport with a helmet?

You can do that too. People will just think that you're wearing the helmet because you have a bicycle, or scooter.

In their last 3 games:

* Kings were down 19 early They came back and won.
* Kings were down 19 early. They came back and won.

* Kings were down by double digits, got it a little closer, then trailed by 27 points in the 4th. They then went on a 27-3 run. They lost the game.

I'm waiting for Popcorn Machine to put up the game flow, so I can see who was on the floor for all 3 games during some of these stretches.

Schroder has the same FG% as a starter or a bench player, 40.7%, this year.

Stockton had that 26 points, 24 assists, five steals, one turnover game. Westbrook had 24 points, 24 assists, 13 rebounds, four or five steals, three turnovers. Both lost. Stockton’s was in regulation. The other team did not have someone score 56 points.

1 turnover, nice.

I liked how Westbrook had the tying assist near the end of regulation, to Jerami Grant.

There were 3 career highs in that game. Westbrook with the assists, and Aldridge and Grant with points.

Thanks for finding a game in history similar to what Westbrook did.

I don't know if this Thunder team can get to the Finals or conference Finals like those teams with Durant did, but I like this fit with Paul George better. Plus Westbrook has become a better point guard over the years.

If the Thunder don't play the Jazz in the playoffs, I'd like to see him have a 20 assist game in the playoffs.

With how much of a triple double threat Westbrook is, as well as how he's leading the league in steals, one can say that on literally every possession, he has his hands involved.

Now that Westbrook is really stealing the ball this year, we can add another dimension in which he can compare to with Stockton, with both assists and steals.

It's too bad a career 80% FT shooter is shooting 62% this year, though. Because if he was shooting FTs like he usually does, then that would be a third area. Westbrook went 5/11 from the foul line yesterday.

Westbrook says his FT problems started when the NBA implemented a rule change last year, where someone can't walk out to the 3-point line during FT attempts anymore. He used to take a walk as a part of his FT routine.

Why did the Chiefs start 1 - 5 in 2015?

Harden was the first player in NBA history to have 60+ points (61), 15+ rebounds (15), and 5+ steals (5) in a game.

Efficiency aside, that is pretty cool. Surprised no one has had that before.

Glad Anthony-Towns made it.

Minnesota had had a mess of injuries, and Butler quitting on them, but Anthony-Towns has played well.

I would have gone with Gobert or Doncic over Klay Thompson out West.

In the East, I preferred Butler or Caris LeVert over Middleton, but Middleton is fine.

Mike Conley (knee) will not play Friday night against the Hornets.

Advice: He gets ruled out well before warmups, which makes it entirely possible he is not going to play again until the deadline on Thursday. The Grizzlies and Jazz have been reportedly looking at a deal involving Conley and Ricky Rubio, and it's becoming more likely Conley will be on another team next week. With him out, Shelvin Mack has some attractive short-term value and becomes a strong DFS play while Jevon Carter could be a deep-league stash.

@MHSL82, why didn't you tell me that the Big 10 has 14 teams?
