Go on Mr. Whiteside (ya like that Lebby drop, dont cha!?)

Possibly the worst song they've ever done.

Cut Off and Lebby this morning, I'm in my wheelhouse!!!

I'm about an hour into the Kobe Muse documentary, it's fantastic so far.

Funny part though, I'm watching right now, literally coming here to post how it's a different side of Kobe, very introspectve and vulnerable...blah blah blah...and before I can start typing the post, he gets to the part where he starts talking about how and why he created the Black Mamba. And there it is!

Just throwing it out there... I'm kind of pulling for Paul George to get back into game action and for the Pacers to possibly shake up the Eastern Conference playoffs a bit.

damn you Kyrie

Anthony Davis had 36/14/7 with 9 blocks last night, and the Pelicans still lost to Denver at home.

[shel311]

If only AD can just avoid getting hurt in pregame shootarounds, he'd be good to go!!!

Anthony Davis' PER this season is 31.3. In the clutch it is 42.9.

Yes, there's a WPA just for big moments. In fact, Davis' WPA in clutch situations (game within five points in final five minutes) is 4.6, meaning he has delivered almost five victories single-handedly in tight situations. The crazy thing? The next-highest is Jimmy Butler at 2.33. In other words, Davis has been twice as clutch as the second-most clutch performer this season

Don't trust the WPA figures? Think it's all made up? Believe it. Just take a gander at his box score stats. In clutch situations (game within five points in the final five minutes), the defense locks down and the average player shoots just 40 percent from the floor. But not Davis. He has shot a ridiculous 63.5 percent (33-of-52) from the floor, scoring 93 points in just 104 minutes of action

Let's give that 42.9 clutch PER some more context. Not only does it blow away the competition this season, but it's the highest figure among the hundreds of qualified players we've seen in the past five seasons according to the NBA StatsCube database.

And something even more ridiculous, considering that season was around the height of "Lebron's a choker" from his CLE days:

Something I discovered in my Brow research: LeBron had a 59.3 PER in clutch situations in 2009-10. Scored 208 points in 151 minutes.

I love watching Golden State play. It is like a continuation team of a lot of my fav college players of all time on it. Seth Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes, and Andrew Bogut, plus Iggy. Hope they make a run in the playoffs.

[DRiccio21]

they are putting up an all time great season in terms of efficiency.

west is gonna be tough be they are great.

KD done for the season, 4-6 months.

They seemed to have botched that injury pretty badly, i'm worried of the long term effects, the whole 7 footer and foot injuries thing.

KD to Toronto Mid Level Exception!
