Nice hit on Philly Banker.

I almost played the Bulls ML, but chose Charlotte instead. WTF was I thinking?

Good luck to you as well.

Might've hit my high point for the night with the Bulls. Hope not.

At least the Lakers got some back for me with that comeback.

Still can't believe the Hornets. Wow.

Wow.

**Vinnie Paz** · 12-25-12, 08:38 PM

Thanks a lot Westbrook

Fukk me

**No coincidences** · 12-25-12, 08:38 PM

Thunder are never going anywhere with Westbrook running the show.

Guy is just a lost cause. So much talent but shit for brains and the attitude of an 8-year-old crybaby.

They went to the Finals with Westbrook running the show.

I agree that the 23 year old still needs to mature a bit but part of the reason OKC is so good is because of Westbrook. I love the passion he brings.

It looked like he did get fouled on that three. The technical foul after the fact didn't matter unless you took a live wager on OKC.

This game was just like last year's Finals. One possession game under a minute and OKC can't quite get over the hump.

**lunchbawks** · 12-25-12, 08:44 PM

NBA is a homer league. why does this still surprise you

**Vinnie Paz** · 12-25-12, 08:44 PM

all the Westbrook threads

Glad at least I just pushed and not lost....

Westbrook is an elite talent. No question about that.

I'm not sure how much longer they can wait around for this kid to grow up -- especially when you're trying to win an NBA title right now and you have the game's premier scorer on the wing.

Heat were gift-wrapped that win from Westbrook and the refs.

Durant has to just shake his head sometimes.

Even a lot of OKC fans are tough on Westbrook around here but he is part of the reason OKC is so good. He took over a game in the Finals and dropped 40 last year. He is capable of doing that any night out.

He plays with passion and it comes off as him being a hot head. Personally, I love the way he plays.

With that said, he does have room to mature. OKC's window it wide open and hasn't even began to close shut. I don't think OKC will win a title this year but they got there last year with him running the show. There is no reason to believe they can't get back.

Miami is just a really good team.

He's also capable of temper tantrums and ignoring Durant.

If Westbrook played on some average NBA team, they'd be fine with the highs and lows and he'd be labeled a very entertaining player. He's the point guard of a franchise that is trying to win a championship, though. Big difference. I just can't see the Thunder getting there as long as his play and attitude remain so erratic and unpredictable.

I don't think OKC is going to win a title this year. All I'm saying is that they aren't a title contender without him.

Nice of the Bulls to show some pride on their home court. It's only a nationally-televised Christmas day game.

Denver just gave up 14 points in the first three minutes of the second quarter.

How is that possible?

**No coincidences** · 12-25-12, 11:42 PM

Worst defensive quarter I've seen from a basketball team all year.

38 points in 11 minutes. That's hard to do.

**No coincidences** · 12-25-12, 11:47 PM

LAC/DEN under 103.5 2H (5U to win 5)

**No coincidences** · 12-26-12, 06:51 PM

Fade away....

NO +3.5 (8.8U to win 8)
UTA -4 (3.3U to win 3)
MIN -5.5 (3.15U to win 3)
PHI +9 (2.16U to win 2)
WAS -110 (1.1U to win 1)

Still considering Phoenix and the Lakers.
