[Skitch]

Henry got 28 minutes tonight and had 14 pts 10 rebounds.

[jsglow]

Chick needs to put up some pics.  We were courtside for the game.  Henry looked solid.  BTW, Dwight was a DNP-CD.  But he still got his paycheck.

I'll take "Things heard while dating Glow" for $600, Alex.

[tower912]

Exactly.   Usually that apology goes the other way.

That's just cold. Funny, but cold.

At this point, I am not going to even post my picture of the alleged "footlong grilled cheese sandwich" I ordered last night before the game other than to say that the estimate of the length was definitely done by a man.

Did Glow at least bring some bacon for that sandwich?

[real chili 83]

Did he bringBacon or BACON

[4everwarriors]

Hoo said dey maid bacon courtside, hey?

[Newsdreams]

Crowder with a monster offensive game tonight 6 3's 20 pts. Still 3rd qtr OK down big now with a rally down 12.

[Newsdreams]

Ok ties it end 3rd qtr after being down 25 pts

[MU82]

Incredible comeback by OKC, incredible performance by Westbrook.

In another MU in NBA note ...

Jimmy was so abused by Harden all series that he should have filed a criminal complaint. But hey, it's happened to other very good defenders, too. Harden is one of the two most difficult players to guard in the league - he and Durant are 1 and 1A, in whatever order - and the Rockets do a great job of accentuating his talent. Capela has become an extraordinary pick-and-roll 5.

I would have felt bad for Jimmy, but it's impossible for me to feel bad for any guy who makes a bazillion dollars playing a game! Too bad for the Wolves that he got hurt and missed a ton of games because it dropped them from a possible 3 or 4 seed to the 8 seed. There are no easy opponents in the West, but playing the Rockets in the first round was tough.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

They'll be back in the playoffs and Jimmy was clearly the reason they were in the playoffs, I don't think Thibs is the right coach for that team though

Came to play right after the knee injury, not expected, plus ankle and wrist injuries that he would not acknowledge because he didn't want them to be used as an excuse, true Warrior.

Harden was far from why the wolves lost this series

[MU82]

Harden was far from why the wolves lost this series

Well, he averaged 29 pts, 5 reb, 7 asst and 2.4 steals, and he dominated every significant run the Rockets had in the series ... so not TOO far.

But yes, there were many reasons the Rockets beat the Timberwolves.

Okay, not the NBA, but check out this tweet a teammate posted of Davante in Japan.

The translation is "I'm just not doing it".

I guess when you lead the league in scoring and average a double-double (28.8 ppg/10.0 rpg) you can do, or not do, what you want

An interesting research report on Jamil Wilson.

Dwight Buycks was cut by the Pistons today. Hopefully he can find a new NBA team over the course of the summer .  His days were numbered once Detroit let Stan Van Gundy go.
