The Miami and Orlando games are scheduled at a decent time, letting me grab a bite and actually get some sleep before morning... I wonder when they’ll finally scrap this NBA schedule on 01/09.🙂

Quote : with Stoudemire questionable due to a sprained left ankle, the Knicks look to get their offense on track and avoid their third straight loss Saturday night when they visit the Sacramento Kings.

Arthur Hill2 said:I think the Chicago Bulls should take the Clippers tonight. The LA Clippers still haven't quite found their rhythm, and their defense looks way too disorganized right now.

The matchup against Blake Griffin should also go the Bulls' way, especially since he'll be guarded defensively by a struggling Carlos Boozer.

"I wanted to be more aggressive and attack the lane. Fouls are just something I have to deal with; I can't let them get in my head," he said. "I'm just glad we walked away with the win."

Chicago's offense will now attempt to exploit a Los Angeles squad that allowed the Spurs to shoot 56.3 percent and put up 48 points in the paint.

Thunder notebook: Russell Westbrook struggles after altercation with Kevin Durant

Russell Westbrook let his emotions get The Best of Him Wednesday Night, resulting in a heated exchange with Kevin Durant on the bench during a second-quarter timeout.
Westbrook simply never found his rhythm again. He ended the night with what was arguably the poorest performance of his entire career—just four points on a dismal 0-for-13 shooting night, alongside six assists, three rebounds, and four turnovers.
The friction seemed to ignite with only 3 1/2 minutes left in the second quarter. After driving into the paint, Westbrook kicked the ball out to Thabo Sefolosha in the corner. When Sefolosha declined a wide-open three-point attempt, Westbrook snapped, yelling at Sefolosha to "shoot the (expletive) ball."
Sefolosha and several teammates, including Durant and center Kendrick Perkins, tried to settle Westbrook down during his subsequent trip to the free throw line. However, those emotions boiled over toward the bench just a minute later.
Durant appeared to try and calm Westbrook once more, but Westbrook seemingly took offense to the way Durant approached him. The two players began shouting at one another and eventually had to be pulled apart.
Durant patted Westbrook on the head as they headed back onto the court following the timeout, and the pair appeared to be back on the same page for the remainder of the game.
“We’re going to disagree sometimes, like I’ve always been saying,” Durant said. “But I’m behind him 110 percent, and he’s the same way with me. And you seen when we came on the floor we clicked and everything started to work from there.”
Westbrook was unavailable for comment following the game. It looked as though he had already cleared out of the locker room before the media arrived.

Arthur Hill2 said:Casual betting today, serious business tomorrow:

Blake Griffin is an over (he put up 22 last time; now he has Chris Paul coming in to provide those assists, and he dropped 31 against the Spurs last game).
The Pacers (figuratively speaking, Toronto is rough, but the Pacers crushed Detroit at home even with a subpar starting lineup).
Tony Parker is an under (I have no idea why, perhaps because he mentioned he doesn't expect the Spurs to be contenders this season, or maybe because he's being protected defensively by a solid Chris Paul?).
Miami -9.5 (I highly doubt the Bobcats will manage to keep the Heat within a 10-point margin).

Odds are 8, stakes are minimal.

Good luck to everyone, though you might want to follow someone else tonight 👋!

hahahaha
let them have it.

this Miami squad is honestly nauseating when they play like this.James is just out there on his own; nobody is helping him.
it’s like they’re all just standing there acting like statues.

I almost hope the Bobcats pull it off.
Good luck to them, because I am checking out.

While with the Hornets, Paul lost 11 of 13 Games in San Antonio, including playoffs. However, he has averaged 26.3 points while shooting 56.2 percent from the field and 59.2 percent (13 for 22) from 3-point range in his last eight visits.
