NBA Season 2018 - 2019

Russell Westbrook with a 20 point 20 rebound and 21 assist triple double! Incredible! 

WOW!!!! 

Only player in NBA history to have recorded a 20-20-20 game was Wilt back in 1968: 22 pts, 25 rebs, 21 assists

Btw, Manute Bol had a 32 points - 29 rebounds - 31 blocks game, but it didn’t happen in the NBA (or even Division-I college basketball). He was playing Division-II NCAA ball at Bridgeport.

Am I the only one who sees this as blatant stat chasing against a gutted Lakers squad in a blowout?

Gutted is right.  Look at the Lakers box score.  It looks like a g league team with a couple Big3 guys.  The 20 assists is really the only part of it that I’m impressed by.  8-23 from the field and rebound chasing after the game is decided.  And then the personal celebration for a personal “achievement.”  And then his willingness to cooperate with the media only when it fits his agenda knowing everyone will be saying how great he is.  He’s obviously a very selfish player.

I remember a game when bird could've had a quadruple double with steals, points, assist, rebounds and they wanted to put him back in to get it, he needed, I think another steal, and Bird says : what's the point the games decided." That's what winners do.

Agree 100%.  Also when an entire team tries to let a player play for numbers it doesn’t leave a good taste in my mouth, and it’s not really cool for the rest of the team, even if they are on board.  There is a culture right now that’s stronger than ever of guys such as Booker, Harden, and Westbrook looking for monster stat lines even more than wins.  Of course they’d prefer to do both but it doesn’t always work that way.

Wow, I've never seen that story.

Bird is my favourite player of all time, and I'll happily argue him over LeBron (and perhaps MJ) every day of the week

Sixers blowing this game down the stretch. The third seed is technically still in reach, though I think the four seed provides us the best playoff path.

No one ever saw the game like Larry bird.

They have two more games against the Bulls... nuff said'

[nickagneta]

Miami with another loss. It would be nice if the Celtics two wins late in the season kept Wade out of the playoffs in his final year. That would make me feel really happy😃

[OnPoint]

We really need the Pelicans to win tonight.

We really need the Pelicans to win tonight.

Yup, and if they clinch #4 on Sunday, it would be great for the C’s to lose to WAS in the last game.

If this Memphis pick conveys, the pipeline for other team’s potential lottery picks has totally dried up correct?

Yep that's the end of it.

Omg Randle is killing us down the stretch. He missed three out of four free throws in the last minute!
