Popovich on if he still gives Kerr advice: "I hate Steve Kerr. If he asks me anything I tell him to go urinate in a bucket."

Embiid is huge.

Crazy how agile he seems for his size. Looks like he could be elite one day.

I mean really. I wouldn't expect anything less from some opponents fans and he had an opportunity to play along ala Wade with purple shirt guy in Charlotte.

Tristan Thompson is dating one of the Kardashian. Rumor has it that Lebron told him she's not allowed to come around the team...ever.


Lebron knows the curse of the Kardashian is real!!!

ya well.. hollywoodlife.com or something says Tristan aint taking no crap!!!

“Tristan isn’t taking any crap from his teammates anymore. As far as he’s concerned, Khloe’s coming to every damn game she chooses,” the insider reveals. “Tristan told LeBron straight up before last night’s game that Khloe was coming and that was that.” Boom!

lol doubtful.

Westbrook with the 50 point triple double, 1st one since 1975.

He only attempted 44 shots too.

I could see it... he got his 5yr deal and title... he doesn't need to suck up anymore.

[nick]

ya plus he's from Toronto so hes a bad motherfucker. Lebron was probably partying in town last night.

Anthony Davis is pretty good. A little perspective on his 2 game start:

Players with at least 90 points in the first two games of any season going back to 1963:

95 - Anthony Davis
91 - Michael Jordan in 1986

Players with at least 30 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 steals, and 5 assists cumulative in the first two games of any season going back to 1983:

33/6/9/8 - Anthony Davis
31/6/5/13 - Hakeem Olajuwon in 1993

Davis's game score through two games is 43.1. The next closest is Michael Jordan in 1989 with a 35.6. The difference of 7.5 between Davis and Jordan is the difference between Jordan and #33 on the list. Game score goes back to 1983.

Since 1983, only 10 players have had at least 45 points, 15 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals in a game during the regular season. 8 players have done it once in their career - Larry Nance, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Shaq, Chris Webber, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, and Dwight Howard. Olajuwon has done it twice in his career, once in 1990 and again in 1996. Anthony Davis had done it twice in this season already. He has as many 45/15/2/2 games this year as Olajuwon has in his career, and no other player has more than one.

No player since at least 1983 has had at least 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 assists more than once in a season. Davis has done it twice already.

Most 45/15 games in a season since 1983? 2, by Davis, Barkley, and Karl Malone.

And the Pels are 0-2.

Was just talking about AD at dinner. Is he a free agent anytime soon? Was thinking he'd be due soon unless he's had an extension I was unaware of...?
