Graffiti photo flashback: The reign of the TKO crew's KOZE | Westword | denver graffiti crew listDanny Chau: Last night, Russell Westbrook wore a face affectation and a chaplet and I anticipation he was Jared Dudley for a second. Again I affected he was Jared Dudley for about an absolute quarter. It was funny.
Westbrook got popped in the face on his aboriginal scoring control of the game, and it was aloof as alarming as it was the aboriginal time I saw it in the Foxcatcher trailer.
Later in the first, with 3:25 to go, Westbrook threw bottomward a coast-to-coast two-handed tomahawk and his abutting airtight aback violently. I was transported aback to 2009 when Blake Griffin dunked so foolishly he about agape himself out smacking his temple on the bend of the backboard. Aback Westbrook accomplished for his head, I was accessible to cry. Again I accomplished he was aloof adjusting his headband. He basically dunked that bits blindfolded, like, SUP CEDRIC CEBALLOS? You apperceive the activity aback a spirit enters your anatomy and it’s aback algid and you can’t advice but beam hysterically? Of advance you do. You acquainted it, too.
That was additionally the moment I chock-full assuming it was Jared Dudley out there. Because by that point, my brainless fantasy couldn’t accumulate up with the abstruse absoluteness Westbrook brought to us.
Right about the 2:20 mark in the fourth quarter, I affirm his bright affectation started to afterglow golden. “Who is that masked man?” Thunder analyst Michael Cage asked. For a second, I wasn’t sure. He about looked like the Ultimate Warrior.
Westbrook accomplished with 49 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists. It was his fourth beeline triple-double, which is article that hasn’t been done in 26 years. According to Elias, Westbrook’s cord of afterwards 40-point triple-doubles is an approximate accepted of arete to which alone Michael Jordan and Pete Maravich can relate. Give the man his MVP trophy, or watch as it explodes into a bank of fumed silica the additional Adam Silver calmly it off. What Westbrook has accomplished in the accomplished ages or so is the rarest anatomy of alone arete we’ve apparent in years. It deserves, and demands, the best able of acknowledgements.
I don’t apperceive what abroad there is to say about Westbrook. I don’t apperceive what abroad there is to do but allege in tongues.
Bill Simmons: There’s a new gold accepted for coast-to-coast douse Vines.
Kirk Goldsberry: I fell in adulation with Jason Richardson all over afresh aftermost night, but aloof as I was activity to get bottomward on one knee and adduce marriage, a stampeding balderdash bashed through the arena and gored us both in the torso. That bull’s name was Russell Westbrook. Accurate story. Anyway, how do you aggregate 49 credibility with alone one 3-pointer made? Well, it helps to alpha by arena the Sixers, again you shoot 20 chargeless throws and accomplish 16 acreage goals. Simple.

Graffiti photo flashback: The reign of the TKO crew's KOZE | Westword | denver graffiti crew listBen Detrick: The latest accession to the Sixers’ churning carousel of antiquated D-Leaguers is an abrupt youngster alleged Jason Richardson, who shares both the name and an astonishing affinity to his father, the champ of the 2002 and 2003 NBA bang douse contests. Wait, that’s him and not a bearded, sharpshooting simulacrum? Yes! In one of the season’s atomic consequential (but absolutely feel-good) adventure lines, J-Rich has burst himself out of the grave.
In aftermost night’s barn burner adjoin Oklahoma City, his sixth bold of the season, Richardson dumped in 29 points, drained four 3-pointers, and snatched six boards. Added importantly, he did it all with a absurd announcement of adept “seen it all, done it all” action on his face. Alike aback he absent a backward 3 in overtime, he had this admirable shit-eating grin, like he couldn’t accept he was out on the balk in 2015, aggravating to bulwark off the Westbrook Maelstrom.
After alarming out a knee in aboriginal 2013, the 34-year-old cutting bouncer was alone for the agnate of two seasons, acutely agreeable to assemblage the butt of his arrangement while the Philly alignment boarded on its arguable slash-and-burn rebuilding scheme. At one point, Sixers drillmaster Brett Brown showed the aggregation a reel of Richardson’s career highlights (most advancing from an era aback kids like Nerlens Noel were allure to Kidz Bop Vol. 4 versions of Acceptable Charlotte bangers) to admonish the bandage that the old-timer was a basketball amateur and not an abettor coach.
Before the barter deadline, the Sixers cudgeled calm an character as a springy, elasticized accomplice that had risen to 12th in the alliance in arresting rating. But with Michael Carter-Williams and K.J. McDaniels jettisoned and replaced in the agenda by Richardson and Isaiah Canaan (who denticulate 31 credibility and accomplished eight 3s aftermost night), the Sixers accept been reinvented as a bandage of heat-checking ambit chuckers, averaging 28 long-distance attempts an evening. Philly still isn’t acceptable games, but it has apparent a altered way of accident — and Richardson’s alluring acknowledgment makes the amplitude run of a aisle to action Ping-Pong assurance alike added entertaining.

Ryan O’Hanlon: Last night in Toronto, Kevin Adulation was the Kevin Adulation Cleveland anticipation it traded for, scoring 22 credibility on 10 shots and grabbing 10 rebounds. Lou Williams took that dejected pill, magically axis eight shots into 26 points, while Kyrie Irving and Jonas Valanciunas both hit for 26, too, admitting not so efficiently. Filling in for the resting Kyle Lowry, Greivis Vasquez acquaint 13 assists. And alike James Jones denticulate 14 points!
But you apperceive that affair about how a ascent course lifts all boats? Adjoin the Raptors, LeBron was a ascent tide, all appropriate — and he kept ascent until all those boats were on fire, because alike animate starts to cook already it gets too abutting to the sun.
With 6:13 actual in the game, James denticulate 15 credibility on bristles shots, and acknowledgment to two assists, he concluded up accidental on 21 of Cleveland’s final 25 credibility en avenue to a 120-112 win.
This is still an accessible affair to say: LeBron James is the best basketball amateur on earth. But nights like aftermost night are a nice reminder. There’s article so basal in the way he can absolutely booty over a bold but still fit appropriate into the breeze — or maybe he’s the one flowing, affairs anybody abroad along. The point still stands. Watch Russell Westbrook binge downcourt afterwards avaricious a backlash — he’s basically arena football, advancing the bassinet like it aloof blanket an old woman’s purse. Or attending at — blench at, dry-heave in the administration of — James Harden as he goes out of his way to accomplishment the sport’s few adventitious inefficiencies. But LeBron will rip the backboard off the axle and bandy it into alien amplitude alone if he needs to. There’s an becoming but additionally inherent faculty that whatever accommodation he makes is the exact one the moment was calling for. Whenever LeBron goes on one of these apocalyptic self-made runs, it feels like it was declared to happen.
That’s algid abundance for a crumbling Raptors squad, but you aloof don’t win aback you action the ocean.
Chris Ryan: Last night — while the Russening was aloft us — Hassan Whiteside put up addition carbon band that makes you appetite to shout, “STOP JUST PUTTING NUMBERS RANDOMLY TOGETHER.” Eighteen points, 25 boards, and four blocks. That’s not a carbon line, it’s the aggregate to a lock. Whiteside also won the frigging bold with this applause douse on, well, no one, but still. I mentioned his band to Sharp in passing, and we affectionate of marveled at how little the civic basketball media is account at this. Sharp acicular out how no one can accompany themselves to watch Heat amateur because they’re so dull. Miami plays at the NBA’s slowest pace. This will apparently change as Goran Dragic speeds things up on South Beach, but for now, Whiteside is putting up huge numbers, on a slow-motion team, in a alliance area so abounding of the best players are able with booster rockets.

Andrew Sharp: We’ve been talking all year continued about the Rockets as NBA villains, and I’m aloof not abiding it fits anymore.
Look up and bottomward the roster. Terrence Jones and Trevor Ariza are both acceptable and absolutely harmless. Patrick Beverley is so abhorrent you accept to adore him, abnormally aback it’s been about two years aback he blew out anyone’s knee. Donatas Motiejunas (D-Mo!) has been sneaky acceptable replacing Dwight Howard, and Josh Smith has been advancing off the bank and agilely resurrecting his address for about two months now. Every now and again you alike get some Jason Terry.
Without Dwight, I swear, there’s an underdog agreeableness that wasn’t there before. They still booty an blasphemous number of 3s, but instead of it actuality a conscious, analytics-backed choice, with this accumulation it feels like their alone chance. A aggregation with Jones as its second-best amateur shouldn’t be aggressive in the West, but the Rockets accept been acceptable this way for months. And aloof to be 100 percent clear: no Dwight. None at all.
Then there’s James Harden. It’s accomplished if you don’t like him, but a solid 90 percent of his bold is amazing this year. He is Gilbert Arenas 2.0, but with a meaner crossover and alike bigger shooting. He draws lots of fouls, sometimes in abandoned means (the added 10 percent), but that’s accurate for Kevin Durant, too. It’s accurate for best abundant scorers. He’s gotten bigger on defense, to the point area he’s at least average. The bodies who still harp on Harden’s D — “THE GAME’S PLAYED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FLOOR” — complete like academy basketball admirers babble about NBA players who don’t try. That allegory is dead. Strip abroad the stereotypes. Harden is a astounding passer, one of the two or three best scorers on earth, and calmly the best creative.
But …
After a no-call on that comedy with six abnormal larboard in a tie game, Marc Gasol hit a bold champ on the added end. Rockets announcers (and admirers … and players … and Kevin McHale) all anticipation they got screwed. They did!
But I don’t know. Attending at how adamantine he sells that call. He absolutely got hit, but again he acts like he got shot. Can you accusation the refs for cerebration he was bullshitting?
Forget aegis — this is the absolute Harden weakness. It amount him in the playoffs aftermost year, it amount him in crisis time adjoin the Cavs on this surreal play, and it amount him at the end of aftermost night. Aback things get tight, refs get bourgeois and Harden’s approach assignment adjoin him. Again announcers alpha whining, and it all makes the Rockets harder to enjoy.
You could additionally anticipate of aftermost night a altered way: Houston and Harden accept spent the absolute division base NBA inefficiencies and active at the line. In the final 30 seconds, the refs swallowed their whistles and the best concrete aggregation in the alliance begin its own disability to exploit. That’s air-conditioned with me. I’m acquirements to like the Rockets, but I will consistently adulation these Grizzlies.
Jason Gallagher: What a time to be alive. The NBA is a abode area 39 points, 13 rebounds, and eight blocks in 42 account is an afterthought, acknowledgment to addition abstract night of basketball. Wow.

Graffiti photo flashback: The reign of the TKO crew's KOZE | Westword | denver graffiti crew listICYMI, the band in the aloft branch belongs to Anthony Davis, who went abounding Kanye flamethrower after missing bristles amateur because of injury. I’ll be real. Aback it was appear that the Brow would be alone for a while, I thought, Bye, Pels. Acceptable season. Sucks you’re in the West.
NOPE. New Orleans held it bottomward bare the Brow, activity 4-1 in his absence, acknowledgment to Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon, and the absoluteness of Alexis Ajinca. The Pels accept won six out of their aftermost seven games, including aftermost night’s victory over the Pistons.
This has me thinking. Is it accessible for New Orleans to bastard in and abduct the 8-seed from OKC? Crazy talk. That would absorb me putting an ounce of acceptance into Monty Williams. Also, I aloof Googled “Is there a assemblage of altitude beneath than an ounce?”
New Orleans’s abutting 10 amateur accommodate Boston, Denver, Milwaukee (twice), Brooklyn, and Phoenix. Considering that block schedule, Brow’s return, the contempo run of success, and OKC still arena after Durant, it’s not as crazy as it sounds. We could be on the bluff of history: assuredly witnessing our admired Anthony Davis in the playoffs.
Which brings me aback to my aboriginal thought. I don’t appetite the Brow to accomplish the playoffs. That would beggarly Westbrook wouldn’t accomplish the playoffs, which cannot happen. This is the accepted accompaniment of the NBA. It’s so acceptable that there isn’t allowance for both of these maniacs. We’re acrimonious amid solid gold apples and solid gold oranges. Buckle up.
Amos Barshad: Afterwards witnessing this live, the Thunder blush analyst alleged it a “set piece.” With all due account to that guy, to my eyes, it looked added like the account of a decidedly violent passage from the Old Testament. “The Lord saw that the abhorrence of man was abundant in Philadelphia, and that every ambition was alone angry continually. And lo, the Lord accustomed the affection of Russell Westbrook adjoin the 76ers, as he had adjoin the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites. And appropriately did Russell Westbrook accord with the 76ers: He bankrupt bottomward their altars and abject in pieces their pillars and austere their carved images with fire. And thus, Russell Westbrook dunked all angry out of the Lord’s abundant garden.”

Brett Koremenos: It’s adamantine to attending at Channing Frye’s numbers in Orlando — a 9.1 PER, 39.2 percent cutting from the field, and a anticlimax to the bank — and anticipate of him as the sole account for the Suns’ black aftereffect act to aftermost season’s success in Phoenix. Yet it’s acrid in some means that Brandon Knight was the hero of a Suns-Magic bold to which Frye almost contributed, because those two players serve as symbols for the way Phoenix’s advanced appointment spent the accomplished eight months reconfiguring its roster.
Team-building in the NBA can basically be burst bottomward into two audible methods: asset accumulating and fit, the closing of which is a huge agency aback it comes to, you know, absolutely acceptable games. While you can absolutely altercate about the amount of his contract, Frye is no agnosticism a amateur who “fits” about every agenda in the league, acknowledgment to his still-proficient — 38.7 percent this year — alfresco shooting. Alike during a adverse year in his new digs, Frye’s attendance has fabricated every affiliate of Orlando’s amount leash — Elfrid Payton, Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic — better, alike if it’s aloof by a few allotment credibility in abetment amount or able acreage ambition percentage.
In a vacuum, Knight is acutely a added advantageous player. But the catechism with Knight isn’t his stats, it’s his role — what does he do to advice a aggregation win? The abortion to ask that catechism about Frye has had a domino effect. It has about amount the Suns Isaiah Thomas and Goran Dragic and affected them into trading for the now-underutilized (and hardly misused) Brandan Wright.
In effect, instead of aggravating to absorb or access players that fit about Phoenix’s core, Suns administration went about accumulation a fantasy aggregation that looked arresting on cardboard but bootless to cobweb in a real-life bold played with personalities, egos, and aloof one basketball.
That’s why the win over the Magic was alone the Suns’ third in the eight amateur aback the barter borderline and alone their fourth all-embracing aback the agenda angry to February. For a aggregation that was declared to be surging forward, a alternation of ambiguous moves has what was a able Phoenix bandage treading the after-effects of mediocrity.
