Wizards lost to the Jazz last night. They and Toronto are now 3 back of first so it looks like barring an epic collapse, the C's wil do no worse than the 2 seed.
Seems like one of those trades that helped both teams as Pelicans have been playing pretty well since March 10. Here's some stats during those 11 games:One of the small but fun things about the second half has been the post-Boogie Kings are actually pretty fun to watch.
How do you figure? He's at 76 games and the Thunder have played 76 games. He could play 82.Westbrook has clinched averaging a triple double.
He's played in 76 games and has 791 assists and 809 boards. At most he'll play in 79 games.
I saw a scroll yesterday that he needed 11 more boards and 29 more assists to clinch, which adds up to those season totals.Westbrook has clinched averaging a triple double.

Sacramento EastThe Magic really are a tire fire in a dumpster aren't they?

Bad numbers. I read he had 3 games left. Mea culpaHow do you figure? He's at 76 games and the Thunder have played 76 games. He could play 82.
They finish with Bulls, Celtics, Bulls. I'd be surprised if they win more than 1 of those.Please Nets, don't make me think of a top 5 draft pick list. The ping pong balls have just been too unkind for too long.
That makes sense, thanks for talking me off the ledgeThey finish with Bulls, Celtics, Bulls. I'd be surprised if they win more than 1 of those.
The Bulls that are losing to Knicks right now?They finish with Bulls, Celtics, Bulls. I'd be surprised if they win more than 1 of those.
I loved the bit where they kept their starters in down 15 with shot clock off to launch early clock 3s to try and stat pad, then lost their shit when Lance made a layup instead of dribbling out the clock. Toronto seems like such a mentally soft team come April of every season.Tronna collapses in the second half against Indiana, suffers 34-point swing, loses balance and dignity.
All the Bulls need to do is win 1 of 2 for us. We know the Celtics will take care of business.The Bulls that are losing to Knicks right now?
Certainly is. Hard to compare eras exactly, but I'm not sure Oscar Robertson's season would be ahead of Westbrook's. Interesting footnote that Big O was able to win a ring 10 years later (with a little help from then Lew Alcindor of course). Wonder how long Westbrook can sustain this almost inconceivable pace.There are certain records that might never be broken, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game streak, Cal Ripken's games played streak. I never thought I would live to see anyone even touch The Big O's record for a triple-double over a whole season. Is Russell Westbrook's 2016-17 one of the greatest individual regular seasons ever?
Certainly up there with a few seasons from James' first run in Cleveland and the pre-Pippen era Jordan.There are certain records that might never be broken, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game streak, Cal Ripken's games played streak.

It's a team that had won 4 in a row, beating Cle and 3 other decent teams. Hard to know what's next with them.The Bulls look horrendous. Not the team I want to count on.
Rebounds are great, but this reminded me that the triple double stats don't completely capture the value James and Jordan could bring by controlling both ends of the court. So, from a counting stats place Westbrook's season is up there, but it gets lower when I look at a more general 'best individual season ever' perspective.Certainly up there with a few seasons from James' first run in Cleveland and the pre-Pippen era Jordan.
Which is why Harden will finish, at worst, top 3 in the MVP race.The Rockets are a lottery team without James Harden. He also has 20 triple doubles.
Hawks win by 14. Without Bazemore, Schroder and Howard. On the road, second night of a back to back, against a full strength Cavs team. Hard to read too much into individual games.Hawks just went on a tear to turn a close game into a 14 point lead at Cleveland with 4 minutes left. Cavs announcers are eviscerating their team.
