Just lost to Memphis.

Man, fuck this.

OKC 103 - 75 SAS

I must say I was very worried about this game, as the Spurs won 5 of their last 6, including wins against Hawks and Wolves (30pt difference).
Still, we managed to play very very well defensively, and got a win by a margin of 28.
-> What a game by Mr. Inefficient Josh Smith. 6-11 FG for 22 points, and he even managed to knock down 10-10FT. Also stuffed the stat sheet with 9 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks and a steal. Great game.
-> George and Howard combined for 20 points (only) in 15 shots which is very efficient. Nice to see we can win quality games not relying only on two guys to score.
-> Millsap in his last game wanted to showcase himself for the Cavs. 17/9 in 26 minutes, nice last game. His contributions will be missed, hope Jefferson can play better than him.
-> Kemba returned and his best contribution was defensively. He and Barea limited Lawson to 4-21FG and 0-6 FT. Absolutely great, both of them, and also our interior defense, recording 12 blocks tonight.

They shot 32% to our 47% (12 to 56% on 3pts). Huge win considering both MIN and DEN lost, as we want to consolidate a playoff position. Still much to grow but we're finally playing better basketball and winning some though games.

Got wasted by Boston...Wow.

Lost to the Suns on the road. We sat Jefferson because of the trade so we were up against it to begin with.

Incredible how well the Heat have been playing since their GM left them. Durant is out of control right now.
He was game's top scorer in 21 of 24 contests, including 10 out of 10 in December, and is BALLING. 40PPG is AMAZING on efficient numbers. And he is putting 6 boards 3 assist a steal and two blocks just for the league to take notice.

This was supposed to be Harden / Rubio's year but, man, Durant must be leading MVP candidate in any ballot right now. Crazy numbers, he's too damn good.

beat Portland at home...

two very rough away losses at GS and LAC. Tried to experiment a little bit with different lineups but did not work out. Need to get back to basics with these guys and keep it simple. Overthinking it a bit. Everybody except Lillard struggled mightily and we could not hit a shot from downtown...

SOmehow we went 4-0 on this road trip with two very good wins against Indiana and Washington and two quality wins against Boston and Milwaukee.

This team is playing very balanced now and i'm debating over whether I want to break up the chemistry they're having right now.

W: Denver Nuggets 102 @ 127 New York Knicks
Ricky Rubio: 16 points, 19 asists, 6 steals
Chris Bosh: 26 points, 8 rebounds
JaVale McGee: 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks

9 point first quarter lead by the Nuggets, that even made it a 14 point lead. But it soon changed for our team, as we scored 37, 40 and 34 in the last three quarters to gain a largest lead of as much as 33 points (that's a 47 point difference between leads!)

Guided by Rubio's 19 dimes and Bosh's 26 points, the Knicks managed to change the outcome of the game from what it looked like a difficult one at the end of the first, to a blowout win at the end of regulation.
