Blake Griffin's last 7 games... 36 + 10 with assists, steals, and shooting 64% from the field.

Good FT's too. Only down is 3-4 record over those games

Drummond also carrying his all star weekend form over with 16 points, 22 boards (11 offensive) and 2 blocks.

Dear NBA

Please stop awarding fucking free throws to the offensive player when THEY create the contact!!!

Also, please apologise to the fans of the Rockets, Heat and Clippers when this affects Harden, Crawford, Wade and CP3s scoring averages dramatically!

Sincerely

Fan who hates intentional foul mongers

Westbrook back today

 

[exzibit3]

A bit of a ar$e whooping by the Heat on OKC. Hopefully OKC doesn't take too long to get the chemistry and integration of Westbrook back into it. Lots of static movement on offense, isolation plays and no ball movement.

LeBron starting to heat up

Last 4 Regular season games

37 points, 36 points, 42 points and 33 Points - shooting at 59% from the field

Fisher smashing Lebron.

Fisher smashing Lebron.

Is Lebron THE biggest p*ssy in the League?

Fisher is strong but come on Chosen1

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

wow Lebron is a flopper but that is a freakin hard smash, wtf is Fisher thinking lol. Not much of a flop if any by Lebron there, i've got no criticism to dish out

LeBron is setting the screen. That was my job when I played and you never get knocked over, especially by a smaller guy. Very soft, but hey, it is LeBron.

Sweet dunk!

Seriously? Ha ha, irrational LBJ hate right here.

I actually agree with @drobfan8 - he saw fisher coming - in fact he steps across into his path. Yes fisher is going full speed and braces for the contact but
It is a 40 year old 6 footer, running into a 6 foot 8 tank. Lebron should be able to take that hit and have put fisher on his ass.

That's not how you set a screen at all. You're supposed to be a wall. Fisher is strong but not as strong as Lebron. Lebron could have cleaned him up and no way he would have gotten a foul.

You must have never played the game and your love of Lebron is blurring your eyes.

 

[Jaames]

Not sure how he is not meant to not go down when a 95kg person is running at him at top speed whilst he is standing still.

I've seen front row forwards be run over the top of by much smaller guys in NRL, does that make the players pussies? I also fail to see what age has to do with it.

As much as I put shit on Lebron lol, we'll have to disagree on this one, Fisher is like a wrecking ball coming around the corner there. One of the most solid knock overs I've seen in this softening league for a while IMO

Whilst I agree Fisher was coming at him like a cannonball - watch the way he falls though, doesn't even try to stay on his feet. He saw him coming and either doesn't brace for the contact or was always going to go down?


This is how Lebron can/should set a screen -

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Agree MAYBE he could have stayed on his feet, but then wouldn't he have had the foul on him? I'm assuming the foul was called on Fisher here cause I haven't actually seen the real time footage. So what's the point?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

All said and done, playing under the current flop warning rule system, I love BOTH players' play on this - Fisher's like "take some of THIS dude, KAPOWWWW" Lebron's like "I'm an immoveable obje -eeeeeecccttt aaaagghhhhh. Damn that dudes solid"
