    Don’t know what year this is from but guessing early 80’s?
    Denver and Cleveland are throwing me off 
     
    The team name of the Washington Bullets was the greatest name ever IMO.
    That name actually came from when the team was in Baltimore. It's a reference to the Phoenix Shot Tower, a National Landmark in Baltimore, for its role in producing shot balls.
    I prefer it to be how DC starts shit and shoots people, lol.

    I stand by my long standing opinion that Russell Westbrook is the most overrated player in modern NBA history. This Jazz series is making my point fairly obvious. Dude has zero leadership ability and is the most immature "Superstar" I've ever witnessed. The fact that some people put him in the same conversation as LeBron, KD, Curry, Davis, Harden, etc is beyond me. When Paul George, who's overrated himself leaves town in the summer there's literally no other semi star player who'll ever play with Russ. OKC will be a 35 win team next year, mark it down now.

    to paraphrase one of my favorite sports movies 'Westbrook rather look good and lose"

    and when did the Jazz become orange yellow and black or whatever the fuck those uniforms are supposed to be?:

    Agree 100% and he showed his true colours when Rubio got a Triple Double against him and he put stopping Rubio ahead of playing as a team and trying to win. He had 4 fouls early and forgot that the Jazz are a VERY GOOD TEAM. 
    I was watching Philly yesterday and if Simmons played like Westbrook, he would have stolen at least  6 boards off teammates, but he just waited fort the pass instead of worrying about his stats and still ended up with 10 boards.
    Russ's season averages of Triple Doubles holds ZERO significance for me and unless he changes how he plays, he will never win a title

    I love Westbrook but hate his personal demons.  If he could be slightly less selfish and NOT do it all himself then he'd be an all-time great.

    His averaging a triple double 2 years in a row is still a stupid feat and should be admired regardless of the post season failure or success.

    The Cavs/Indiana game shows why Lebron is the best and pisses me off at the same time.

    Great ending, sure.  Put them away though when you were 10 points up...

    Look, I think Westbrook is an athletic freak and is very good at basketball. Unfortunately his bball IQ is not on the same tier as the absolute best players in the game, and this hurts him. His aggro, ultra athletic game style will only last so long and then he will drop off a cliff if he can't adjust his game.

    This years triple double feats, get no admiration from me as they are not in the best interests of his teams results. Last season, I did think his feats were more valuable to OKC and deserve more respect.But with the addition of PG and Carmelo, he and Donovan needed to adjust OKC's way of playing. 
    His rebound stats are a joke though. They do not come in the natural flow of the game, but are chased for stat purposes.

    45 points for Russ today on 39 shots!! at 43%

    Yes, they won, but Brewer shot the ball 4 times, Adams 6 times, who all shoot in their spots at decent %

    Can't stand watching his type of basketball

    He proved his point, lol.

    I hope that Rubio lights him up the next game.

    Nope, NBA said it was a goaltend.  And damn right, I'm hating.  That's MY team that got screwed!

    I keep looking for a better slower look at it.  It looks like he throws the ball up but doesn't go off the glass?  I can't see it...

    Go Lebron.

    Doesn't really matter what you can see. NBA said it hit the glass and should have been called a goaltend.  Pacers got screwed. That play in that situation is put under a microscope any other time except Wednesday night.  Wonder why?

    Woah... So the missed call on the other end just before that didn't screw the Cavs?  You know where the ball bounced on the baseline so lebron let it go but they called it in?

    NBA said that was a missed call too.  Call that one right and the Oladipo layup doesn't happen.

    So let's say they get that call correct.  That gives the Cavs the ball with 27 to go and 17 on the shot clock.  Even if Lebron (or anyone) sinks a shot then, Indiana gets their fair opportunity to win or go to OT.  They didn't get that opportunity with the blown goaltending call.

    I was wondering when someone was gonna bring up that miss call. 

    Who knows what would've happen if the Cavs retained the ball, like they should've, but it should've been their ball before the Oladipo block by LeBron James. And i didn't care who won the game.
