LeBron can't possibly be a human. I mean, he just sprained his ankle a few possessions ago, and he still managed to pull that block off. There might not any conclusive evidence, but I am pretty sure he is a cyborg.
It's not often Stephen Curry is on the other side of one's ankle woes, in fact the Warriors point guard has dealt his fair share of ankle injuries in the past, but this time, the tables have turned, now he is the one inflicting damage to to those who did not invest in ankle insurance as advised by Kobe. Poor George Hill didn't even know what was coming.
For a 7 foot 2 guy, Roy Hibbert is not all that bad on his feet, but his size will eventually doom him due to surface area, which he obviously has a lot of. The teams are a little bit unfair, since there is only 3 Pacers participating in this event, which meant that one team would have 2 NBA players. Paul George and George Hill was paired together, making their team already a million times more athletic than Hibbert's. Despite the disadvantages, they were tied up in a best of 3 series, where George Hill will eventually kill everyone. Coming off a back to back to back, it's nice the Pacers would give up rest on their first day off to play dodge ball with the fans. Coaches may not like it, but fans appreciate any interaction with their favorite players.
Not a great NBA schedule yesterday, 6 games, none were too pretty. The Beard stood above all, James Harden had 24 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and a block in the win over the Toronto Raptors.
Boards: Kevin Love only get buckets and boards. 23 points and 24 rebounds in the victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Shout out: To Anderson Varejao, 20 points and 18 rebounds in the loss to the Phoenix Suns. This game marked his sixth 15+ rebound streak.
Time Machine User: Kobe got the flu, and if you know anything, it is that the Mamba plays better impaired in some kind of way. He carried the entire Lakers offense with his 40 points (12 of 28 shooting), 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and a ugly triple double notching 10 turnovers in the loss to the Indiana Pacers.
Everything Sacre: He's awesome at parties.
NBA Replacement Refs: A super weird double foul, and the ultimate cop out.
Real Refs don't mess around: Joey Crawford is the most entertaining official in the NBA, I mean who else high steps for a blocking foul. Cool Deion Sanders impression, Gramps.
Whoops: Omer Asik forgot his compass, and couldn't figure out which basket is at which cardinal direction.
Surprise: Nick Young doesn't always pass, but when he does, it is always Swaggy P approved.
Highlight of the Night: Terrence Ross likes to prove that the Toronto Raptors are never short of jumpers. From Vince Cater to Tracy McGrady to Jamario Moon (He is back to being a Globetrotter right?) to DeMar DeRozan, Canada is pretty great at picking athletic swing mans that never win.
Game Winner: I think George Hill is leading the league in game winners made in this season.
