I mean, it was a fucking fall away three pointer from the left side of the floor with Igoudala conducting open heart surgery.   How do you stop that, aside from twisting the laws of physics?
I sat there watching him, wondering why he wasn't driving to the hoop to tying it up. I shall never doubt LeBron again. Dude is a basketball god.

Chris Kaman pulls a McHale-like reverse-up-and-under for the basket and the foul to pull the Lakers within one point of the Thunder.

Then he misses the free throw. These are the Lakers 2014: why would Kevin Love sign with the Lakers?

The 4th quarter was kind of dull but still a nice win over the Pacers for the Wolves tonight.

Spurs are winning in Portland in the 4th without Duncan, Parker, and Leonard. What Pop does with mediocre players is absolutely astounding.
The similarities between the Patriots and Spurs over the last ~14 years are kind of amazing that way.

Jordan Crawford pulls a high-arc runner out of his ass. Rockets-Warriors is a very entertaining matchup.
 
And then Crawford heaves a 20-foot turnaround with the defender draped all over him. He certainly is what we thought he was.

Curry ties it up with a left-handed underhand teardrop high off the glass. Harden doesn't knock down the 3, but he's the one who scored 35 points in regulation time. The Curry-Harden contest is awesome.

Huge win.  The Warriors are in danger of being one of the teams not to make the playoffs and given their roster, it would be a shame.

Durant is putting on a clinic is this first half against LAC. 19pts and 8 assists with 3:30 to go in the second quarter.

There are 25 games left in the NBA season. I have a substantial wager on the 76ers over 17.5 wins this year, so I need 3 more wins. Somehow this doesn't feel anywhere near safe.

The Cavs dropped 42 in the 4th quarter tonight to take down OKC for just their 6th home loss of the season. Cavs have actually won 7 out of 10. With a cakewalk April schedule they could sneak into an 8 seed if they stay within spitting distance through March.

Some doozies on TNT tonight. Miami stomped the Knicks and the Nuggets just put together the worst quarter of NBA basketball I've maybe ever seen. Eight points and eight turnovers. Mozgov was 0-5 and missed at least two dunks.
 
I'm like 80% sure these guys are high. They actually don't know where the basket is. They're getting close and then throwing the ball off the side of the backboard and shit.

The Warriors are currently wiping the floor with the Knicks and its the Dubs much maligned second unit driving the separation.  I knew the Knicks were bad but holy hell are they woeful.  I will be shocked if Melo stays there...
