Is there anyway to find out if Bill Walton has turned down offers to come back to broadcasting full time?

The only thing I can find is that his back and joints prevent him from calling games outside of Cali/Arz area.

He could become the Warriors, or even better, Kings fulltime analyst.

harden looks unreal good. If he's legitimately this good, that changes my west prediction.

The way Harden handles the ball on his crossover is so different. And really nice.

He doesn't swing his arm, or put his hand on the side of the ball. It's always on top of the ball, and it's very effective because he can truly dribble either way with it, and still have complete control.

His footwork is also really good when he's using the crossover. It's not as good as Wade's, but for his unique style, it's perfect.

OKC becomes the 6th team this season to win the 3rd game in a b2b2b set. Teams are 6-0 this season in that 3rd leg.

If anyone wants to watch the ugliest game of the year, tune into CLE/POR. Kurt Thomas just tried to run the break and I think it was after a made FT. Shooting is horrific, lots of blocked shots under the rim, horrible ball handling etc.

I'm pretty sure speights legit didn't pass one time that half. However many shots he has = his touches.

agreed. la guards/forwards have the best footwork and the silkiest games. and harden is hardcore la. love his game. i actually like his off the dribble game more than wade's - he has more moves. more subtle off the dribble head fakes, etc. wade is the better and more powerful athlete so when wade decides to crossover and get to the rim off that one crossover dribble, he can do it more effectively than harden for sure.

Lakers should have won by 25 tonight. I think they had 26 or 27 TOs, and a better team would have smashed them.

The defense was really solid, though.

Nash got 17 assists in 27 minutes and Gortat got 18 points on 9-10 shooting. PHX had 7 guys in double figures; this team can actually be strong enough to make it to the West Semis, IMO. Sorta like 2 years ago when everyone counted them out but they quietly made it to the Conf Finals and got robbed.

Morris can ball. Redd is waiting in the wings-- even if he gives them nothing they still look like a playoff team.
