Noteworthy: 11/8/2013


Almost triple doubles for the Kevins:

Durant scored 37 points on 15 shots which sounds like he must have made a whole lot of his points on free throws.  He did, making 17 out of 19.  Plus, Durant had 8 boards, 7 assists, 3 steals and a block.

Love continuing his hot streak with 32 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and a block.

Breakout:
Anthony Davis had his career high with 32 points along with 12 rebounds, 6 blocks and a steal.  No sign of a sophomore slump for the brow.


Off the Bench: Markeef Morris had his second good game in a row as a sub for the Suns scoring 23 and grabbing 10 boards. Among his many highlights from this game was perhaps the first NBA pick n roll involving twins.  



Not a historian, but i'd venture to say that the Morris brothers are the first twinsies to do this in the League.


Whoa.  Nice to meet you, Joe freeland.  


The Trailblazers, since the days of Joel Pryzbilla and Theo Ratliff and to a certain extent although in far fewer games, Greg Oden, always seem to have these guys who have highlight reel blocks at the rim.  I'll keep looking out for insane 2 handed block attempts from Freeland.  

Maybe boxout, Nets.


Whoops too late, Nene got the tip in.  Then, Wizards outplay the Nets in overtime.  Someone definitely should have boxed out #42.

A night of chasedown blocks.  Who did it best?



Not bad, Thad.

Other: A portland trailblazer fan video about them replacing the chalupa give-away at Blazer games...Some JJ Barea highlights with Super Mario music as accompanyment(thanks Gabe for noticing this on Grantland)...Patty Mills and Boris Diaw singing 'killing me softly...Patrick Ewing coached his first game as an NBA head coach as a temporary replacement for Charlotte head coach Steve Clifford.
