Shaq looked pissed lol.

Also of note is C-Webb saying he was "in Washington purgatory" at the 5:34 mark, when discussing what could have been with his career had certain things happened or not happened.

Who is Alan Anderson? Never heard of him but he went 6-8 from 3.

Anderson is one of my favorite kind of NBA players. He is why I don't give up hope for guys like Mo Almond. Alan Anderson has been around a long time but only late in his career is he having great success. I thought he would have been good for the Wizards to draft way back.

I liked him at Michigan State. He is a good defender and a big guard with handles, much like Temple. Anderson is a better scorer than Temple. Like Temple he's played in the D-League. Anderson also played a lot of years in Europe. His success now is a tribute to perseverance. He's already 30 but like James Singleton a lot of people don't know how good he is, yet.

Alan Anderson has been a pretty good player for a good while, IMO.
Bye bye Beal.

Anderson deserves a lot of credit for his hard work and what he's done with his career, but he's still shooting below 38% from the field for the season. He sort of compensates for that fact by taking a lot of 3s but he was shooting below 33% on 3s before the Knicks game and that one game swung him up to 34.8% (decent but hardly amazing). Anderson is the epitome of a borderline NBA player that any team could pick up for a minimum contract at any particular point in any season. He's just been handed an inordinately large role in the offense because the Raptors are absolutely desperate for anybody who can shoot and coaches usually tend to favour veterans a little.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

James Harden against his OKC pals in the 1st quarter 4 for 4 - all 3's, 14 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds.

Sure, it'd be nice to move on - but... too soon.

My fantasy team raises you Harden with 21 points at the half with 15 of those points coming from 3 pointers.

Why would the Wizards ever have bothered with that bum?

Ironic, NO got Vasquez to be a back-up and he has emerged as a decent starter while Rivers clearly should have stayed in-school.

Hard to believe Harden is only 23 years old, the kid is simply unreal.

Makes me livid watching how composed he is compared to Wall. Really slows the game down.

Who would've thought after "The Decision" that the Cavs would be in a better situation than us!

Is anybody watching this Rockets Thunder game?? Harden serving Durant with a ridiculous facial to tie the game at 111:111 after trailing more than 10 points with 4:30 to go.

That's 10 points in the past minute and a half for the bearded one. Shades of Gilbert, Must be fun being a Rockets fan right now.

Harden 45/9/6 14-19 from the field. One of the best boxscores I've ever seen.
