Father time is such a B....watching Westbrook blow a breakaway dunk the other day and then just go for the layup on that breakaway is a little hard to see...

The Nuggets have no answer for Honest Abe, especially when he puts the ball on the floor

He's still flying around the court creating havoc even at 36. Dude's conditioning is crazy.

Other than drawing a soft whistle it’s not like he’s actually doing much though.
Like why you can’t hand check Chet but you can hand check everyone else? Makes no sense.

RefKC decided to call it fair and it suddenly became a close game. Let's see how long before RefKC decide to take over the game again.

Watson was the 30th pick that year. I'd say Booth got a bargain. He's improved every year.

Joker has got to step the fk up. We expect consistency from the best in the world.
