Down by 2 points in overtime with under 3 seconds to go Blake Griffin catches the ball off the inbounds and decides to shoot a 3 pointer. The shot hits the rim and bounces up but Griffin uses the wizard skills he gained while at Hogwarts that one year to get the ball to fall. I feel so bad for the Phoenix Suns for what happened but the league needs to start clamping down on wizardry maybe Griffin should be fined somehow for game tampering idk.
Coming HOT off his 40 point night on Tuesday Stephen Curry continues his shooting onslaught against the Orlando Magic by scoring 28 points and dishing out 8 assists in just under 24 minutes of playing time. Oh and he shot 6-8 from 3 point land. No biggie. I used to play a bunch of nba2k and a common complaint about the game is how the best 3 point shooters like Curry are "broken". While this may be true for other players in the game it isn't for #30 on the Warriors. Curry is by far the best 3 point shooter playing right now (Kevin Durant is still injured and Ray Allen still isn't signed to a team) and even more remarkably he's doing so by shooting off the dribble. If you go under a screen and Curry gets more than an inch of separation he will splash a triple, it's science.
Past 2 games for Steph Curry 68 points, 21-of-32 FG, 14-of-19 3FG, 15 assists, 11 boards in 61 minutes. Safe to say he likes playing in FL.

Tony Allen put on a show Sunday night in a 107-91 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Allen uses the superb pick by Marc Gasol to get Matt Barnes off him and gets Glen Davis with the behind the back fake and lays it up and in. Davis isn't exactly the most agile or athletic big in the NBA so this move might not have worked against a slot blocker like Deandre Jordan but an exquisite move to get the Grizzlies the 2 points nonetheless.
Quite impressive but it only forced me to go back and watch this. Beautiful basketball all around.
The Denver Nuggets have struggled to start the season but Nate the Great Robinson continues his amazing style of play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. After some fancy dribbling to get open in the middle he fakes the pass to the man in the corner and dishes it off to Javale McGee who finishes the layup plus the foul. I wonder how much longer until the next Robinson game winner.
In another Mavericks blowout game the benches were unloaded in the 4th quarter and Jae Crowder got a chance to play against a very middling Lakers bench. So he let some street ball loose particularly on the defensive end. He wanted people to know he had this block. And I wanted people to know this so the video below was made. Baller time at the AAC.
