An advice column for people who live with people who live for sports
What happened on Thursday, March 5, 2015?
Westbrook can do it all, but he can’t do it ALL: Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder has been on a roll lately. Last night, he continued that roll by scoring 43 points against the Chicago Bulls but his team still lost 108-105. Westbrook is playing Super Man while his co-star, Kevin Durant, heals from minor foot surgery. It’s fun to see how much Westbrook can do by himself but I’m sure the team would love to get Durant back. Line: Westbrook is Super Man but I guess the Bulls had some kryptonite.
Nothing to see here, just two good teams: It’s time to stop being surprised that the New York Islanders and Nashville Predators are good at hockey. They’re good! They just haven’t been over the past few decades, so it still feels funny to hockey fans, but no more! The Islanders beat the Predators last night in a tight, 4-3 game in Nashville. Line: I know it’s hard to believe, but believe it. They’re good!
Trail Blazers win but lose: The Portland Trailblazers handled their game against the Dallas Mavericks like it was nothing, winning 94-75 but the victory had an enormous cost. One of their best players, Wesley Matthews tore his Achilles tendon. That’s a big blow for a team that was expecting to make a deep run into the playoffs. Line: Ugh. Injuries are the worst part of sports.
