Your favorite inconsistent NBA post is back from last year! I never really had a full grasp on how to do this blog, but I think I have figured it out. There will be similar elements from Bucks Buzz, but in reality, it will be its own post on Wednesday (Or Thursday). I do not really have a time for when it will be up but there will be all sorts of random shit I happen to come across on the Internet plus some thoughts about the week that was.
Players of the WeekJoakim Noah - It was a weird week for 'good performances.' I mean George Hill had one of the best games out of the week. I will give to Noah whom put together two nice efforts against Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks. He nearly had two triple-doubles this week as he notched eleven assists twice, both were season-high for Noah, and one, notched him a triple-double against Atlanta. I do not think people realize how good of a rebounder he has been this season. In 22 of the last 24 games, Noah pulled down at least 10 rebounds with the two games missing were one, Noah got ejected and the other, he did not play. Since December, there are only six games where Noah had less than 10 rebounds. People like to diss him and talk about how he is annoying, Noah having a great year.
Blake Griffin - Big time week for Blake heading into All-Star Game. Remember when Andrew wrote a piece about changing his opinion on Blake? I saw some national reporters writing things similar. I have a weird sneaky feeling Griffin might be the story from All-Star Sunday. I could definitely see him taking home the All-Star Game MVP with a big performance turning the heads of people whom think he is just a 'dunker' and 'flashy player.' Griffin is doing it in all facets of the game. He had a big week including a 43 point, 15 rebound effort against Miami last Wednesday. Blake is averaging 23.9 which is nearly two points higher than his career number, and some of that, might have to do with him shooting 70 percent from the line versus his career 63 percent. He is having a great season.
This week in Kevin Durant
Ho hum. Durant nearly gets a triple-double against New York with 41 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. He follows it up with a 36 points and 10 rebounds against Portland last night. Durant is continuing to be the king of the castle. Here are more Durant facts for you to gnaw on. That's just silly and why he is the MVP of the league at the All-Star Break.

Not having Pierre The Pelican Jokes - Well we still might have them, but Pierre is going under reconstruction in the coming days because he supposedly 'hurt his beak' during a pick-up basketball game. Well, first it is silly to have birds play basketball. Second, New Orleans did this to avoid getting slaughtered on social media this weekend with Pierre being involved with all the All-Star festivities. I just want to make easy, lay-up jokes. Hopefully, he will still look like a creepy bird.
Team of the Week
Houston Rockets - Here come the Rockets! A team people expected to be pretty good this season is suddenly hot before heading to the All-Star Break. They have won their last six games. Further, Houston has won 12 of their last 15 games. They are six back from the top spot in the Western Conference, and only two games back from the second seed. Dwight Howard is playing his ass off whether you like him or not, and I believe Jeremy Lin can make a case for Sixth Man of the Year.
Team of the Weak
Philadelphia 76ers - I think they are the only team to make Team of the Weak twice, but I have to give it to the Sixers. They officially arrived to the Tanksville, USA by getting absolutely beaten down by Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors in two of the most embarrassing losses in regular season NBA history. They only have 15 wins on the year currently six games ahead of Milwaukee, but it really seems like they have just given up. That's okay to mail it in, but at least look competitive for three quarters if you can.
Sportandfashion-news Medical Injury Report
Andrew Bogut - Not much, but he will be out for the Miami game on Wednesday plus Bogut told reporters he needs a cortisone shot in his shoulder. That does not sound good. Bogut has all sorts of shoulder problems, and if this trend continues, Golden State could have some issues inside. I would be curious if they make a trade for a big man just in case Bogut's shoulder is not stable.
