NBA Digest (24th January 2014)

Being suspended for 20 games because of using illegal drugs, his age getting older, his presence being uncertain in NBA. Being counted all of this our national basketball player Hidayet Türkoğlu signed with Clippers for the rest of the season. Because he has disgraced our country having used illegal drugs I am not sure if I am going to be happy or not, about his returning back to NBA. I gave up following him on twitter. Well let me begin to follow him again. I gave up following also Enes Kanteri on twitter for a while. I dropped him completely because he didn't participate Turkish National Basketbal Team for the last European Basketball Championship without giving any reason. What good are you if you don't want to appear in our National Team? Shame on you! (16.01.2014)

We faced very interesting statistics during the game between Thunder and Rockets. Rockets made 73 points in the first half of the game which became Rocket's franchise record. (And against a tough team like Thunder.) But they could make only and only 19 points in the second half of the game which is their lowest franchise record. Two halves and two completely different team. Unbelievable!!! Thunder beat Rockets 104-92. (16.01.2014)

Kevin Durant scored 54 in the game against Warriors and broke his career record. Thunder didn't beat Warriors 127-121. But Durant did it alone. Stephen Curry's 37 points and Klay Thompson's 27 points kept in the background. Stpehen Curry and Klay Thompson are shooting so smooth. Watching the ball in their shoots gives one a pleasure. But their performance couldn't be enough against Kevin Durant. Thunder won the game. 127-121 (17.01.2014)

Rajon Rondo appeared on the pitch for the first time last night since January 2013 against Lakers after recovered from his injury (anterior cruciate ligament) The guy who told the highlights mentioned that Rondo was away from the pitch for 21,233,318 seconds. (Whoa!!! They are crazy! Well! Suits for me!) The game was very contentious. Old fans of NBA know the meaning of Celtics and Lakers games very well. It happens only twice per regular season. Lakers won the game 107-104. (17.01.2014)

I don't like neither Pacers nor Paul Georgetan but anybdoy vails who sees this slam. A strong candidate of slam of the year. This is the best slam so far until we will see a better one: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=10316335  (18.01.2014)

Korver Kounter: 109. Atlanta Hawks: 121 - Miami Heat:114 (20.01.2014)

Kevin Durant is getting crazy! He scored 46 points and played with 6/7 3-points against Blazers. (Thunder beat Blazers 105-97.) The game was head to head until the last minutes. But then Durant took to the stage and won the game himself with the unbelievable 3-point shots he made. Durant is playing damn good nowadays. LaMarcus Aldridge's performance with 29 points and 16 assists kept in the background. (21.01.2014)
