Cody I swear is injury prone like crazy.

I'm just glad he got paid.

Yeah me too I also got a notification that he will play tonight and I'm told that it was a quad injury.

Mavs win again with Yogi in the starting line-up although his minutes played were down quite a bit.  

Gordon out with lower back soreness.

Good night for Vic as they knock off King James and the Cavs.

Cody back in the line-up after missing several games with a quad contusion.

Do you keep the games and stats for those guys on an excel spreadsheet?

Yup, but only game by game; not cumulative.

And now down 10 at the half to the Bucks. This is why I just can't get excited about this team.

With Deron Williams returning to the starting lineup for the Mavs, Yogi came off the bench but played a whopping 32 min. in a reserve role and had a strong performance as a PG dishing out 7 assists.

Gordon missed another game with lower back issues.

Zeller's quad contusion caused him to miss another game.

In the long awaited Durant vs. Westbrook game, Westbrook won in scoring with 47 pts. to Durant's 34 pts. but the Thunder were beaten 130-114.   Westbrook did have yet another triple-double but not one that he'll be very proud of:  47 pts.; 11 reb; 11 TO's.  Vic with a solid performance in the loss.

PROGRAMMING NOTE:  

Mrs. OF and I are taking a badly needed vacation and I won't be providing any daily updates through the end of the month.  Due to the NBA All-Star game break there are 7 days during this time with no NBA games scheduled.  Good planning on my part don't you think?  I plan to resume the daily posts on March 2.

Only 1 game today involving an IU guy today.

The best thing that ever happened to Vic was getting traded out of Orlando. What a dumb organization. They just consciously did Ibaka for Terrence Ross and Toronto's worst of 2 first rounders after trading for Ibaka in the first place.

I agree they are stupid, but not with this trade, it's a losing season and they dont think they can keep Ibaka after this year. A 26 yr old Ross and any first rounder is better then nothing.

Yeah this trade wasn't horrible, but giving two starters to OKC in the first place was stupid, then they end up with an average tweener and a late 1st rounder. Just glad Vic got out of there.

I followed them religiously when theu drafted Victor. They made so many mistakes it annoyed the heck outta me. The Gordon pick, trading Saric for Payton, bringing in Fournier at a position they didn't need though he has became a good player, drafting Mario with Vic and Fournier, numerous bad FA signings and now they hit rock bottom....trading Ibaka for Ross and a late 1st. I know he was probably leaving after this year but they knew that even at the time of their trade originally and still gave up Ersan, Sabonis and Oladipo. They could have a great team right now but Hennigan just isn't good at his job. Thank god Victor is outta there and if we can't get Billy D at least Victor has him ;)

Oh the Vic trade was awful. Right up there with Tobias Harris trade. In those two trades not a single player they traded for is still there. They essentially traded two good players showing promise that are both under the age of 24 for nothing.

[KingPG21 6,606]

Congrats to the Magic on continuing to be one of the worst run organizations. 

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

Orlando traded Maurice Harkless for a 2020 2nd rounder too. A lot of bad moves, but I think getting Ross/ a Late 1st for Ibaka who they we're going to re-sign isn't bad. Terrence Ross just turned 26 and is having the best year of his career.
