MIAMI -- Most NBA players have never done it even once. Tracy Mcgrady Jersey . Michael Jordan did it six times. Kobe Bryant, three times. Jason Kidd, twice.Heres the it in question: Have a game of 31 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.Perhaps that puts what Russell Westbrook is doing into some perspective. Through 21 games this season, such an outing represents an AVERAGE night for the Thunder guard -- whos putting up 31 points, 10.8 rebounds and 11.3 assists so far, with five triple-doubles in his last five games.The last player to have such a triple-double run? Jordan, seven straight in 1989.The only other players in NBA history with five straight? Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson.Its amazing, man, Oklahoma Citys Andre Roberson said after Westbrooks 28-point, 17-rebound, 12-assist outing in Sundays win over New Orleans. Hes a great guy and a great player. He makes the game easier for everybody else. Hes just an animal out there, so were going to need him to do that every night.Westbrooks next game is Monday in Atlanta, against a Hawks team that has allowed just one opponent to record a triple-double on their home floor in Mike Budenholzers three-plus seasons as coach. (Rajon Rondo had 12 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists at Atlanta on Nov. 18, 2015.)Westbrook had 18 triple-doubles last season. Hes on pace to eclipse that by the All-Star break this season.---PADDED UPHeat coach Erik Spoelstra was without reserve guard Tyler Johnson for a couple days last week, while Johnson recovered from oral surgery after getting a tooth knocked out.It was enough to get Johnson to finally give in and wear a mouth guard.Spoelstras certainly not complaining, though he half-seriously said NBA players are going to look like football players soon given all the pads some are wearing underneath their jerseys and shorts.Thigh pads, hamstring pads, the way the game is played now with all the pick-and-rolls, you get hit all the time, Spoelstra said. Mouth guards ... yes, were going to try to require everything that we possibly can.Spoelstra tries to stay aware of who on his team is wearing what, and often describes full-contact Heat practices as pads up, mouth guards in sessions.Apparently, not every coach monitors things so closely. Celtics coach Brad Stevens said he had no idea about the protective gear his players use.I have never asked that question, Stevens said. Maybe I should know. Sorry. Im an idiot.---THE WEEK AHEADA look at some of the games to watch this week:San Antonio at Milwaukee, Monday: The Spurs try to move to 12-0 on the road. The record for best road start is 14-0, set by Golden State last season.Cleveland at New York, Wednesday: LeBron James went 3-4 in his first seven trips to Madison Square Garden. Hes gone 13-4 at the storied arena since.Golden State at L.A. Clippers, Wednesday: The first Warriors-Clippers meeting of the season, but the third time Golden State has been to Staples Center.Minnesota at Toronto, Thursday: Minnesotas Andrew Wiggins gets a third chance to play in the city where he was born. He had 26 in Toronto last season.Miami at Chicago, Saturday: The second time Dwyane Wade faces off against the Heat, after he and the Bulls won the first go-round in Miami last month.---STAT LINE OF THE WEEKLou Williams, L.A. Lakers: He came off the bench to score 40 points on Saturday in a loss at Memphis. It was just the third time in the last 30 years that a Laker reserve went for 40 or more. Damian Jones Jersey . It was the second consecutive win for the Pacers (2-5), who lost their first five preseason games. Jeff Teague led the Hawks (1-5) with 17 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 12 points and seven rebounds. Mike Scott scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half. Jabari Parker Hawks Jersey . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. https://www.thehawkslockerroom.com/Charl...Edition-Jersey/ . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Flyers had won seven of eight before dropping their last two outings on consecutive days over the weekend. Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City.All-Australian half-forward Toby Greene has been a smash hit in his latest role, but it needed some stern words from GWS Giants coach Leon Cameron to get him on track after a rocky start to the AFL season.Previously a prolific ball-winning midfielder, Greene played as a forward for part of last year but moved into the role on a fulltime basis this season.He has shone as both a scorer and provider, but has continued to rack up healthy possession numbers.Greene has more than doubled his previous best season goal haul booting 39 while totting up 21 touches a game, the highest average of any of the top 20 goalkickers.He has underlined his selflessness by being the joint third highest player for goal assists this season and has executed more tackles than in any other year of his career.Greene said it had definitely been his most consistent year, though he didnt make a good start in the opening round loss to Melbourne, when he touched the ball just 12 times.Leon spoke to me at the start of the year, the first game of the year was one of my worst games, Greene told AAP.He just said youre a fifth-year player now, youve got to be bringing the same footy week in week out.Its something Ive tried to work on and I think Ive been able to do that, but I want to be able to do it in finals. Dominique Wilkins Hawks Jersey. .Greene credited the coaching staff and fellow Giants small forwards Steve Johnson and Devon Smith for helping him adjust to his position.Amon Buchanan is our forwards coach and I guess I sort of play a similar role to him when he was playing, so hes been really good for that, Greene said.Obviously having having guys like Stevie and Dev, now that Dev has played eight games back (from injury), were starting to work really well together and hopefully we can bring that into finals.Greene is part of a potent and multi-faceted Giants forward line.They are the second highest scoring side in the competition and he is one of four Giants to have kicked over 30 goals, alongside Jeremy Cameron (49), Johnson (43) and Jon Patton (34).I guess it makes it harder for teams coming up against us if everyone (up forward) can provide different strengths, Greene said.Even the three key forwards play different to each other, so I think its building that synergy with each other.
