    Not hard to do. I think mine is higher. ANyways, I agree - I'm not sure what it is about the eye test with some of these players - making us think things like Casspi is selfish or Canaan is a good assist guy etc.

    The Rockets scored 145 and gave up 130, but that number doesn't matter much if there are far more possessions in the game than normal. Lots of quick shots by both teams will result in a very high score, obviously, and the Rockets were only 9 point favorites and covered the spread easily while resting starters in the 4Q. Typical clueless sports journalist.

    It was nothing major, just a cramp
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Ok, allow me to apologize for a pair of mistakes. 1) TJones had a cramp, not a calf strain. 2) the 49 scored in 3rd, was 1 shy of fran rec.</p>&mdash; Craig Ackerman (@ca_rockets) <a href="https://twitter.com/ca_rockets/statuses/453764959701180416">April 9, 2014</a></blockquote>

    nash is still the man! 5 assists in 13 minutes. Wish he wasn't so damn old and could stay in the league longer.

    Harden having great assist games lately, time to let him play PG and have Garcia play SG.

    That has been my wish for some time already. I hope McHale checks that out in the 5 games left.

    I think they'd have a problem on defense. Neither of them can guard the other team's PG.

    He's amazing. Should teach PG to other NBA players, like Hakeem does for the front court.

    Even against a game agaisnt scrubs where we score the record points for the season, Lin comes out looking inadequate.

    Overall, just a walk in the park. Harden was toying with them all night.
