NBA Game Action: 1/21/2018

Go Pacers and Celtics

 

Magic have done great @ BOS, but they're fading late.

Will they hold on?

 

Ref help? I hate the Celts

Thank you, Orlando. The Rockets now have the 2nd best record in the league again.

 

TAKE THAT FOR DATA

 

Boston's success is entirely dependent on the refs and late game small sample sizes, they aren't even +4 in point differential, Toronto would beat them in a series, I really like what Casey has done to improve the offense and Demar Derozan learning how to shoot 3s.

 

I think Dinwiddie has 3 gamewinning shots this season off the top of my head

 

The Spurs are getting destroyed at home by Indiana. Without Kawhi they have no chance against the elite teams of the league.

 

If the T-Wolves don't stumble, Spurs will have a tough time hanging on to the #3 seed. Without Kawhi, they are a .500 team. The longer he is out, the longer it will take him to get in game shape and knock the rust off. In order to reduce the chance of setbacks, I'm thinking the Spurs may keep him out until after the ASB. It's possible he may never be right this season.

When it comes to seeding, the only team that matters is the Warriors.

 

Damn it’s weird seeing Spurs sitting in the 4th seed after that loss....

NBA has been top heavy for awhile but with the Cavs and Celtics looking pedestrian and the Kawhi injury it’s basically Houston and GS; rest of the league looks several tiers below.

 

Im enjoying seeing spurs lose

 

I don't count Kawhi out
POP said he will be back this season
I am hoping he is 100%

The SPurs are treading water til then IMO

spurs are the new okc
