Watching the Bulls play hard on D every possesion, and executing on offense without their stars... I wish Thibs was the coach of the Rockets.
Wow. Small sample size, but no denying the major impact there. That's a huge difference. I remember after a game against the Wizards, I asked Kyle Lowry about what it was like guarding John Wall. He said he was the fastest in the league... you had your hands full with him. I think he mentioned DRose as well, if I remember right.
And for those complaining about Hardens shooting, at least he tries to get to the line and get FT's. Kobe is on 16 points on 7-22 shooting.
So... Is Luol Deng available? http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/363394?eref=twitter_feed The Bulls are cheap and Jimmy Butler is doing a fine job as a starter.
I was way off-base in thinking Dwight would come out with a vengeance tonight after being wrongly tossed against the Raptors. If Deng played, it would have been over a lot sooner. Kobe with another pathetic shooting night playing 40+ minutes. Nash played 37. Great times. On to Memphis.
Jesus christ how do these Blazers hit so many game-tying/winning 3s?? It's ridiculous. Matthews and Batum are killers.
Portland's another team, like the Lakers, that has talent at the top 5 and no bench. They are definitely in a tailspin. 4 of those 6 losses at home. Not that I'm exactly proud of the Rockets' 7-game losing streak, but 6 of those 7 were on the road.
