Yeah, and i mean, we blow them up two times last season, we threw away the first game this season...i'm confident for this one, even though i know i shouldn't lol.
Luc still questionable though. All the key players had to play 40+ minutes against the Cavs with him out.
Damn the Knicks are 7-5 lol...not sure that's what they should do... Seems like the Nuggets are also starting to play better (and i think they made a good decision to stay away from Bledsoe), i like them more than the Clippers, i don't think there's a big difference in terms of talent overall, but Denver as just way more smart players, the Clippers are loaded with dumb players. Lonzo with the triple double and good shooting, Lakers still losing by 10 to start the 4th though.
as always home team commentators know nothing outside of their own team, no one does it better than Rockets. NBA has some very biased commentators at times
And they're 5-6...just imagine what they will say if they were 10-3...and i like Giannis a lot, but yeah...
Media thirsty for it. Harden having another amazing season and no one cares. The stats once again are putting him in rarefied air, and you can only see it on twitter with stat tweets.
It's like their whole commentary of the Rockets is on hold until Paul comes back. Then they will pounce. That whole McHale / Harden leader thing was planned narrative-building that got put on hold. The way they continued allowing McHale to refine that narrative, like having Isiah help McHale, shows how they were working out the kinks in the argument. Now, when Paul comes back, everytime we lose it is because Harden can't mesh with Paul, and everytime we win it's Paul being the leader the Rockets always needed. Despite us currently leading the West. It's so predicable that as @Vivi said, "I ain't even mad." I almost have a morbid curiosity at this point, to see both (1) how well cfnet predicts the Media launching their transparent, planned narratives, and (2) how many CFNet members fall for it every time we lose two games in a row.
