    Serves them right for pulling down Harrell on the last play!

    If their game plan was to take away the 3 ball it wasn't too effective. We took nearly 40 attempts and missed quite a few open looks. Anderson was 0-5 from 3 and 0-6 on the game.

    But, I didn't mean to strictly reference this game. When he goes cold, and it's happened a few times, it just really stands out. He simply doesn't produce much in other areas of the game to make it less glaring.

    5th seed in the LEASTern conference means nothing, if the Rox were in the East last year they'd be second or third seed instead of 8th. There's nobody significant on that team c'mon, if you take out Horford who was a free agent lottery teams like Dallas and Sacramento look like GSW and Spurs compared to those teams.

    Yet, the Celtics beat Dallas and Sacramento with Horford sitting out the Dallas game. Celtics are a good team, man. They're not world beaters but they're 10th or 11th best team in the NBA right now. They're better than Portland but not quite as good as Utah.

    A good win for the Rockets.

    Look at the Hawks last year and the same team this year. I don't think he's a star cause he's not a player able to put his team on his shoulders, but definitely an all star caliber player, he does everything (well) on both sides of the court, plays two positions, smart player, good teammate...there's not a single negative in the package.

    He definitely was a star, now borderline maybe, still allstar worthy maybe but not perennial and not in the Wild West.

    I like my boy Capela better. I feel like Clint Capela will be a top 8 center in the league in a few years.

    We have Eric Gordon and Trevor Ariza to fit in those roles. Trevor Ariza is so underrated.

    Yes, his only production when they play him tight is you can't cheat off him. The offense becomes 4 on 4. Instead, they cheat off guys like Ariza and Beverley.
