NBA Game Action: 4/2/2017

Oladipo has 19, 3, and 6 yet Russ has absolutely no help? I'd rather have Oladipo than Gordon, especially with the way Gordon's been playing since January.

 

Down 11, three minutes to go, will Russ go for another 50pt triple double?

 

Kind of worried about OKC in the playoffs. We don't know how good this team can be when they aren't stat chasing.

 

Westbrook can shoot the 3 all of the sudden these last couple of games

 

I agree, the Hornets are doing a better job holding their lead, they've something to fight for...Dallas and Orlando are just two pathetic teams looking to get a good pick with the hope that it will help them being relevant...which is not going to happen, they'll still be free as **** for at least two/three years.

 

I'm not sure how much they'll be able to step up after being spectators all season

 

Lakers playing the Jizzlies pretty close. OKC could lose and still maintain a lead for the sixth seed

 

Gordon has been horrible, literally, in the last two months...and even when he scores some points, he just plays very bad lately, on both ends, terrible turnovers, no clue on what happens on defense...not sure what happened, maybe having Lou didn't help his confidence but yeah...

 

This is a critical home loss for OKC.

Memphis is going to get 6th seed. All they have to do is beat OKC at their home. Looks like they will have the tie-breaker (conf record).

Of course, that assumes they beat LA right now.

 

If Harden can be considered a ball hog averaging 7 asts last year, can Westbrook be considered a ball hog averaging 10 asts this year?

I can't imagine any basketball purist watching Westbrook play and thinking what he is doing what is good for his team. After his 10 asist he went into full chuck mode.

 

Yeah, he hasn't been that good for months. Idk about y'all, but it's gotten to the point where I'm expecting him to miss when he shoots it from deep.

 

Thank you hornets

 

How do you feel about that? Are the Rockets good enough to beat the Grizz in the first round? Should I be rooting for OKC!?

OKC as a 7th seed is not as sexy as OKC in the 4-6 seed for MVP consideration.. I know you hate the MVP talk, hp.

 

Kudos to you, Hornets. Hat tip for getting the job done that those bums in Dallas and Orlando couldn't do.

 

Westbrook's usage rate is insane; it's like 40 percent or so which is the highest in NBA history

 

The Rockets should be favored over either team.

 

I think that this is becoming pretty laughable tbh, i'm not sure how a good analyst can really vote him as the mvp considering the team W, the way he's getting the triple doubles (which includes playing literally no defense to be always in position to get a board), imo, that is really disrespecting the game. There's always been a bit of stat padding in the nba, but what is happening in OKC with Westbrook...never saw it at this level.

 

OKC has 43 wins. They have 6 games left and can't reach 50 wins.

 

Conley with a clutch 3 to tie the game.

 

Rockets would beat the Grizzlies in 5 if Harden is playing at his usual high level
