NBA Game Action: 12/29/2013

Watch out for GS. they are finally hitting their stride

 

Rockets will probably struggle in this one. Another good rested team on the road on the 2nd night of a back to back..feels like they have a lot of these.
I expect Grapenutz to be spouting all game long.

 

Cavs winning so far... we'll see if they can keep it up.

 

Warriors come back like I knew they would. Cavs been doing this all year.

 

OT now. Curry vs Irving is pretty exciting.

 

Let's go CAVS!!!

 

over. Irving had 2 drives where he probably got fouled toward the end.

 

GSW is finally healthy(almost)...when their top 7 players are playing they are dangerous.

 

surprisingly, graptenutz is no where to be found

 

Enjoy while it lasts.

Tonight's box score reminds of Lamb in D-League where he put up some ridiculous numbers and shooting percentages.

 

Nope.. They're overrated.

 

Welp.....can't say I didnt warn you guys

lets sum this up....
1) James Harden tonight: 8 points on 2-9 shooting, 1 assist, 3 rebounds.
The players OKC got for James Harden??? 28 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists

2) Dwight Howard tonight against Perk: six points on 3-12 shooting.

3) Presti to Morey tonight "You mad bro????"

Thunder Up

 

They're 1 game behind us in the standings.

 

I'll give you this one bro, but this was out 4th game in 5 nights. We played Spurs, Griz and Pelican before the Thunder. Still no excuses, good job!

 

Thunder are just the better team at the moment so I'll give you that. but you have to be reasonable considering the Rockets have played 7 games in the last 9 nights, 4 in the last 5 nights all during the holiday season. Thunder were rested and on their home floor as well. The difference between Thunder's 15 back to backs and Rocket's 20 is huge as well. Rockets get chunks of games together and then 2-4 days for rest while the Thunder's schedule is consistently spread out with at least some rest in between. It's the reason they've played 3 less games so far. It's harder for the Rockets to establish a rhythm as this pace.
You a troll though so this will go in one ear out the other.

 

4 games in the last 5 nights and 7 games in 10 days (5 against west and Indiana) while OKC has played 5 games in that span of time (3 against East)

 

I just looked up # of rest days between games this season.

Rockets, 29 games with 1 day of rest, 14 games with 2 days of rest, 5 games with 3 days rest

Thunder, 39 games with 1 day of rest, 14 games with 2 days of rest, 3 games with 3 days rest

huge difference

 

Sorry about Westbrook brah.

 

You forget we didnt have Westbrook (a top 10 player)....while you had 2(Harden..which is questionable)and Howard??
