    He was actually quite garbage this game tbh.

    Had they lost it would have been on him he missed so many easy shots by his standard.

    One thing I wish he woud do more of is post up. He's got such a size and strength advantage over every SF outside of lebron.

    He's never going to be a great ISO player who can get to the hoop with his handles and first step but he could kill everyone in the post. His midrange jumper is so good.

    If the Kings can hang on and get this win.

    Assuming oKC beats portland Tom night the rockets would completely control there own destiny for the 6th seed.

    Win out and the 6th seed would be ours.

    Good enough for me

    Garbage or not garbage, the guy won them the game, its the end result that counts

    It's a W on the spurs record, and he showed up for it when they needed him most

    With Harden on the team, Rondo would be 5 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 0/10 on three-pointers.

    The Spurs get a lot of wins, its not soley because of Leonard. He's a great player so of course he's a big part of it.

    But.... Just cause he hit the game winner doesn't mean he had a good game... Because he didn't.

    what is its crime to call out good players for having bad games?

    We do it all the time to rockets players.

    As long as the Rockets win out, we'll get the 6th seed. Memphis needs to lose 3 of their final 4 games, but I'm liking the chances. They have to play @Dallas, Golden state twice, and @Clippers.

    Perfect scenario would see:
    Portland go 2-1 44-38 5
    Houston go 5-0 43-39 6
    Memphis go 0-4 42-40 7
    Dallas go 2-3 41-41 (I don't know the tiebreaker here)
    Utah go 2-2 41-41

    Its tough seeing this years Rockets going 5-0 though......:rolleyes:
    Interestingly, the Clippers can play a huge role in all of this, playing every team except Houston and Portland.

    The Wolves are playing the Warriors better than the Rockets.

    This Wolves team will be scary in 2 or 3 years. They just need to get some coaching and some veteran role players

    Honestly they will be ok with the squad they have because they will be a tight knit group after going through all these low years together.

    Levine, Town and Wiggins are young. But Rubio is a vet of International games plus NBA games.
