No one cares about this. Let me know when Jalen Rose brings this up. OKC wins, because of RW. OKC loses, because of bum teammates. RW is teflon right now.
Pretty much...and that still remains his major quality. Like i said in the game thread the other day, at some point in the game, in every one of his last three games, he literally lost his man because he was not even looking at the ball and he was turning around like he had not clue of where he was, it was kinda odd to me because i mean, it's something that can happen obviously, but like in three consecutive games? I never saw something similar...he also lost a lot of balls dribbling it on his feet, or because he literally lost it from his hand while he was standing...
MEM can't beat us. Don't listen to the ppl who say they've figured us out on defense and are a bad match-up. We've destroyed them the last two games. We are beating them by getting anything we want off the PnR...the lane,,,then the 3 ... yet, ppl say that's how they stop us? Some of our best PnR attacks on video is those last two games. Plus, worst shooting team in the league. OKC series will be more fun to watch, though.
I agree.. but man, Grizz give the Rockets trouble no matter what. I do have a phobia about playing the OKC Westbrook's in the first round. It has nothing to do with their play; it's the hype. There's just too much hype. I remember when the Rockets got bounced in the playoffs by Portland. I had this uneasy feeling. Rockets were stacked, but there were all these damn Lillard commercials running before our games. It made me feel suspicious, like the league was rooting for Portland to win. A lot fishy stuff was going on in that series.. LMA was fouled on every play it seemed.. Now, Westbrook and the Hype machine is at peak levels! Commercials, history, everything. I would feel that same uneasiness going into that match-up.. I know.. irrational.. unlike.
I think i agree with this. Harden is also going to work 100% against Memphis, Allen is a great defender but for some reason he can't guard James, Roberson on the other end seems to be one of the few guys able to give James some trouble by himself.
Lamarcus was a matchup nightmare and Lillard went off. Jeremy Lin was a solid contributor for the Blazers that series too. The Rockets would gentleman sweep the Thunder like we did Dallas two years back.
I also think Harden was pretty gassed at the time after playing a 38m per game season, Parsons had some back issues before the playoffs, Pat had some injuries too i think...not sure i remember 100% right but i think we were definitely not at 100%... And yeah, there were at least two games where we got really screwed by the refs...i remember someone made a post here going doing some sort of review for every call in one of those two games and it was a disaster.
Maybe Memphis just want to play a low paced series against an old team like the Spurs since they're old too lol
stupid Lakers just dropped into a tie with the Suns for the 2nd lottery slot Maybe the Suns will show them how tanking is done against us.
