NBA Game Action: 1/9/2015

Is Morey gonna sign Black with a poison pill contract?

 

Goodness gracious, how many minutes have JVG and MJax actually talked about the game tonight?

Man, how good are the Hawks really? The east is weak compared to the west, but the eastern conference bracket will be pretty fun to watch from round 2 and on.

 

Warriors cap situation next year is awful.

They are at 78 mill in cap space so basically at the tax apron with Draymond Green and Barbosa off their books.

 

Were you paying attention when the Hawks had like 7 games in a row against western powers and beat them all? this includes the rockets.

 

Cleveland-GS game got ugly quick

Notice who the two leading scorers for the Lakers are tonight? Former Rockets starters Jeremy and Tarik!

 

It seems when the Bulls don't get 25 more FTA's, they don't win.

 

Thompson's been in the NBA for 4 years? Time flies

 

Butler averages just 1 less free throw attempt a game than Harden despite playing at a much slower pace (less possessions) and playing alongside a high possession guard in Rose, yet you never hear anyone b****in' about his free throw numbers. It's all praise. It was the same exact case with Derozan last season.

About four to five hundred less

 

I wasn't complaining about the high number of FT's the Bulls got, I was complaining about the laughably low number of FT's the Rockets got. When the ref calls the game equally for both teams, the Bulls struggle to score.

Gobert going to shut down Dwight tomorrow.

 

I want to play the Warriors again
