    It's not already winter?
    Or it's not already ugly?
    or both? :p

    ________________

    They're 16-17
    Not going anywhere fast
    Probably gonna end up somewhere between 38-42 wins
    8th seed; Daryl will tell us "We know we won't be the favorites & it won't be easy but we feel we can match up with Golden State and give them a run."
    Lose to Golden State in the first round
    Send their pick to Denver

    Congrats?

    Defenses are not giving Harden the same looks this year so baskets are better defended

    Because he only drives left to the rim from the top of the key 90% of the time, some teams are taking that away and letting the other players have open shots. the Nets did this really well and harden always hesitated to drive to the right of the rim. I have never seen a player so limited to where he is only good with left handed layups and top of key 3's. Is he limiting himself or is he doing the "analytic" ball preached by Morey???

    I hope someone slaps Curry's mouthpiece into the 20th row tomorrow night.

    Run out on the court and fight Curry and I might let you touch it.

    probably mentioned not that it matters now but the NBA did say that Harden was fouled on that drive late in the game by Millsap which was not called correctly

    Feels very rare the Rockets come out on the lucky side of these draws.

    If we collect enough of these do we get some kind of get-out-of-foul-trouble free card?

    There is already a PG. It is Harden. He is a SG by name only,
    which is why it is hard for any PG to play with him cos any PG
    would need the ball.

    What is needed is a defensive SG, Selofosha? Avery Bradley, George Hill type of player.

    Just my 2c.

    Avery Bradley would be perfect for this team. Great shooter from 3 and mid range and great defensive player.

    Hawks were playing 2nb2b too :eek: Pitiful

    Dwight's season's best points/rebs production was nullified by what he surrendered on defense (Horford).

    Pathetic season in Rocketland.
