    If you look at it this way... If Rockets go up 2-1... what are their chances of losing three straight to get bounced? Take care of business tonight and it could be over by 6.

    there are a handful of somewhat competent refs, but we rarely see them in the playoffs year after year. somehow they don't get assigned to our series lol

    That's the greatness of competitive sports and seeming parity.

    It's 50 - 50. And refs.

    I think Clippers are at 55-45.

    but that is just playing into Lakers hand, which is to keep the ball outta Rox's best player

    in game 2, Westbrick had
    • more shot attempts from the outside than the Beard, awa
    • more t/o than baskets made

    A win is never a simple win.

    A loss is never a simple loss.

    Drama and injuries.

    mcgee is out. they'll probably run small all the time or howard. hopefully this will make AD and Lebron play more minutes and bad in the fourth. i want to wear them out and get lebron injured. pull that groin

    I'm not sure I like our defensive strategy on Rondo in game 2. He's not as bad of a shooter as Dort. If we leave him completely open he can get in rhythm. I believe our defense should be good enough to cover everyone appropriately. We should at least close out on him a little and make him think about it.

    Avery Bradley was such an important cog in their machine.

    It will definitely happen if it should cone to pass. We are going to get "fosterized". That thus kinda **** still happens in NBA in 2020 is infuriating. Certainly nobody goes into a NFL game and asks who the officials will be.

    Corruption, corruption, and more corruption.
