    I know the team has been playing out the string and playing a bunch of meaningless games lately but I'm not all that pumped about this team going into the playoffs. Haven't showed me much to be excited about lately. They act and play like they can just turn on a switch. It doesn't work that way for most successful playoff teams.

    We actually played really well that quarter .

    After we got that huge lead we missed a few wide open threes and min made a few tough ones .

    Min isn't gonna shoot 6/7 from 3 every quarter .

    Hey, where are people calculating Tiny Archibald's total points produced, and where are they calculating Harden's.

    Are people just doubling Tiny's assists and adding to points, then going to nba.com stats site to use the "Pts Created off of Assists" stat for Harden? Or did you get that countdown number from somewhere else.

    I'm asking because I think the nba.com stats site is being unfair to Tiny, fwiw.

    Who said it was a "meaningless" record?

    I said it was a meaningless game.

    I don't know about you, but as a fan the only thing that really matters is RINGS. How do you know they're going to be eliminated in the second rd?

    What I do know is that if he gets hurt in a meaningless game they have no shot of going deep in the playoffs.

    That said I respect your opinion and I certainly understand as a fan wanting him to have the record. As I pointed out however, if were to get hurt everyone would be going off on why he was in the game at all. I also understand that you can't go into a game being afraid of getting hurt. However $hit happens.

    Back to the game.

    Used precise point totals from ball-ref.

    Harden's points off assists stat is the one being used I believe.

    I have absolutely no confidence in Eric Gordon and Lou Williams offensively, which is amazing.

    "With five assists in the first quarter, James Harden became the first man in NBA history to record 2,000 points, 900 assists and 600 rebounds in a single-season."

    congrats to Harden

    what the hell has Jeff Bzdelik been doing lately? Our defense has regressed so much, we stopped trying.

    From nba.com, right? That actually adds FTs created from Assists. I just confirmed that via comparing to the PBP. If so, Tiny's number doesn't have FTs from Assists in it.

    but don't tell the media.

    I don't either, 1 of them shooting over 50% from the floor seems like a borderline miracle these days

    Minnesota can't miss. We can't find. That's irritating.

    Missing wide open threes, kicking balls off knees on drives, and giving up layups and dunks defensively. Yep, playoff basketball...

    As bad as Lou had been , to me Eric Gordon's struggles have been worse.

    Gordon and Lou need to get their ass outta their hands and start making shots or else we will have no chance.
