How do they get stuck with these late ass games ... Los Angeles, Portland, even in their own home 8:00pm tip? Come on.
No doubt the NBA is jizzing their britches about the Harden vs Westbrook matchup. It was always going to be Sunday night prime time.
I think (& would have preferred) 2:30pm on Sunday is prime time. So these two West Coast teams are gonna be playing at 12:30pm local time. ZzZzZzZzZ ... Couldn't give them the 'late' game?
I know Harden and Westbrook are "friends", but I expect James and his teammates to be preemptively pissed off that he's not going to win MVP and to make quick work of the Thunder.
Didn't they say that they were looking to send a message after destroying OKC in that last game? I'm pretty sure Bev or Ariza said something like that.
the rockets have the easier side of the wc bracket. spurs in a slump as they head into the playoffs. the two most wc dangerous teams in the warriors and jazz on the other end too.
Funny how we were supposed to be THE series...aside from Sunday game 4, we got shafted. We better get Grant Hill / Webber / Steve Smith for TNT and not ****ing Reggie, he would ruin watching the games!!
Every game we play is late except one Sunday game if the series even makes it that far. http://www.espn.com/nba/schedule I was wrong. Wednesdays game is at 7pm.
Ranking every NBA playoff series by upset potential 7. Houston Rockets (3) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (6) Going by head-to-head record might underrate the Thunder, who lost the season series 3-1 to the Rockets but were close in every game, three of which were decided by three points or fewer. At the same time, because Oklahoma City plus-0.8 differential fell short of the team's 47-35 record, Houston had a five-point edge in differential. Teams with an advantage between four and six points per game during the regular season are 45-4 in best-of-seven series since 2000. Upset probability: 11 percent
