NBA Game Action: 3/8/2015

Go Bulls and Lakers. Not sure who to root for in the Clippers-Warriors matchup. It's better for the Rockets if the Clippers lose I suppose, but man I hate Golden State.

 

Go Thunder too. The Pelicans are very near them. I have no love for the Clippers, but I want to see them beat GSW. Go Nets as well, the Utah Jazz will never get any sympathy from me.

 

Love how Memphis, Blazers & Hawks all lost last night.

 

I was happy that they all lost, but I wanted to see the Pelicans lose.
If we didn't have their pick, I would have been elated.

 

I hope Jeremy Lin scores 35 pts. off the bench against the Mavericks tonight.

Go Lakers!

 

I'll probably root for the Warriors today. The Clippers are still way too close for comfort. They only have 2 more losses than the Rockets and even if we manage to beat them next weekend, they'll still likely have the tiebreaker thank to their (currently)superior conference record.

As for the Thunder, I want them to win just enough to get the 8th seed, but that's it. If they win too many games, they could move up to 7th plus Westbrook could steal MVP votes from Harden.

 

I just want Clips and Dubs to go real hard at each other so they're both too exhausted to put away their weaker opponents tomorrow night in each's back-to-back.

Dubs dropping 2 in a row would be awesome.

 

Looks like SA is starting to "turn on" their "stretch run" motor.

 

They're lookin really good these past few games, hope this kills the "they're done" talk. Their feel for the game is incredible and they should be considered the best team in the NBA along with Golden State and Atlanta.

 

Eh...I think that's reputation speaking. They lost 4 straight, and now they're on a nice 4 (soon to be 5) game win streak, but during that streak who have they beaten? Kings twice, Nuggets, broken down Bulls, and the Suns?

I mean...a win streak is a win streak, but I can't put them on ATL or GS level. They haven't had an overly impressive win in quite a while. Can't count out Popavich come playoff time, though.

 

Uhh they haven't beat anyone in a while.

Tony parker is on fire

 

Leonard plays like Grant Hill post injury.

 

Manu isn't very good anymore. I've seen a bunch of bad turnovers and reaching fouls this game.

 

Seems like his old self

Not about strength of schedule, but they're looking like the championship team again. Beautiful team basketball and excellent execution on both ends, very hard to beat them in a series when they're playing like that.

Difference this year from Last year is they use to just beat the teams they were suppose to beat that's why they had a real good record. They still lost to good teams and got beat by us 4times.

But now they're starting to make sure they put those teams away and gaining their strength going into playoffs again.
