There an understatement! lol
I can't stand their game. I like Blake and have an appreciation for Reddicks off ball movement, but I can't stand Jordan, Barnes and Chris Paul.
Spurs need to steal the next game IMO
There an understatement! lolI HATED the Clips about 2 years ago. I know drob50 hates them still, I've come to admire Chris Paul a lot. Crawford and Redick are great to watch too. All this team needs is a complete makeover to grab some more fans. Ditch the loser Clips name and get some better colours to go with the new name.
But I really hope the Spurs can get through them, but it's going to be tough.

Love the fact it goes, do you love everyone hating you, then really, yes - Spurs no - Rockets
LOL
I am only a Kawhi Leonard and David Robsinson fan, otherwise I just didn't like how much they hack Smith and Howard, Omer etc. But these NBA players really need to learn how to shoot a foul shot. They are getting paid massive bucks. He seems to be able to shoot the running hook shot. Why not do the hook shot from the foul line.
Or underarm it like the olden days lol
I would love a Rockets V Cavs game. But I know this is unlikely. My prediction is the GSW V Cavs.
But liking how the bulls are playing and Blake destroying the spurs dunking
Yeah, you just timed it well.... I was on my morning stroll of the BBall talk! hahaHahaha, knews I would get some kickback from that comment considering I am a Rockets fan (Magic as well)
Thought it would take a little longer.
Also must add they have missed many calls on James Harden which would have skewed game results. So it goes both ways.
haha, Kevin McHale was hacking in the first QTR last week. In my opinion, the Rockets are the last team in the league that are in a position to complain about the intentional fouling problem, they have James Harden constantly driving through the lane with the SOLE intention of drawing a foul. It make for just as boring basketball as intentional fouling does.
“You know what? I don’t look to get fouled, as people might think I do,” Harden said, darting his eyes left and right to caricature the notion. “I’m not like: ‘Where’s the foul? Where’s the foul?’ as I’m driving.” [...] His only aim is to score the basket, Harden said, and if any defenders want to swipe at the ball to stop him, they can. But, he added, when he makes a move to the basket, he drives hard, and fouls are sometimes a byproduct.
Still, he was asked, what about the way he flattens out his arms to make them susceptible to being smacked, or how he changes pace on his dribble at counterintuitive times to create collisions, or his tendency to cling to defenders’ bodies even when freer paths to the rim seem to exist? [...] Harden smiled. “That’s just being crafty,” he said.
“Getting fouled is definitely an art, and he’s very good at it,” Rockets Coach Kevin McHale said, adding that Harden’s body awareness allowed him to initiate contact that works in his favor. [...] “You either know how to draw fouls or don’t, and I’m not sure you can teach it,” McHale added. “It may be innate.”
I've watched a few Rockets games and from what I observed, he's just great at drawing contact and a fantastic penetrator. Their offense is quite often predicated on Harden taking a screen at the top of the key, driving to the hoop, then kicking it to the open guy when help comes and when the defense is slow to rotate, they can't do anything but foul him. That's when he's at his best. I hate it when he takes all those crossover, step back, jab step 3 pointers while falling away. It looks awesome when it works but it's such a low percentage shot. But the few games that I did watch, there wasn't much theatrics and phantom calls on his defenders. He was earning his way to the line.
I just read an interesting fact this season James Harden ranks 48th in Most field goal attempted in a season.
824 = basically 10 a game.
44- Allen Iverson 829
41 - K.Durant - 840 in 2009-10, 804 in 2013-14 when he won MVP.
38 - Dwight Howard - 849 2008-09 (Hack-A-Dwight) Most he has had is 916 in 10-11
Karl Malone and Wilt are in there a lot.
Michael Jordan in there a few times
Wilt Chamberlain 1363 is the most in a season = 16.62 a game hahaha.
Lebron James is in there for a few seaons over 800
Just thought it was interesting so thought I would throw it in there.
Kobe's best attempt was 742 which ranks him 132 in 07-08
Yeah, sorry FTI assume you mean FT attempts? Not FG?
Come oooonnnnn Warriors!!!!
I put $3 on a combo of
Butler to score first basket in a Bulls win
and
Thompson to score first basket in a Warriors win
It was paying $44 and all I need now is a Warriors win for a $132 payout! haha
