RandomAct Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I know we have a Rockets fan here, and you're a good dude, that that is such a shitty fanbase. Josh Smith whacks Barea in the face, and they are complaining that a foul was called? GTFO with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 TorontOLOLOLOL! Everything MLSE touches turns to shit. And here's a totally random question: why doesn't the league put a team in Montreal? Honestly I think that would be an amazing market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Can Dallas jettison Rondo NOW so I can feel comfortable rooting for this team again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I hope everyone still waiting on this magical, "playoff Rondo" to show up is watching this game. Harden is all in his head. I've never been a Rondo fan but I didn't think it would get this bad for him in Dallas. Also, the Wiz should win their series. I don't care how many times the Raptors beat them in the regular season. The Wizards have more talent and the Raptors have been coasting for about a month. Cavs have to get more from their bench. Lebron's turnovers have been an issue for most of the season. It comes with his point-forward duties, but he cannot allow it to be a trade off for his assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm perfectly fine if Rondo sits the rest of the series and we start Felton instead. At least he and Barea showed up to fucking play playoff basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I may have to reevaluate my thoughts on Houston if Josh Smith is actually going to play like this and Dwight Howard keeps getting healthier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Rondo still on the bench... I know people don't want to say it, but you cannot hide Dirk on the defensive end if Josh Smith is going to play like this... Josh Smith been waiting the whole season "for a moment like this"...

RandomAct Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If we're letting Josh Smith beat us, we deserve to fucking lose. Dirk isn't hitting his shot, so get Aminu back in, shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This is embarrassing. I can understand 1 or 2 alley oop lobs. They did the same thing like 6 times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I didn't have much of an opinion one way or another about Rondo until tonight. He let his team down in the playoffs over whatever beef he has with the coach. This is the playoffs, leave that shit somewhere else. You owe your team that. I hope every GM in the league remembers this shit next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I mean, on the one hand, Dallas was only down one before their disastrous 4th quarter. Harden is still getting to the line, but so far, he's not shooting great against the Mavs. Dirk had a terrible shooting night, but you have to believe he's got a couple of good ones left in him for this series. On the other hand, if Houston is going to continue to go on runs when Harden is off the floor, Dallas can forget it. Good offensive game from Dirk or not, his defense is still going to be a problem. Tyson Chandler can't be left on an island choosing between a Dwight Howard alley-oop or a Josh Smith drive to the basket for an entire quarter. The Mavs' PnR defense has to be better or at least able to stop Houston from running the same damn play on them over and over again. They need Rondo to be alive because I don't think they want a Barea/Felton backcourt for an entire game. I always thought Chandler Parsons was only a slightly above average player, but I'm not stupid. They really needed his offense in yesterday's game.

Bill S. Preston ESQ. Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Has there been a bigger mid-season acquisition with the impact that Josh Smith has brought to Houston? Corey Brewer has to be up there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Has there been a bigger mid-season acquisition with the impact that Josh Smith has brought to Houston? Corey Brewer has to be up there as well. Mozgov, Shumpert and JR. Houston essentially played the same before and after Smith. The Cavs went from .500 to 36-9.

Lawful Metal Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It's a little scary that Harden hasn't had a good playoff game yet. Are there any actual power forwards on the Mavs roster? I think Josh Smith just lobbed up another alley pop to Dwight just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
