Elsalvajeloco Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I turned off the game when the Rockets were up 14 or 15. I turn back and they're down by 4 with 3 minutes left in regulation. Harden ain't too tired to knock over some Purell.
ohtani's jacket Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 How long are the Rockets going to stick with Mike D'Antoni?
Contentious C Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Long enough to waste Harden's title window, I'd guess.
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 58 three point attempts. When will they learn? Law of averages says you are not going to hit them all. They hit 8 in a row to start the second half. So what do they do? They keep shooting and shooting and shooting.... missing... and then of course they were trying to flop on some of those attempts as well.

Can their wings even put the ball on the floor and drive when left wide open in the corner? Especially, as Kenny Smith pointed out, with not a lot of time left on the shot clock.

When they went ice cold from 3 he could have attacked the basket and stopped the bleeding. Edited August 25, 2020 by Niners Fan in CT

Brian Fowler Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 If Houston falls in the first round, even with the Westbrook injury as a reasonable explanation, I think that's is for D'Antoni. They pointedly didn't extend him last summer, setting up the very strange situation of having a head coach actually in his final year on his contract. It can be a clean split. Harden doing too much all year and running out of gas is an annual issue, but he's been so adamantly against load management...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 If the Lakers can continue to get outside shooting they are winning it all sadly. LeBron and AD are doing their thing, the one issue LA had was finding consistent outside shooting.
Lawful Metal Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 So what did I miss? Have the game on DVR, can’t wait 3
_MJ_ Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Porzingis is out again. Very bad break for the Mavericks. I wonder about Porzingis long term health going forward.
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 The refs didn't have Harden throwing line drive fast balls at the rim and falling over when a soft wind blew through the Disney bubble. 1 3

Especially after the other day when you made a bold statement (that I wouldn’t have even posted) about how if the refs were better my team would have swept LA. Personally I think we should be up 3-1 (Game 1 being the game we got robbed for sure), but hey I’m happy with a 2-2 split now. What chance in % are you giving your guys to beat the Lakers in the next round (if they survive this series)? Honestly I’d rather have had Denver up 3-1 on Utah instead of what that is as I think Dallas would have a much easier time against Denver.

I think there’s a better chance of Samoa Joe getting to be WWE champion than there is of Kristaps ever surviving a full season/playoffs. Which breaks my heart as the Mavs chances of winning a title without him are basically slim an none (unless Seth somehow turns into Steph Curry 2.0).
ohtani's jacket Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Looks like Giannis is going to be MVP + DPOY. That ought to send some folks into a meltdown.
Jiji Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Normally I'd spoiler tag it due to size, but naw. I'm good. There is no defense in this Jazz/Nuggets series and I love it. It's going to take Utah some time to adjust to the Clippers if LA survives because Utah can absolutely play defense. Part of me still wants to see the all LA West final but the Jazz are great and the team I like the most in the West. If the Clips get dumped in the first round, do they explore a PG13 trade? His value would be in the toilet, but he's been an absolute invisible man so far and the free agent market this off season is ugly. Edited August 26, 2020 by Jiji

Stealing someone else's joke but... Giannis winning the Defense award is bullshit. Rudy Gobert should have gotten it. He shut down the entire league. 2 2

I don't know how much stock you put into them but both defensive win shares and defensive ratings were Giannis' and it wasn't really close. Edited August 26, 2020 by Jiji
