OKC and Houston are tied at 51....after the 3rd quarter. Houston just scored 9 points in that 3rd quarter. Lol. Both teams are shooting below 30%.
Their 9-1 record is a reflection of their easy schedule. Against better teams I don't think they can hang, especially with good defensive teams like Memphis. Sometimes I wonder how other teams would have done with a schedule as tough as ours. Schedule makers really f***ed us.
How about Memphis? Is it a fluke or are they serious? I have a feeling they'll be the team that starts strong then drops and drops and drops and will be ousted in the playoffs, then Gasol will come here.
Jason Kidd and the Nets actually did well last year once Lawrence Frank was fired. Nearly all the games tonight have been blowouts.
Anyone catch the Grizzlies and Clippers game? Grizzlies look solid, better than they have been the past couple seasons. Clippers though look worse, don't think they get out of the first round.
the basketball fan in me says "Memphis is for real", but the lifelong nba watcher says "wait, they play in Memphis and are neither aesthetically pleasing nor feature a household name". they're screwed, one way or another. get used more harden FTs FTW.
James Harden once again shows off his defensive prowess. This time, he's near the halfcourt line, ahead of every single player on the Knicks. He does not take a single step to get back in transition. He just watches as the Knicks score an easy layup.
Hamstring tightness. Thibs took him out for precautionary reasons because he didn't want Rose playing the up and down pace the Nuggets run all game. No setbacks or new injuries.
If he's not there for playoffs, AGAIN, i would seriously trade him or just buy him out. They play and look good without him. Add/replace him with a healthy star and ECF every year.
