Rockets are just that good! Now blowing out the Pelicans without Paul

Minnesota and New Orleans get the losses we wanted going into the day.

And have the least deserving fan base

It's at least a tie with OKC.

Now let’s win tomorrow!

Parker on Leonard: “My injury was a hundred times worse”

Parker on Leonard: “My injury was a hundred times worse”

Prior to the season starting, who would have ever predicted that it would be Kawhi being called out by his teammates for being soft while LaMarcus Aldridge would be dominating Gobert and Favors in a critical late season victory over the Jazz?

With their win over NOP yesterday, HOU set a franchise record with 59 wins. It seems hard to believe that a team that had 17 years of Hakeem Olajuwon, plus many other great players (Moses Malone, Elvin Hayes, Calvin Murphy, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler, Scottie Pippen, etc.) Has never won 60 games in a season.

Anybody know the Blazers "Golden Girls". Any stories to be told?
I guess they are going to call it quits after this season.

Houston is 39-2 when they are complete? That's like 4 loses in the fuckin season. Madness and people still doubt them.

Doubting and hating are two different things.

And yet it took off shooting nights from our two best players for them, at full strength, to beat us - barely.

If people are underestimating HOU, I think they are underestimating POR, too.

Agree.

Lebron just dunked over the entire Brooklyn team.

Let’s Go Bucks!

I was surprised by that headline, too. But when I thought back to their championships, they either underachieved during the regular season or over-achieved in the playoffs. There's a reason why the debate rages on, regarding whether they only won because Jordan was swinging a bat, or because they are one of the all-time great teams.

 

[DDolla]

Down goes Spurs!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Good start to the Western Conference day - a San Antonio loss!

Uh, Houston is 3-0 against the Blazers this season. In one of those wins they were missing Harden.....

 

[H.C.]

Good start to the Western Conference day - a San Antonio loss!

now just need W's from Portland and GSW

[BonesJones]

Taurean Prince with 28 points after 3 quarters against Houston.

 

[Chris Craig]

A warrior win will lock 2nd place for them

 

[ripcityboy]

Utah destroying GS.

 

[KingSpeed]

Utah destroying GS.

Utah can win a playoff series against a Curry-less Warriors. No doubt in my mind.

 

[B-Roy]

Utah destroying GS.

Yeah....they're destroying....this team...

That can't be... I was told the 2seed was still in play !

 

[Chris Craig]

The Warriors have 54 wins. If they beat the Jazz which it doesnt appear they will they would have 55. The most the blazers can get now is 54.

... You realize I'm making fun of Kingspeed right ?

Aldridge has been unstoppable lately. Averaging 36/9 over his last five games on 60% shooting from the field. Even destroyed Gobert in one of those games for 45 in OT. Really thought he was done after last playoffs
