Last season, Barton was thinner and Claver was taller than this season.
 
Wow, we are tied for the fifth best record in the entire NBA.

I think tonight Claver actually decompressed and gained a couple of inches in height, he played tall
 
Terrific game. Really enjoyable. I thought McCollum looked really good. Claver is just smart. And Freeland was solid.

This bench has potential.
 
It was cool that Stotts stuck with the bench when they were getting rocked, and coached them to the win.

54 wins. Man that feels good.
 
One thing for sure, we have some really well rested bench players for the playoffs. Fresh legs. Youth. It's looking good!
 
Stotts the players coach: Played 4 of his starters so they would have started all 82 games. Played Fropez in the second half to get him the franchise offensive rebounding record. Trusted his bench to pull the game out.

Congrats to Stotts for a great year, 54 wins, and setting a franchise record for biggest single season win total increase.

:cheers:
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but Dame has made 400 3's in his first two years. That's 78 more then Klay had.
 
Those games vs LA/PHL/ORL are just eating away at me right now. Even if just one of those losses were wins, we'd have home court.

One made FT by Wes and our record against HOU would be 2-2 with home court here.
 
I'm not just saying this, but it may be better for us to start the series on the road. I think Houston is much more seasoned as a playoff team than are we, and I could see us getting our doors blown off in game one before we find our playoff footing. I think on the road, we can win game two.

Are they really though? LA has three series under his belt. Mo has quite a bit of experience. Houston isn't that seasoned if you really look at their roster. It's not at all like that series in 2008 when they had a ton of old vets.

You make a fair point. I may have to rethink my position.

I think I was focusing on Howard, as a guy who had carried teams in the playoffs before. You're right about LA, Mo and Dorrell.

So, adjusting my point of view, we may be able to steal Game One before they adjust. :biglaugh: :ghoti: (someone needs to create a "homer" smiley named :mags: )
 
Both Howard and Harden have progressed in the Playoffs - all the way to the Finals. If anybody on our team has won a Playoff series it's Mo, and that's it (was he on the CLE LBJ teams?).
So, their big two have winning experience in the Playoffs - none of our core players have that.

"I just do it for the people."

"It's not about 'me' it's about 'we'."

Love this guy. Love this team.
 
Haha, that interview was awesome.
Will The thrill, the peoples champ
 
For years, I felt like I was a chump rooting for a group of a-holes who were being marketed to me in the slickest way possible. Perhaps I'm being fooled again, but I love this team. They seem not only likable, but that they like each other. It's refreshing.
