Good teams get themselves out of these situations. Great teams don't often find themselves in them.

Everybody has close games but the rockets have had tons now. It doesn't speak well towards them.
 
You guys are harsh! Rockets held the best offense in the league under 100. The only easy points Dallas ever got this game were off oops which wouldn't have been there if Dwight had played.

Out of the 13 games, Houston have played 5 close, not every game has been close. When they were relatively healthy they were putting teams away pretty easily.

The offense looks bad at times, especially when they have no one to throw it inside to but they have played great defense all year long outside of one or two games and have not been healthy all year long.

I'm sure McHale will get exposed in the playoffs eventually though, but this wasn't a game they were supposed to win without any decent frontcourt players excluding Motiejunas.

Dallas keeps getting props all year but they do not play defense this year. They are going to get it pretty good against any team that hits the three pretty well, this includes GSW and the Blazers. Rockets went cold because they just missed some open threes, some of them were wide open...

We held them to 87. Just sayin
 
Dallas is overrated. Fuck it, all the Texas teams this year are not that great, the spurs will likely turn it on but its not like they're playing like world beaters.

I didn't say anything though about how the Blazers matchup to the Mavs, Mavs as a contender is funny to me because their defense is...not that good.

I'm sure if Dwight played they would have had less points though :P we did that without a NBA center.

Or not. Last season your team gave up 103.7 a game. With Dwight and with Asiks

They're overrated. Dirk isn't the superstar he was, Parsons is okay, and Tyson Chandler is old. They got way too much credit for their moves.
 
If he continues at this pace, Damian Lillard will sink 270 Three pointers during the regular season, two shy of Curry's record 272.

I think he has his sights set on the record. He wants to show the world how much better he is than curry.

Before the season, the guys on The Starters were talking about players that will remain the best at something and they brought up Curry saying that there was no one in the league who could come close to beating him for threes in a season this year.

Dame disagrees
 
Kevin Pritchard and healthy players don't seem to go together...

Maybe they will trade Roy for Claver.
 
I keep waiting for the Warriors to pull away from the Thunder and it's just not happening. Every game that we can get up on the Thunder the better

65-65 late 3rd

Yeah I'm a little torn on this game. I absofucking hate the Warriors. I hate OKC as well. Can't they both lose?
 
If we win our division are we guaranteed HCA in the first round? I can never remember
