Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Perspective of the day. I was looking at stats on a Schuman article today and he reminded me that last season 4 games in the 76ers were ranked number 1 in the power rankings. That didn't end well

Really? I wouldn't be worried about Thunder provided Durant is back by mid Dec. He's capable of leading them on a 15 game win streak and back into the mix. Remember two seasons ago where the Dwight Howard Lakers played awful for more than half a season? They were way below .500 and Kobe was still able to will them to the playoffs in the last 25 games.

Yea there was nothing fishy going on that season. Like the last 20 games the Jazz werent suddenly avging 5 less FTs a game and the Lakers FTs jumped by the same margin.

Yeah... they have no one but Kobe, though. That's it. If Kobe for some reason gets injured, their team is no better than the D-Fenders.

You're misunderstanding me. I was comparing this year's Thunder team to the 2011-12 Lakers. The 2011-12 Lakers had Dwight Howard and Steve Nash and Pau Gasol. They started out HORRIBLE, several games under .500 for most of the season and then Kobe went into Beast Mode and led them to the 7 seed. I brought this up to say that even though the circumstances are different, that Durant could lead an OKC team with a poor record into the playoffs. He will be back in time to do that.

For fuck's sake, harden already has shot 10 free throws in the first half.

Its ridiculous. There should be a big emphasis on not rewarding players like Hardin, they did it to the sweeping of the hand that Durant used to do 4+ times a game when he was shooting so many FT's and he doesn't flail as much as Hardin.
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Durant led the league last year at 9.9/gm. Harden going in game 5 was averaging 13.5/gm and already has 10 at half. It's a little out of control at this point.
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Perry Jones for the Thunder is out for the rest of the game with a knee bruise. They are down to 7 players for this game. Down 4 in the 3rd
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Holy shit now Reggie Jackson hobbled to the bench. They might be down to 6 players. 2 of which have 4 fouls.

Time for them to apply for the disabled player exception and then some! :MARIS61:
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Looks like Jackson is coming back in
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Its looking like Durant and Westbrick are going to have to dig themselves out of quite the hole.

I've watched him a couple times this year. He's taking his flopping to a whole different level.

I was going to watch the Rockets vs Heat game but I can even stomach it. It's almost insulting to watch at this point. Reminds me of the guy who constantly uses the video game cheat to look good.
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Glad Thunder is losing. How did Denver lose to these guys? Ugh. Heat coming back against Rockets!

Telfair just swung an open fist at Hansbrough.
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

...aaaand they can forget about that.
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

Telfair just got a Flagrant 2. Kicked out of the game.
 
Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

OMG! What if Telfair gets suspended?

Harden got all of his foul shots driving the paint. I don't know what people expect the refs to do, he gets past his guy with relative ease and I promise you, pause and slow it down...he takes a lot of hits directly on the arms. He doesn't go to the line jump shooting, he goes to the line driving the lane. The reason he's getting more FTs is because last season he had this bad habit of jacking up step back 3s that he hasn't really displayed this season yet.
