Has anyone seen this Sacramento GSW score?!
 
102-67 GS with 90 seconds left in the game. Wow.
 
I love that the Wolves beat the Heat last night and lost to Orlando tonight! Wonder if Heat fans were freaking out like some of the nut jobs on here? I love the NBA!

To be fair, both Love and Vucuvic were out.
 
How lucky is HOU?

Den is up 2 with the ball and a few seconds left (after making a ridiculous comeback in the second half to take a double digit lead), and Randy Foye (a great shooter) misses a FT. Then, Harden comes down knocks down yet another BS three to force OT. And HOU takes over in OT.

Almost identical to their game against us. Sometime soon that luck will run out-- hoping it's in the playoffs.
 
Yeah at some point (not just DEN but the whole damn league) you'd think about putting a man in front of Harden up above the 3 line. Seriously, make him take a 2 mid range (I don't _think_ he shoots 12-15 nearly as good as it seems he shoots threes)...Let him drive around you so long as he's inside the 3 line. Help D can help at the Rim, who's he going to kick to? Lin?....I think you plan for that and make sure to rotate over on Lin for a contested shot or he kicks to ANYONE else you are ok with taking a shot on you.
 
At this point I think whoever we play in the west is a crapshoot. We have a good road record. Sometimes picking out the baddest guy on the playground and knocking him out early is the way to go.

I'll certainly take our road record, however, of the 8 teams in the playoff picture (as of today) We have the second worst road record.

Rockets aren't good on the road either, so that's good.

True, but it also needs to be put into context.

San Antonio 29-9
OKC 23-14
LAC 23-17
Houston 20-17
Blazers 22-18
GS 22-16
Dallas 22-17
PHX 20-17

Other than the Spurs, the other teams are all within 4 losses of each other on the road, and they all have more road games left than Portland, who only has one.

When I cherry pick data, I expect it to not be cross-examined, damnit! :)
 
The hEat suck. They have three NBA All Stars and a former one off the bench. They play in the Eastern Conference and get to play crappy teams several times all season long. And still, they can't win 60 games? fAiL
 
Wow. Plumlee blocked what would've been a game winning dunk by LeBron. Nets sweep the Heat. Dang, I hope Brooklyn can get by Chicago because they can beat Miami in a series. I really believe it.
 
How apropos that these two guys move to #3 all-time in assists and #10 all-time in scoring on the same night.

I love the PDX guys, but if Jones is a bit hurt during the upcoming series, well, that happens sometimes.
 
Saw that Jones injury. Houston is literally limping into the playoffs.
 
After Watching the Plumlee Block on Lebron a few times I think we will see the NBA release a statement saying Lebron was fouled and it was a bad no call.
 
Bet 'Bron lights up Memphis tomorrow night for 50!
 
Crazy stat of the day: Nets are 1st team to ever sweep a LeBron James team in a 4-game season series.

Also

LeBron James has played more minutes without Dwyane Wade (1,639) than with him (1,149) this season

Is that like at some hash-bar in Amsterdam (although I guess its legal in Colorado so I guess there are perks to playing Denver in Denver now?) or something....holy crap they look blitzed out of their skullz
 
High scoring Heat/Grizzlies game. Randolph has 19 points on 9/9 shooting early in the 2nd.
 
Grizzlies are a horrible defensive team. No playoffs for them.

They fired Hollins and hired Joerger because of the way Joeger coached the defense. Hopefully L-Train is laughing at how much Memphis has regressed in his absence. Joerger seems more concerned with grooming his beard than he does coaching offense.

Well the Grizz are scoring tonight. They just can't get stops. They are horrid. As I said, no playoffs this year.

It was a pretty infamous series of photographs. Search "Drunk + Nowitszki".
 
Wow. Indiana benched their entire starting lineup for the game against Milwaukee tonight.
