Don't make me list the ways in which the turnover stat is lacking. There needs to be a loss of possession stat. And an Almost LOP stat.

Does it make you mad when a guy goes up for a left hand layup and jumps off his left foot or doesn't make a solid jump stop before passing?

If it causes him to miss or lose the possession or almost do so, if it's a pattern for him.

remind me again what Houston was thinking when they traded Chris Paul for Westbrook....?

If Houston had CP3 tonight, they very well could have won.

Houston doesn’t believe in continuity, if it doesn’t work in 2-3 years they change the team. It’s worked for them as they’ve been in deep playoff runs but they can never finish the job, usually no chemistry.
 
Haven't had a chance to read the entire thread, so maybe this has already been covered...

Is Nurk collapsing to the floor on purpose has to not put a ton of pressure on his leg? Seems like he went down unnecessarily a few times, not related to his usual getting hit int he beak or mid-section.

If a team was ran by a message board, this is how it would be! Actually 2-3 months would probably be all it took for sweeping changes!

It’s got to be scary for him when he dunks and lands on one leg. I think he’ll get used to it.
 
These games are playoff-quality, much better than the usual end-of-regular-season tanking/vacations that some teams always take. This time there are no slacker teams.

Usually I miss a few, but this time our games are so entertaining, that I'm just as intense about not missing one game, as the team is intense when they play.

did notice that. After that dunk, got hit, and he seemed to do a parachute fall. As not to jam that leg into the ground.

I assume that second one should be Trent.

Answer: Simons can create his own shot better. And you don't know who's going to be a big game player till you play in big games. Although Trent did pretty well for Duke, so...

Simons will come around. Maybe not for us, but he's too talented to flame out of the league. He had a solid game today, too, and it was nice to see Terry trust him with minutes.

your right I meant Trent on the second one. But man how did we not hype Trent up?
 
It must be that unpronouncable foreign name that no one has ever heard before.

My favorite. Every loss finds a fan base (including ours) placing blame in the same areas.

I just love this one. Calling dame and CJ the biggest Bitch back court when the Rockets have had a Combination of Harden and Russ/CP3 for the last 5 years.
"It sucks we lost, especially to Dame and CJ, the biggest bitch backcourt in the league, but there's a lot to like about the Houston Rockets right now."

He’s clearly suffers from Lillacism, the act of thinking you’re superior to Damian but are really a sniveling bitch.

Please choose a different adjective than bitch. We can be more creative than that.
 


Morey trying to be funny. No doubt sick of hearing that the Rockets are ruining basketball. It's true, though - their game is so ugly. And it's funny that they've got the same coach as the universally-loved Seven-Seconds-or-Less Suns. I think that's why Harden doesn't get the MVP respect he probably deserves.
 
Speaking of the SSOL sun's teams, its funny to me that their pace then would be last in the league currently
