Golden State "losing" David Lee has turned the series in their favor.

Should we have taken Festus Ezeli instead of Meyers Leonard?

My co-worker compared David Lee to JJ Hickson this morning, thought it was interesting.
 
Voodoo I tried to tell ya man. Your team is not one of the anointed ones.

Tanked? Their opponent shot 51-79, including 14 threes. The Warriors just couldn't miss.

Even the Thunder or Heat would have lost to the Warriors in this one tonight. The Nuggets only lost three games all season at home. They're still probably going to win this series, and they're going to be a tough out in the playoffs, largely because of that size, as well as their depth, but Thompson, Curry, and Jack were just unconscious from the perimeter tonight.

Nuggets are done. Warriors in 6.

In fairness, he had CarMElo for several years. He did OK in Seattle and Milwaukee.

He took Denver with Melo to WCF four years ago. His biggest chokes in the playoffs was with Seattle when they got bounced as the 1 seed in 1994 and as the 4 seed in 1995. His biggest choke period was with the Bucks in the reg season. They led the division in March and then completely fell apart and missed the playoffs. Can't remember what year. I think 2002.
 
Bucks did reach ECF though in 2001 and of course the Sonics reached the Finals in 1996.

I don't think losing David Lee is a positive. Hes a sieve on defense and playing small opens up the floor for the smalls but, despite the epic offensive performance last night, the team typically struggles more offensively without him. And he'll certainly be missed if/when Faried is back to playing big minutes.

Festus vs Meyers? Festus is absolutely better right now, but hes also 23 years old and his upside is limited by godawful hands and zero touch or offensive instinct or skills at all. Hes a sensational defender for a rookie and his rebounding has improved to being adequate over the course of the season (still not a plus though). Seems like he'll be a great backup and maybe a mediocre defense-only starter. I'd trade Leonard for him for sure just because of Leonard's potential. Great pick for the W's though and being the last pick in the first round, they've got him locked up at a decent price for a few more years.
 
I dont know how I got to watch it but somewhere on NBA.com they have the Hou/OKC overtime playing and you get to watch the action from 4 different camera angels at once.
 
Can't believe Perkins got away with knocking down Parsons right in front of the ref.
 
This game is getting spicey. A three foul and then another three and 3OT's here we come lol
 
Horrible Horrible Horriblie Horrible by Delfino and the rest of the rockets there. Twelve seconds gone for a 2 point play 1.6 left in the game.
 
Harden goes 9-24 from the field, yet also has 20 FT attempts.

LOL at the NBA refs.

I got confused by TNT's Overtime being on the top of the game as OT, so when I started watching it with 4 minutes left in the 4th it said "TNT OT 4m left OKC/Hou" so I assumed it was overtime. Hadn't been paying attention before I tuned in.

It actually shows up as TO not OT. I am just retarded I guess.

Harden was that aggressive. They didn't magically send him to the line while he was standing around.

No worries! My kids are watching a movie and my wife is watching some lame HGTV show. I was following the game via intertubes! Thought they may be wrong.
 
These playoffs are dominated by guards/wings. I know we need a center for defensive purposes, but I would not spend too much money. We need a SG so Wes can back up
the 2/3. It's all about the guard play.

Billups was added to the team that year and made all the difference. Prior to that, they were a first-round exit every year, and did so again the next as well.

What was your point again?
 
By the way, the Lakers may start Morris and Goudelock (D-League MVP) tomorrow. Must be exciting for them.
 
Dare I say this, but, today's version of Zach Randolph is actually a very high IQ bball player.
