2016-2017 Around The NBA

[Snarly]

They dropped 142 with nobody shooting particularly well...wtf

That is the Rockets and Harden for you though. They always seem to defy logic and have a great team or game even when they suck.

Nice! Calderon is an incredibly bad defender

Rockets, after 50 3PA last game, jacked up 58 tonight. D'Antoni has told them he wants them to take 50 per game for the rest of the season. Will be an interesting experiment to watch.

God bless Mike D'Antoni. The Rockets were out shot by 50 percentage points but won by 12. I think he turns the league on it's head.

Miami is now 1.5 games behind Detroit and 3 games behind Indiana and Chicago.

plenty of games for Miami to get up to the 6th seed.

Dion is averaging 20.6 ppg and 5.8 assist shooting 47 %overall and 45% from three. as well as a 9.5 net for the last 15 games.

Are they honestly that much better than last year when they folded like a lawn chair to GS in the playoffs?

Yes
they added Gordon, Nene, Ryan Anderson and Lou Williams
Capella and Harrell are much better players than their rookie seasons
and they were a 500 ballclub last season
Better coach
and their offense is more fundamentally sound

Good! I hope they upset GS then.

We're not far away from teams just deciding they don't want to take two pointers any more. Whenever I see people passing away from a layup to take an open three I feel like it's kind of a perversion of the game. The goal of basketball is to put the ball in the basket, not to make jump shots from behind an arbitrary line

What makes the line arbitrary?

He only got 10 of them lol

When you have Harden and Lue Williams on the team, the refs start to give everyone a FT.
They are not going to get close to that amount of FTs in the post season so they better get them all now.

James Harden drank 2 bottles of his GILBERT ARENAS DRAW A FOUL FRUIT PUNCH before the game....
