Dwight Howard on defensive woes: "Not going to talk about it anymore. Guys have to do their part on defense. It starts on the perimeter."

But i thought the rockets were a good defensive team? do work you got some explaining to do son

The eyebrow stare:

Wall & VC

 

[kevin cleveland]

In a game that featured Anthony Davis, Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic and Ryan Anderson, the leading rebounder was Ricky Rubio.

Worst NBA season in a while.

 

[il prescelto]

Anyone know where I can find league wide or specific team/player (either is fine) field goal percentages for open vs. contested layups and open vs. contested jumpshots?

thanks

 

[Peep Game]

this rockets forum reminds me why i stick to NT for sports and not lakers forums


"j lin 50-40-90 club watch thread" 

I think the worst team forum I've ever been to is SpursTalk. It's....terrible

 

[antidope]

SpursTalk is without a doubt the worst team forum I have ever seen.

Worst NBA season in a while.

Understatment.

I haven't been this discontent with an NBA season since 2000.

This season is horrible. No competition, mad injuries, no rivalries....just end this **** already.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

The hype n anticipation was od preseason but yeah this season has been bunz. Let the playoffs start already.

 

[Peep Game]

I'm guessing the nba really thought the Nets were gonna be contenders, given they have had multiple prime time slaughters games already

 

[lawdog1]

This season is fine, as long as your pretend that the East, aside from Miami and Indiana, just doesn't exist.

8-game losing streak for the Nuggets. Dre snapped on Shaw. I backed Shaw from the beginning but his use of Dre and Faried is puzzling sometimes.

when i watch the rockets and mchale and hear them after the gms

"we got to do better job moving the ball" basically james harden needs to pass the ball out. i dont know if mchale draws up an iso or what.
"stop making careless turnovers" jeremy lin needs to stop dribbling and give up the rock
"got to hit our free throws" dwight make a shot from the line

nobody is really held accountable

my bae chandler parsons

 

[kevin cleveland]

I'm fine with this season, and the two teams I enjoy most have 24 combined wins.

this was gonna be a down year with a new coach and missing gallo

 

[antidope]

I've been spending a lot of time watching teams that I usually am not concerned with an its been fun. Its easy when there are only like four top teams to worry about.

 

[champcruthik]

Well, I like both Shaw and Malone. My guy Ujiri needs to bring one to Toronto.

 

[cashbanks]

I've enjoyed this season so far other than the injuries

And the Nets being awful is fantastic

**** Paul Pierce

 

[champcruthik]

What are the chances NYK and BKN both win on the road tonight.

 

[swaggy p]

Don't count out the Raptors.

My predictions BKN and NYK get blown out tonight.

**** Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett

Fixed. Them both ending their careers on low notes is priceless

What are the chances NYK and BKN both win on the road tonight.

The Knicks play the Spurs so the answer is ZERO

 

[champcruthik]

Toronto has reportedly discussed a package involving Ross for Afflalo.

Afflalo has been a top-5 SG in 2013-2014.

 

[markangelo]

biggest surprise so far, NY or PHX? 

 

[champcruthik]

Phoenix. Thought they were surely tanking after the Gortat trade. Stashing, developing Len.

NYK can attribute some lack of success to Chandler and Felton injuries. Prigioni went down recently. JR's shooting struggles.
