That's a good idea. Get out in front of it especially with the Motie/Jones news today.

game 1 Curry: 40 pts, 14 of 26 shooting, 5 of 12 on threes, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 turnovers, team wins by 16pts to a playoff team
game 1 Harden: 22 pts, 6 of 21 shooting, 2 of 12 on threes, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 turnovers, team loses by 20pts to a lottery team

If you think you were robbed of being MVP James then play like it. Friday night should be interesting.

Nobody could hit for the Rockets (other than Harrell) and the Nuggets couldn't miss. Sometimes that happens and I wonder if they over-practiced and had fatigue issues.

Usually it takes a good 10 games into the season for things to normalize so I don't worry much about this team, but I agree that Friday night better have a better showing.


I would like to see an adjustment to the attack when 3s are clearly not falling. So often last night they would start to get back in it and rather than going to the rim, they'd jack (and miss) and 3. It killed them when they should have relentlessly attacked the rim.

I was hoping Ariza would drive the paint more like he did in the preseason but looks like he's back to attempting threes only again.

As for Harden, no excuses considering his pitiful 14 point, 12 turnover performance in Game 5 vs Warriors in playoffs. I was expecting him to go for 50 to make up for it.
