Thank you, JStock, for the recent game threads. It is the busy time of year at work, and I haven't been very on it lately.

Pretty sure you just don't want to get traded away...

I quite enjoy creating the game threads, but the Pacers are only 2-2 when I'm the one creating them.

This is going to be a hullva a tough one tonight. Houston is playing really well. If we can somehow get a split between tonight and Friday that would be a huge success in my eyes.

Houston is playing fantastic this year. 2nd ranked offense and a 7th ranked defense. Winning this one on the road just seems so highly unlikely. It would definitely be the biggest win of the season though.

It's gonna be hard, but not impossible, we need get a good start, nothing like the game before against them, and maybe we got a chance.

I expect PJ Turker, Ryan Anderson, or whoever Thaddeus Young is guarding to go absolutely ham tonight. He just will not guard players who can shoot 3s.

Great test game to see what we're made of. I'm looking for literally any result other than a blowout for Houston.

Good start so far.

Vic with two blocks on Capela.

Sloppy.

We've had so many good defensive plays end up in baskets for the Rockets because the ball rolled their way.

Post #19 » by **Nuntius** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:27 am

The scorekeepers just robbed a rebound from Myles. This wasn't a "team" rebound. Myles clearly had that ball when Capela fouled him.

Sabonis 7 minutes = 0 shots
Lance 7 minutes = 4 shots

Team's basketball IQ needs to improve
