Yes.

Hate to see a player get in this predicament, but that was almost OUR problem.....for two more years.

Glad Grunwald had some nuts.

I see the word "prexisting"?

His knee is looking reaaaal nice! Looks like shumps handle and shot is better than last year. He needs to finish with more consistency at the rim though but he has a nice post-operation first step.

Best offense in the league? No, they don't. Not even close. Just because they rank 1st in points scored per game doesn't mean they have "the best offense". They rank 8th in FG%, 8th in 3PT%, 17th in FT%, 17th in offensive boards per game and deal last (30th) in turnovers per game.

Best offense in the league? Now that's a laughable joke if I've ever seen one.

Also if you're going with points per game as a way of claiming Houston's "the best offense" well, then, would it be safe to say that Houston has the 28th worst defense? Because allowing an awful average of 102.5 points per game says they do. 28th ranked defense? Come playoff basketball? Swept in 4.

Nash would always lay on the floor instead of sit on the bench because of his back.

Nash ... it's all over but the shouting.

I do like their offense, and it is one of the best, i'd rank them personally from the amount of game I've watched probably in the top 5, 6 at the least.

I know they're in the top 10 in most area impacted by offense.

But most high ranked offenses dont have a high ranked defense this year....only the Heat Spurs and Thunder are top 10 in both....which is kinda why most have them only as NBA champion favorites, and legit contenders.

Rockets vs. Nuggets should be one hell of an exciting series.

What? I thought the Nuggets and Rockets were lined up to meet in the 1st round. Not anymore?

Dr. Detfink · Post #1134 » by **Dr. Detfink** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 9:56 pm

The Rockets are a young team. They're starting 22-year old Greg Smith who went undrafted in 2011. Their Center Omar Asik (27) has only 2 seasons under their belt. James Harden (23) first full season as a starter right? All these pieces put together during a season, I would LOVE to see them higher but it doesn't surprise me that they're in this spot.

They're best bet now is to get the Spurs.

Run the old guys up and down the court, plus having a guy who's yet to get out of the first round is gonna be interesting. :lol:

Looks like the Hawks are tanking. Good news. They're playing their bench guys against the Raptors.

Who has the tie breaker between the Hawks/Bulls? Interesting situation being set up for tomorrow.

Quick question if the Lakers lose tomorrow and the Jazz wins what happens to the Lakers?
