CJ and Dame get more than half their points from Nurks screens.

This win is a very pleasant surprise. I had assumed a loss. Now hopefully they don’t blow it in their upcoming games against teams with much worse records.

Don't worry, you will still get somewhat better as the season goes on. I still think Boston should be a playoff team.

Thunder next 5 games against teams projected to be lottery this season. Could win 12 straight. Or now that I said this will lose all 5.

Rockets bench is hilarious, and MCW was part of their rotation until a rookie two-way player took his spot :lol:

Starters sucked too, and Paul has been awful

By that logic, nobodies offense is going to work except the WArriors this year.

Their “offense” is trash, plain and simple. Another L for the “ball movement” cult. Jacking up threes is not basketball, never will be.

They were near the bottom in every possible ball movement metric.

What are you even on about?

Did he really say that? I missed it.

Melo is looking at one of his last years in the NBA I think. This guy is burnt toast.

Webber's point was that Melo has the confidence to keep shooting even after going 0 for 8.

His point was that he thinks Melo is so great he should keep shooting even if he is 0 of 25. If you are still confident after going 0 of 25 then there's something wrong with you. You are deluded. Like those singers who get told by their mum that they are good singers then go on one of those talent shows only for the world to make fun of them.

"Ball movement" cult lol

Rockets offense is one of the most ISO centric teams in the league.

Clean block by SGA called a foul. That would of been 3 first quarter blocks. Portland getting SO many FT ffs

No that wasn't his point. He said Melo has the confidence to keep shooting after going 0 for 8, but the average player would stop shooting all together. Melo is a former all-star, so his confidence is based on past success.

Of all the things in basketball to rip on...ball movement? Come on lol.

Don’t worry, Clippers average 29.5 FTA/G for 4th in the league, the guys will make it up...unless Portland is 1st in the league, I didn’t check them.

Portland 15 FT attempts. Clippers 0. Wtf is happening!?

Rockets do the OPPOSITE of move the ball. :lol:

And I'm not sure what your weird vendetta against ball movement is, anyways. Would you rather teams NOT move the ball and just keep it with one player the whole time?

Raps had like 21 - 4 disadvantage to Utah the other night in the first half.

It’s a cult. They think jacking up open threes for 90% of the game is the result of ball movement. It’s just poor, uninspiring basketball.

Rockets are trash. GM is trash. They will never win another championship, even if you remove the Warriors from the equation.
