Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
I think we can be better than the rockets defensively but Golden State is just unreal. Guess it’s just been a while since I saw have freaking good they are. The warriors bench is even better than last year.

These situations happen and it seems like people try to one up each other proving how sympathetic they are online.
"Feels so bad for Gordon"
"Gordon get well soon, buddy."
"Gordon, you're the big brother I never had. Please get well soon."
"Damn you god!!! Why did you do this to Gordon. Life is empty."
People, please. They'll give the guy the best medical care in the United States. His money is guaranteed. He's set for life. He's in physical pain now and that sucks but they'll give him some high quality painkillers and he'll be okay.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
Is anyone else watching this Rockets game and thinking Chris paul may end up being even more marginalized than we may have thought? There have been times he has been on the floor and I didn't even know it was him. Tucker seems to be a more impactful addition than him right now.

Horrific injury. Didn't even want to finish watching the game afterwards.
What happened to Durant and Paul? I never watch Warriors games unless we play them.

He was basically invisible. I thought the same thing. Apparently he’s dealing with a knee injury. Dantoni said that he’s basically playing on one leg.

Was he playing off Harden more than expected?

It kind of reminded me when Beverly was pg and Harden was the two. Beverly would just give the ball to Harden and let him create. Paul wasn’t by any means bad, just kind of invisible.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
Paul will be fine, it's his first game in a new team and in a completely different system and he was clearly nowhere near 100% but still got 11 assists and made a bunch of great plays on D.

Re: Around The NBA:2016-2017
Again, I did not see the game, but I think this is somewhat expected. We were having the same problems in the preseason. It's natural to just fall into (old) habits that worked for you.
