I'm just not a huge fan of Westbrook's game come playoff time if his jumper isn't falling. It's a little too inconsistent. It's not entirely his fault but the way he runs things offensively where him, Melo, and George take turns shooting is bad to watch.


Yeah I agree, their offense looks really really bad to watch when they start chucking and bricking shots.

Westbrook's shot is extremely inconsistent, Melo looks washed and PG looks like he just doesnt care anymore.


It's December, what would you expect? But more than his usual lackadaisical early regular season norm , I think it's watching his teammate/s pile up a wall of bricks on a regular basis that makes him even more lazy.

This year's OKC megamove is a megabust!

Theyre playing pretty bad, yet theyre 2 games in the loss column away from the 4rth seed, and 5 games away from the third its still a long season. To say its a megabust is childish but to say its been a great fit so far would also be. Good thing for them is other teams are struggling so they have more time than usual. And 2 I really dont want Paul George's lackadaisical attitude in LA.

CP and Harden are unplayable lol If the Spurs don't get in GS's or HOU's way, it's going to be a awesome conference finals.

With OKC, whether they're facing a lottery, sub500 or one of the league leaders, it wouldn't matter. It could almost always go either way. They're just too talented and too dysfunctional at the same time.

Good thing the Rockets don't care when refs rig these kinds of home games. Pathetic. Could've padded our offensive and defensive stats a little bit, but oh well, I guess they didn't take this team seriously enough once they started destroying them.

No surprise on his foul out, he maybe had like one call that was questionable, but he fouled a lot

Random thoughts:
- Rockets are contenders. Perhaps not the top contenders, but I don't think anyone would be surprised by them winning it all this uear
- This Utah squad is soooo easy to root for. Lots of likeable players that fight hard to the last second
- Mitchell is going to be a great player for a long time

I'm not really into conspiracies, but it sure seems like the refs were determined to get the Jazz to 100 tonight. :lol:

lol that's a nice goalpost move. It should've been another 15+ win if it wasn't for all the ridiculous free throws and of course all those cutesy open 3s that they gave up. Played these many minutes and only came up with an 11 point win. Not impressed.
