Houston/Brooklyn for basketball. Why not miami? is there a harden florida connection?

I live in Tampa. Born in Italy. Lived overseas my whole life growing up. Watched rockets for years when Yao was drafted and then Harden took the reigns and carried his team on his back for so many years but hasn’t won his chip yet. He will.

Kessler is a gem. he needs to stay starting until Joey Buckets comes back.

I expect the Bulls to make runs we just need to hit timely shots to nullify their runs.

He certainly fits the mold of what we need next to our stars

-Athleticism
-Size
-Range Shooting
-Defense

Give me a lineup at somepoint tonight of:

Harden
Kyrie
Mills
Edwards
KD

Prokorov · Post #89 » by **Prokorov** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:11 am

Why did we just bring in mills for 1 final defensive posiiton instead of like bemry or something?

Rome. We moved every 3-4 years though my dad was in the state department. I picked Tampa for school.

Decent half.... getting in the Bonus super early in the 2nd hurt us. they really didn't get many good looks and they got double digit FT attempts on what was mostly non-shooting fouls.

We missed a bunch of wide open threes. there is room to score alot more the 2nd half. Hopefully those last couple buckets get Kyrie going and this would be a good time for either blake or james johnson to hit an open 3

At least KD got a little rest in the first half.

Need to play better to win. But a MASSIVE improvement over the last 5 or 6 games.

Kess needs to start from now on. Dude is a great fit.

It speaks volumes that we played "meh" in the 1st half and put up 62 points when we have struggled to score so much the past 6 weeks.

Nash's roll a ball out and hope for the best approach works so much better with elite shooters all over. Kyrie is playing poor offensively but still had a huge impact compared to the alternative we would have out there just with gravity.

I'd like to see more roll man dunks/layups off of secondary action. screens with multiple stars invovled should get some wide open points for our bigs on breakdowns.

We are getting great looks, need to hit them. im confident if we stay out of the early bonus we can get enough stops. but we cant miss open shots allowing them to get in transition

Bulls are coming off a back to back. They should be more tired then us in the 2nd half.

Hoping we can take advantage. Better defense. Derozan/Lavine are killing us.

Yeah but it was home with no travel and a blowout so their starters didnt play 30 minutes or more. it may effect them a bit but not like back to back on the road.

hopefully we get the real scary hours and we take advantage of whatever fatigue they do have

what did i say on page 1

DONT HELP ON VUCEVIC.

open three. live with vucevic scoring 2s

NetsJets · Post #98 » by **NetsJets** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:29 am

We can’t give up those 2nd chance opportunities

Prokorov · Post #99 » by **Prokorov** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:30 am

big steal by kessler. a lavine dunk to tie it would have been big momentum wise

Prokorov · Post #100 » by **Prokorov** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:31 am

how is that a foul?

people complain about harden but derozan is an enormous flopper and jobber of the rules
