Its 2015 and he's nothing but a mope. I used to love watching Rondo play but he's a little ***** now. Winners suck it up and get it done all the time not just when they're getting their way.
Great comeback by GS but the only way you comeback from 20 in a 4th quarter is if the other team goes into complete choke mode.
I agree partly. They should've kept going to Ryan Anderson. He hit 3 in a row
Or they could have just boxed out on defense, only reason GS got into position to have Curry save them was getting tons of cheap baskets on offensive rebounds.
Wow I shut the game off after watching the third quarter and New Orleans was dominating and GS looked like they had mentally checked out and was looking to Game 4.
I'm starting to get a kick out of following your posts. Because every time I wonder WTF you are talking about. :spinny:
Maybe. But I'm still riding with the Mavs. They were a much better team offensively prior to his arrival. Granted, that was with a healthy Chandler Parsons and a semi competent starting PG but I think they can get a game or two off the Rockets.
I don't know man, Carlisle is great at adjustments but sometimes you just don't have the guys you need. I thought they were always going to have to outscore Houston to win and without Parsons, that got a lot harder to do. Their defense hasn't been good all year and I just don't see how they can shut Houston down. Houston is really going after Dirk too, and they've been killing him using Smith as the ballhandler in the pick and roll with Howard. There's no good spot to hide Dirk or Amare with some of the lineups that the Rockets has thrown out. They've actually done a good job of containing Harden but they're still down 0-2. That said, it wouldn't surprise me to see them or Portland get a game at home, but I think that's going to be it.
That's probably right. They're outmanned, and with Dirk slipping noticeably this year they just don't have the scoring punch. Dwight Howard's return to relevance wasn't something I was expecting, either. He and Derrick Rose are a couple of nice comeback stories emerging from the postseason so far.
I hope Rose can keep it up. I'm not a Bulls fan but man, when that guy is at full strength and healthy he is fun to watch.
Manu, Parker and Duncan combined for 12 points and the Spurs still win by 27. KAWHI!!!!!!!!
GO SPURS GO

He's a defensive terror, and his offense has steadily improved since he came into the league. There's a pretty short list of guys who can slow down any team's best wing or guard plus chip in a double double. And the scary part is that he's only 23 and still getting better. I don't know what San Antonio will look like next season - Duncan and Ginobili are free agents and they might hang it up, Danny Green will be an unrestricted free agent, and Khawi will be a restricted free agent - but I hope Pop and Buford manage to keep the core together for at least one more run. They play some beautiful damn basketball.
Typically the 1st round seems like a snoozefest, but last year sort of delivered. I think there were 5 game 7's in the 1st round.....then none the rest of the way. Of course all but 2 of those game 7's were absolute blowouts.
Just wish they could speed up the 1st round though. I remember as a kid where teams would play back to back nights and roll through a best of 7 in like 10 days at most.
