Eventually redick will start making his 3s
He misses a lot if open 3s

He hasn't been hitting threes all year.

101-59 in the 3rd, wow.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Antawn Jamison sighting.

Celtics quietly pulling off this tank
 
 
Lost 11 of past 12 games (I'm assuming we lose this game to the Dubs). We play Portland and Houston next. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

They aren't tanking. They just aren't good and it's catching up to them.

 

[BwareDWare94]

With or without ANYONE on the roster, it is INTOLERABLE to lose to teams like the Atlanta Hawks, regardless of whether or not the Rockets are on the road.
 
This shit has to stop.
 
And last but not least, what in god's motherfucking name is Kevin McHale giving Ronnie Brewer 25 FUCKING MINUTES for? We more than likely lost because of a fucking coaching decision.

Completely intolerable. I'm absolutely steamed about this.

Cheato where are you

I told you the lakers are bad

Baby kobe andrew wiggins to the rescue

I would think that after several intolerable losses, they start to become a little more tolerable.

Not at all. This team is better than this, even if they haven't peaked yet. This is fucking absurd. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

I only say that because at least once a week you post in here about an inexcusable loss, or the team being better than they're performing.  After so many of those losses, maybe they just aren't as good as you perceive them to be on paper.

That is tanking. When you put out a roster where you rely on Jordan Crawford and Avery Bradley for your shooting, obviously you aren't that good. Those two were 6/24 shooting today combined.
 
 
Look, as long as we lose, I don't care. Between Embiid, Wiggins, Parker, Harris, GR3, Hood, McDermott, Selden, I love this draft (and obviously Randle/Smart/Exum as well but we don't have a spot for him)

Rockets like to not show up vs teams they should beat

 

[BwareDWare94]

Some idiot at BR said that Houston needs to swap Casspi for Terrence Jones. 
 
I'm laughing my ass off. Anybody who's watched this team all year like I have knows that Casspi is extremely inconsistent offensively and if he isn't scoring he's just another defensive liability on the floor. At least Jones rebounds and blocks shots and hustles when he isn't scoring. What a dumbass.

TJ doesn't stretch the court really. Yea, he can stand on the outside, but that doesnt mean the defender will follow him. You have to have a realistic 3pt shot to be a stretch 4, and he isn't a good 3pt shooter. That was my biggest knock on him coming out of UK.
 
Casspi doesnt play defense, that is correct. But he plays offense, and stretches the court. And when Dwight Howard is in the low post, its better to have an offensive stretch 4 than a defensive stretch 4, for sure. Expecially when Casspi is better offensively than TJ is defensively

TJ's 3 pointer has been fine. People haven't been sagging off of him. It's not like he's been shooting 5-8 a game recently. And you aren't realizing how rarely Casspi plays well. 

 

[RipCity32]

Why the fuck can't Josh Smith play like that more often lol.
 
22 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks, 4 steals.
Think I read that only 2 other players have put up those numbers in NBA history.

Cheato where are you

I told you the lakers are bad

they wouldn't be this bad if Kobe was healthy. That kinda makes a difference

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Rockets are overrated as hell. They haven't peaked yet but their peak isn't much higher than where they are now. They're pretenders.
