Rockets just cant beat the clippers

No dwight and bev, but still

It was the source of jokes earlier in the season, but Brian Roberts and Austin Rivers play well together for some odd reason.

Rockets 0-7 vs okc and the clippers
Ugh

 

[BwareDWare94]

The Clippers lose their best player for like 3 quarters and my Rockets STILL can't come close to beating them? Jesus H. Christ.
 
This team just pisses me off. No excuses. Get the job done or bow out early. Fucking losers.
 
We need Bev in the first round or we're going down.

Isn't he getting a second opinion? For his sake I hope he hears better news but it's hard to inaccurately diagnose something like that....

The Spurs 17 game win streak has been so quiet haha

If it's completely torn, it can't really heal, so it has to be removed, and is a shorter recovery period. If it's partial, they can repair a meniscus, which makes it a much longer recovery period, what Russ went through, essentially.

That's because most of those wins have come against really shitty teams. We're talking Detroit, Charlotte, Cleveland, Orlando, LAL twice, Utah, Sacramento, Philadelphia, Denver twice, and New Orleans. That's 12 out of 17 wins, and the only elite team they've beaten is Miami, who I don't think had one of the big 3 for that game.
 
Other wins include: Dallas (not that impressive, considering Dallas' roster), Portland (who has sucked over the last month), Chicago (nice win, but the Bulls are outplaying their true team quality), and Golden State (nice win).
 
We're talking about 4 quality wins out of 17. It's still impressive that a team has gone a whole month without losing, but their next three games are GS, OKC, and Memphis. Let's see if they get through that. 

 

[BwareDWare94]

yes, I am talking down a 17 game win streak. Just like Houston's two fairly long win streaks recent (5 and whatever that first one was, in the 8 to 10 range), it's not really a dominant streak as much as it is a beating teams you should beat kind of streak.

If you're the Pacers would you rather get the 1 seed or avoid the Bulls/Nets winner in Round 2?

 

[buzzy]

How did the Pistons get blown out by this D-league team? I'm seriously puzzled.
It's not like they're injured or anything, they're pretty much a healthy squad.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Probably Josh Smith's fault.

Joe Dumars'*

1 seed. Homecourt vs the Heat is more important imo

Agreed, if you're worried about the Bulls/Nets in round 2, you're fucked anyway

Stockpiling talent so the Lakers can save time by just getting them from one place.
