TJones with 19 and 9. I love this dude. Rising player.

Also, there are two day waits for both game 2 and 3. I hate this BS.

 

[elcheato]

The wait sucks but it makes the games higher quality. 

 

[Pugz]

what was the talk about shortening the preseason and making the regular season longer, not adding games, just making the season run longer? dumb

 

[Mexi]

Fuck rondo lol

 

[Mexi]

Sucks that new orleans gave up all those first quarter steph layups
That was the game

The 45-17 free throw differential in favor of Houston cannot happen again. We got some major calls, tonight. No question about it. The Mavs aren't very good, but we don't need that help.

Does it still count towards the ref ticker if he's aadmitting that his team got the calls?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yes

 

[elcheato]

The tracker isn't as good when updated immediately after one complaint. Gotta update in bunches. Makes it more compelling. And, if you go 1 by 1, it's negative reinforcement, and thus your tracker numbers will be abnormally lower than what they could be

Dan with the psychology behind forum trolling.

So I was looking to see if Ariza and Parsons' technicals would be rescinded, as they absolutely should, and stumbled across this:

Did anybody know they put this out there for everyone to see? Also, one thing I like about Harden is that he often doesn't say anything. He might throw his arms up a bit when he doesn't get a call, but usually he'll just run back down the floor. Only 4 techs on the year. Impressive for a star player.

45-17 free throws in favor of Houston. WTF is that shit, Idk if this is a telling stat but Rondos +/- yesterday was -25. Holy shit thats pretty bad. They should start Barea. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If they were going to bench rondo it would be got Harris. Barea isn't who he used to be but rondo played well last night at least from what I watched

Isn't that misleading? He wasn't even guarding the other PG who had his best game of the season (and probably tapped out for this series, too).
 
Also, JJ Barea is just a small, mostly useless guy who can make an occasional floater, now.
