I think it's more of Pacers defense cos what I watched wasn't different from Raptors play all season

Paul George went bunkers when Valaciunas fouled out. I don't think anyone on that roster can guard George all the way. I was thinking Pacers in 6 but if Raptors play the same way on Monday, then it's officially a sweep

PG 13 started cooking after the 2nd quarter, Valanciunas fouled out at the end of the 4th, the Raptors were already overwhelmed and seemed disengaged at that point.

Lowry was 3/13 and 1/7 from down town, DeRozan was 5/19 and 0/3 from the money ball, they are both good players however they are not dependable and are who i believe they are.

Then, why wasn't Valaciunas put back? I swore he had a injury or fouled out cos PG perimeter shots started entering.

Just checked, Valaciunas only played 7 mins of the second half. WTF?

This team after this year needs to be dismantled. Terrible, too terrible.

I keep telling people, just because you are annoying on defence does not make you a good player. grin grin

Jeremy Lin was always criticized when he was on this team, now we all see he is the better point than beverly. At least, Lin could control the team and do the things point guards do. Daryl Morey A.K.A mr Analytics is probably regretting this move. In the words of Barkley, Turrible

Rumors online saying it is grade 3 and he is out for the rest of the playoffs.

I hereby declare that testimony fake, null and void.

I have prayed for the Ankle. He will recover in record time. God punish Satan!

He's okay now. There wasn't any need for him to play the remaining quarters, he was fire in the first quarter.

The workload on that ninja is too much! This was what I was telling birdman. Its not enough to want to trade Harden what do you do about your starting PG being Patrick Beverley
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:29pm On Apr 16, 2016
Decale:

It still generally does.

If you shoot more, you make more but your percentage suffers for it. If you don't attempt, how will you make a basket?

How many players this season have up to 200 3 pointers with 40% efficiency? Reddick, Curry, Thompson and probably J.R Smith. Every other is sub 40s. But when you make a stat with highest number of 3 pointers this season, Harden, Lillard, Lowry, Mccollum etc will come up cos they shot more but made less

Most players with 40% or more in 3 pointers don't make up to 150 in a season. If you do, then you're a splash member. You go call Leonard a 3 point shooter? But he's no 3 in efficiency this season.
My point is Curry's feat is impressive not just because of the sheer volume but the range he has.

Taking 800+ 3's and making 45% is outwordly. How many people in the league would take that many shots in an 82 game season and not dip below 40 never mind 45. All the while doing this as your club's #1 guy on offense

I watched it and that should be an embarrassment to the coaching staff of the rockets, they should hide their faces in shame. I wrote a piece in the previous page when i challenged newer generation coaches to play to the strength of the team and their roaster..this has been an issue through out the season and like Shaq said last week, if he was Howard, he would commit 3 consecutive 3 second violations to express his displeasure.

Howard is running the floor, he is demnding the ball, however, he is not being rewarded and this has everything to do with coaching, Coaching in Houston don't believe Howard can produce the volume of scoring needed to win games and that is the nearsightedness of today's coach because it is not all about the scoring.

I'm no Rockets fan, and the Warriors are definitely the better team. But the refs were so biased for GSW, it wasn't even funny. They allowed all those moving screens from Bogut and Green, but every single time, the Rockets made a questionable screen-they were called on it. Warriors don't need that help, they are going to win this series so just call the games fairly.
GOOD cool love the refs then cool tongue
