Blazers 13 in a row.. Everybody in the West just wants to kill the other. Blazers are hot, The Rockets ain't slowing down, Warriors are trying to chill before war.. Meanwhile there's a confetti party brewing in the East..


But here is the think Skuiiiiiippppp, the Warriors can't beat a healthy Rockets so it's going to be Cavs vs Houston..

Tuesday is the Blazers vs Rockets game. Can't wait to see how they matchup again considering what happened between CP3 and Damian the last time they played.

As per the Warriors cannot beat bla bla..I need fair refereeing, not where Refs will be using FTs to extend the series.

Funny how, we are no longer hurting parity in the league with virtually the same team from last season.

I watched that interview where Dame said he really didn't like CP3 running up the score. He just Air Balled the interview I almost questioned his mental toughness cos he really sounded Hurt. CJ McCollum is almost as gifted as Dame and I believe in those two. I definitely won't be missing that game. The Blazers front court better hold their end. However, I think Houston will take this one again.

As for us Warriors, I'm not even bothered about the noise.. Just hoping everyone is healthy, locked in and that the refs don't carry this momentum into the playoffs cos they will for sure be needing more than Security Escorts.

I don’t even care who takes it at this point as we have lost that number 1 seed being 3 games behind. The NBA won’t let us come back even if we wanted to as it does not bode well for the hype they want to sell going into the playoffs. I don’t even think we care anymore as long as we get 60+ wins going into post season.

But I think Dame and CJ care about beating the Rockets and the Rockets care about not losing. That is what makes the game interesting. The home team will take the W. That is my prediction though.

As per the potential matchup between us and the Rockets, we should just brace up for miracle games like game 3 against Cavs because that is the only way they don’t extend the series. If we make any little run and we are 2-0 up in the series, Curry will get ticky tacky fouls that will force him to be benched and then James Harden will get funny free throws.

You can bet on it.

no he doesnt. watch again abeg. even if you dont think love taps are fouls, fouling on the hand taking the ball to the basket is a foul any day. You cant touch that shooting arm, but Lebron gets molested constantly as defenders try to strip the ball

Three times he's been smacked in the first quarter including an elbow to the face that required a timeout. But some clowns here who I strongly doubt even watch NBA games will come and tell you "Oooh LeBron gets many calls".

If Spurs don't give these Warriors a blowout at least, then they shouldn't worry about making the playoffs.

This table you're shaking has you on it as the Chairman.. I mentioned this the other day, you decided to make it all about Curry and said all the calls Harden gets is due to his brilliance as if the best player in the league and other superstars aren't brilliant. Now you're shouting. Oti oo!! You can't be complaining now. The refs are totally right. The players are complaining too much including Warriors and Cavs fans.. Let's stop whinning and let Harden (MVP, with or without the calls he gets) keep enjoying the luxury.

Man, don't twist my words. I was very clear that Harden or Curry o, let the calls be the same for everybody. You guys are partial on the bad calls. When its Harden or LBJ or any player you dont care for, you are ok. When its your player, particularly Curry or GS, you have a problem.

And you guys demonstrated that again today. I talk about LBJ not getting calls. You guys said its fake news (eruditor). Right on cue, Lebron gets fouled back to back on 3s, no calls. Then you guys go silent. If it was Curry that got fouled like that, we will not rest for the next week grin.

The same rules that apply to Curry must apply to HArden must apply to LBJ. Why is this hard to understand undecided

I like how you started with not twisting your words but perhaps you didn't read when I mentioned LeBron, AD, Derozan, Curry (whom you believe gets the same type of call with Harden), Cousins to be victims.. These guys would average 30ppg+ if they get the kinds of calls Harden gets and that's fact. I explained that if they give Harden those calls, they should give everybody the same including your LeBron and my Curry, AD, Derozan, Cousins, etc. I watched Cavs game a lot and todays game further proves I was never wrong or biased to have included LeBron in my list. But nah!!! I can't mention Curry because I be warriors fan. Maybe it's you who have something against the Warriors as a whole because I (not eruditor) already included LeBron and other stars apart from Steph who don't get respected as much. But you won't agree as long as Curry in on the list.. OK na.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:54am On Mar 20, 2018
Same rules that applies to James Harden should be extended to everybody in the NBA including LeBron as I've always mentioned, Anthony Davis (whom Alvey Gentry would be getting fined for), Derozan (who Dwayne Casey was ejected for), Curry, etc..

I called "including Curry" on the list of people who get calls regularly fake news because it is fake news and I highlighted his name to show what I was addressing.

I am a James Harden fan, you can check how I defended him vociferously last time out when I wanted him to win MVP and this season predicted him or Kawhi for the title. But even in 2015/16 when Curry was having his best ever season I still said James Harden plays his game to get fouls.

If you cursorily check my previous posts on this issue, I have conceded that Lebron does not get as much fouls as he deserves but he is not the one to make that complaint especially when compared to Curry because Lebron still gets a 100 more FTs than Curry. This is an aside from the fact that Lebron travels a lot and he is not called on it as well as fouls other players when going to the basket.

Compare that to Curry who even gets fouled more off the ball than when he is with it. Then the fouls on 3 points shots, really? Who on the planet gets fouled the most on his 3 point shots? Would it not be the player who is the best at it and whom every other player in the world knows is the best at it?

Again, the figures are there for all to see. James had 425FTs. Harden had 610FTs. Curry had less than 330. So how will anyone now say Curry is in the same breath with Harden? Check 2016, 2015 and 2014 Harden has always been the clear leader of the FTs and Curry is usually 100s of FTs behind him.

If we use the stats, Rockets are the number 1 team in 3PA. 27th or 28th in points in the paint yet number 2 in FTsA. Even the maths shows something is wrong with the team that barely goes to the paint, shooting way more FTs than others who do. So again, James Harden is in a world of his own in that and when he is not, you would bring Lebron into that world waaay before you would ever think of bringing Curry.

Period.

Quinn Cook is a baller. I'm not sure we'll drop anyone to pick him up besides come playoffs, they're going to take advantage of his height and make him post up. I'm also impressed with how we're competiting without our starters.. Draymond is also out with thigh contusion.. This game is the Spurs' to lose.

When someone starts talking like this you don't need a test to tell you he's a certified re tard who has no business watching the NBA. Harden doesn't travel, Westbrook doesn't, they don't use their forearms as well. Only LeBron does that so we should use a magnifying glass on him. Small fry, why don't you just refraining from posting at all because everytime you post there is always one statement that exposes foolishness. Clown

Of course I put a video here of a pundit stating exactly that. Even long before your parents traded you for stupidity, Lebron has always been called his Royal Traveleness because he does it a lot. You are the wimp who never has any evidence to back his claims.

Thigh contusion my foot.

I know what they are doing and why the bench players are trying hard. They are fighting for that limited playoff spot or in Quins case a decent contract.

Kerr wants to dash this one to his mentor so SAS can make the playoffs. What will be the point if we win? SAS won't win the title this year and even if we don't, Rockets will win it all. So might as well help Pop play maybe his penultimate playoff series. Word is, he might coach for 1 or 2 more years and hang his boot.

Seriously, what kind of dweeb makes statements like these? cheesy I can't be the only one who's cringing.

So because people call him something that makes it true yeah? Funny thing is these days I see a lot of videos with no travel whatsoever but sure enough you will see reta rds like yourself calling travel. Well mind you people also say harden and Westbrook travel and they do, LeBron does as well not as bad as people claim but he does. Point is why do you have to single him out? Clown.

I did not single him out. Westbrook travels? James? Sure like almost every other player they can make the mistake here and there. Lebron, I would say, is habitually more prone to travelling than both players.

Takes nothing away from his status but if he travels before he is fouled why should his travel be ignored and not the foul?

I swear I never saw it this way.. I think you're taking it too far. The theory makes sense for another NBA conspiracy video but I just can't believe this is the case of today's game. Anyways, Houston got the 1st seed on lock so we might as well rest everybody..

Which kain rib injury/fracture will heal in 2 weeks?

Or which ankle was Steph dancing with during his 30th birthday?

I am not saying they did not have slight injuries but if we were in dire need they would have come back faster.

If they don't sell it this way the NBA will fine them. I am using the body language of the men that matter to know that Kerr and co don't seem worried.

It might just be in my head but I doubt it is.
