L. Dort has to start making options out of what the defense is giving him. He does not have to shoot the 3, he can drive to the bucket or move the ball. He is doing an excellent job defending Harden.
The way I see it, Harden still balls big!

Chris Paul is dissapointing tonight. With Schröder out, the OKC have already lost

The Rockets are running away with it tonight. There is clear daylight between the two teams now.

Surprising given the half time scores. Schroder let his team down.

The Thunder have to make a decision this off season about their perimeter offense. They are stacked with defensive players on the perimeter, they need to make a trade and get some scoring on the wings. SGA, L. Dort, A. Roberson, D. Bazley, H. Diallo, T. Ferguson is just too much perimeter defense with no offensive threat, maybe SGA.

CJ and Melo going toe to toe with Bron and AD. You love to see it.

Yup.....I was fully expecting either an OT victory or a Buzzer beater. I am actually enjoying this series and silently hoping the thunder takes game 6. Game 7 is what we all want.

Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:48am On Aug 30, 2020
The Blazers came to play today. I really wasn't expecting this as I thought the Lakers would have been out of site by the 4th quarter. Much Credit to them.
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 4:55am On Aug 30, 2020
Anytime the Blazers make some sort of a comeback, the Lakers go an amazing run of points. It looks like the Lakers have it all wrapped up now.

Yea. We do.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 5:13am On Aug 30, 2020
It's hard to accept that there's a team in the NBA that can beat a team having LeBron and AD in a 7-game series.

LOOL.....I legit thought the Lakers would put them to bed way earlier than they did. Credit must go to the Blazer's players who put up such a good fight without their Best player.

Clippers and Rockets have a good shot. Clippers are too deep. Rockets have multiple Lillards as in bad defense but miracle 3s grin

It's an elimination game, why do you think they'd go down without a fight?

For the Rockets, the recipe is to allow less than 20 threes per game. The Clippers have depth yea, but let's be honest, their depth ends with Lou and Harrell. Shanmet and Jamychal Green are not players anybody should be scared of. And we've seen how inefficient Lou has been against us so far. And with all that "depth", they can only play 10 guys a night. The Lakers go 10 deep too, especially when Rondo returns.

And I hope PG stinks up the joint too in a couple of games smiley

Ahaha

This is just wishful thinking, the Rockets live and die by the three. Remember last year game 7 of the WCF, they blew a 15 points lead and missed 27 consecutive 3s.

How about that for a stat line grin grin

Why is Luguentz Dort taking 16 shots in a playoff game in the year of our Lord 2020. I think that's the more pertinent question

I won't touch Roberson with a ten feet pole. OKC need to just hope their picks from the Clippers come good.

The guy they absolutely need to offload is Gallinari. He's a big game mental midget that's a poor rebounder for his size and won't take shots or seize the initiative in a close game plus he can't pass.

I think the game changed when Schroeder got ejected and Covington suddenly became prime Steph

That's a hard one. Those 4 teams look like they're built to play each other. I won't underestimate the Raptors though, I think they'd be in the conference finals at least. Heat/Bucks is anybody's game, but if I'm to put my money, I'll cautiously pick Bucks.

That’s true. The raptors have appeared to be legit. I actually would pick them over the bucks simply because of Middleton.

That boy fred is ice cold!
