I'm convinced that this time is going to have to shoot AT LEAST 38% from three to win

Some of you need to use firstrowsports so you can actually watch your team. That's how I've been watching em all year.

It's unwatchable for me. I don't know if I'm spoiled by crisp HD or if my conneciton is just too slow, but I'm over fighting through all the pop ups/unders and ads just to get to a crappy stream that craps out every 15-30 minutes.

Eh usually only once a week I have a lot of problems with the stream. Other than that it's pretty smooth.

vipbox. tv is great. There's a live chat function on the side of each stream with lots of people actually talking basketball too

Could not agree more. If it isn't a big game then it isn't worth it. ESPN iphone updates work just fine. If I see the game getting close or hear something interesting is going on (GSW 3-point shootout) then I will try to watch it.

The game tonight is on NBATV... and it is blacked out. You have to be f'ing kidding me.

Portland lost again and it'd be real nice if the Suns hold on and beat the Lakers

I'm guessing Harden will be out for the Clippers game

The Blazers are a non-contender but the Lakers are looming. Today might be a huge day in the grand scheme. Gotta hold on here. The Warriors have a run left in them.

Hardens ankle looks like it feels better. He just tried to dunk on 2 dudes

Rockets have looked great tonight. They are getting great shots at the basket. Chandler Parsons has been sensational.

This 2nd half is some of the best basketball I have seen

Total team effort.

Parsons: 21 pts, 9 ast. 8 reb

Lin: 14 pts, 10 ast, O TURNOVERS

Asik: 13 Pts, 15 reb

Harden: 27 pts, 7 reb, 5 ast

Patterson & Morris: 12 pts each

Delfino: 10 pts

7 players in double figures (love that!)

*only 11 team turnovers (only 2 in the 2nd half)

Good win to erase some of the stink of the Sacramento loss...a win against the Clips would be gravy, but will be a tall order on a back-to-back with no way of knowing how Harden's ankle will be tomorrow.

It only took 13.5 years, but I am finally a TexAgs legend.

From the Red 94 blog:

quote:
Stephen Curry may have had 27 points, but Jeremy Lin had 10 assists without a single turnover. Houston’s turnover numbers in general have improved quite a bit over the last month or so as the team gets used to one another. While the Rockets still turn the ball over more than any other team in the league, they have averaged only 13 over their six February games, which would make them the third-best team in the league if compared to the other teams. Statistics like these indicate a team which is growing and learning together – and not throwing as many bounce passes at Mr. Asik’s feet.

The fact that the team is starting to mesh together really well is really exciting. If this continues then I think we could make some noise in the playoffs.

If the top 3 stay how they are I want to stay in the 8 seed to face SA over moving up to face OKC or LAC. Best case would be to move to 5th and face the Grizzles.

Hell no, bring on the Clippers. The Spurs and Thunder are by far the best two teams in the west right now. The spurs are top 5 in both offensive and defensive efficiency and are just so well coached. Our young guys would get swept by that veteran squad once the games slow down to playoff mode and become more about execution in the half court. The Clippers on the other hand... bring them on.

IMO,
Best case: 4 seed

Worst case: 9th in the West (again)

You'd rather play the spurs than the clippers? You crazy.

Going to take a huge effort tonight without Harden. It's probably a good move to sit him out and give the ankle some extra time to heal.

Without Harden this game is almost lost. Its hard to come back big against these guys.

Portland lost again and starting to fall apart. Lakers will be 3 games or 4 games behind going into the break.
