You do know that his son is two right? I would think that it's not all of a sudden going to make him struggle at basketball.

I do.

It's a confluence of things, but as Richard Cranium said he looked lethargic at the world cup too.

He's really struggling with his shot, which limits his ability to make plays for others. He's looking to pass first, so defenders are playing for the pass. He also had good chemistry with Favors who is no longer there, which doesn't help.

It's pretty clear that his kid is on his mind. That's not going to make his basketball skills decline, but it's also fair to say that he's not eating, breathing and sleeping hoops right now either, which is fair enough. He's going to have to shoot his way out of this slump, which is not necessarily his natural mindset but it's the only way to open up the rest of his game.

Ballers spend half the season on the road though.

Also I reckon he can afford a bit of extra professional help for his family and his kid and would definitely have some. Not sure how much care a 2 year old needs just yet though, sure as s**t not an expert.

But although after I posted today his numbers improved, he's projecting to fall out of the rotation and the league entirely.

I'm sure he can afford the best specialists too, but an autistic child is still a lot of work. He would be on the road a lot, but then again that might contribute to a feeling of guilt rather than relief.

From the stuff he has put out in the media it's obvious that it's on his mind a lot.

Looks like Conley misses tomorrow so perhaps Joe starts with Mitchell as PG?

May well happen.

They need Bogey's shot making, so replacing O'Neale or Conley is the only way Joe returns to the starting group. Might leave them exposed defensively tho.
 
While I think if you blow that lead to a s**t Spurs side you don't deserve anything but you lot having a crack are kidding yourselves if you think you wouldn't be pissed if it happened to your team.

It's not just they ****ed up the call, Pringles tried to challenge and they denied it and apparently it was reviewable. There's also history of crews checking a similar situation and making the change. Its not just a missed call which you live with, it's the fact they ****ed up and then didn't use the many options available to fix it.

I'd actually prefer nothing but the league to admit it was a serious * up and the crew chief probably needs to have a rest, sounds like he ****ed up and was too pig headed to fix a fixable situation. Not fair on the Spurs who have done nothing wrong and yes we deserve to lose blowing that lead. Surely though people can't be happy that something like this can happen in a day they review multiple things. Harden and Pringles were complaining immediately it's not like something was inadvertently missed, clearly something happened and they should check.

The refs were s**t yesterday. How they missed that obvious over and back call by Houston at the end of the third quarter was disgraceful, as usual the Rockets get the golden run with the refs.
Take those two points off and then the Spurs win in regulation. Easy fix.

Lol the Rockets confident that the NBA will reverse the result against the Spurs or replay the final 7:50.

You had 8 minutes and couldn't get the win, tough luck.

Nah sorry you cant just not pay baskets.
I know Houston are a bunch of whingers but the result should be reversed.

Not to mention Walker was OOB for his game tying 3.

Imagine replaying the last 7.50. seriously. Ticketing, food and beverage, staffing.....stadium availability.
