although we lost to OKC and Houston in only a number of days we needed a kick up the backside after cruising through the first few weeks of the season. Its only December still a long way to go until playoffs.
 
Looks like it's gonna be a great win for Houston...this team should be a legit contender by seasons end.

Loved Harden's aggressiveness in this last quarter (well, besides the missed ft's).
And as for Dwight...as much as he is relegated to being a screen setter on offense, he is still a massively important presence on D, a couple of times Parker was met by Howard in the key and was hesitant to put up a layup/floater.

Parker is a genious, not surprise he brought the Spurs back. I've been vocal about how highly I admire the Spurs so this win is a big one for me. Howard made his free throws during hack-a-howard (4-6), Harden took over at the end, Beverly with an offensive tip in, Jones rose to another level after a shaky start (15 rebounds). Parsons has gotten better again this season. The last few games Houston have been better at the little things. Being engaged on defense, making smart decisions, executing defensive rotations.

54 rebounds to 33, 16 turnovers. For this team that is a low turnover number, if they can be more consistent with decision making they can bring that down lower.

Realistically Houston can be around the 26-8 mark by the end of the year. Could lose a few more or win a few more.

Back spasms


Apparently had issues with his back all season, not that you would know it. Dude has stepped up another level this year... don't know how he gets that ugly flat jumper to go in so often. Best contract in the league.

I see your other teams still has the New Orleans Hornets listed, are you a Pelicans fan?


Affirmative - my sympathies lie with the House of the Rising Pelican.

Chalk the confusion down to laziness on my part.

Definitely a case of hedging your bets ;)


This helped clarify matters :p

Got around to watching the Warriors/OKC game. So many little blown opportunities in the last few minutes of overtime there. If Thompson just grabbed the ball: foul, free throws, best chance of winning (dependant on the free throws). But that shot by Westbrook was awesome. Congrats.

Had 2 great games with the Thunder already. Would make for an entertaining playoff series.

Agree with a lot of what Karl has to say there to be honest. Not cool for him to be hanging out with 'the enemy' during a series, and honestly Jackson was being pretty petulant about us targeting Curry. I fully expect Iggy to get a more hostile reception than Melo did, though to be fair it was a while before Melo eventually faced up to the Denver crowd.

Always a fascinating interview is GK. He'll get a job somewhere, too good not to.

I really doubt that actually. His basketball style really works on the "right team" and it has been rare that he finds that team. I sincerely doubt teams take the risk
