Rockets goal will be to make the playoffs this year. As long as we limit our turnovers and Jalen/Jabari don't shoot us out of the game, we should be decent this year

Thank God Draymond Green has been given an indefinite ban. He’s got serious issues

Yeah proper bell.

Officiating has been obscene this season though, people get tossed or tech’s for literally nothing. Softest refs in the world

Refs in nba are a different level of bad, and they have 3 officials and their version of VAR!

I don’t mind them but they are so sensitive

Same in NFL

Players gettin EEEEEJECKETED! regularly this season

n donet get me started on completed catch rulings

Exciting to know this is the worst Wemby will likely be in his career

theyre so touchy, kill a lot of games

40k lebron

Don’t know if anyone watched the Pacers/Twolves game. But Ants last few minutes was ridiculous. Especially the block where I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone jump that high

UNC plays Duke today

Ooooh March Madness soon

Chet hitting the rookie wall as their key and only sufficient big?

Twolves relying on imnjuries to come back before playoffs?

Clippers fading?

Nuggets just being the best?

Celtics continuing to show worrying times despite being dominant?

Bucks coming into their own?

Will the 76ers be Embiid ready?

My god are the Magic good defensively?

Lakers vs Warriors first play in game (1 going out first game in play in)?

Heat potentially being 8th seed again?

Will the knicks ever be healthy?


WHAT A PLAYOFFS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE

Still think its funny that the 76ers went into tankmode 2014 to get a top pick for multiple years and ended up getting:

Embiid -3 (AMAZING)
Okafor -3 (been out the league for years, shocker)
Simmons -1 (worst contract in the NBA)
Fultz -1 (absolute shocker)
Mikal Bridges - 10 (WHICH THEY TRADED FOR Zhaire Smith (out of the league) AND MIAMIS 2021 PICK!!)

Obviously they couldnt have paid them all but players they could have got a position or two lower than they had:
Porzingis in 2015
Jaylen Brown or Ingram in 2016
Tatum in 2017
SGA in 2018

Meaning they could have had a team looking:
SGA
Brown/Ingram
Tatum
Embiid
Porzingis

76ers just how how tricky it is to get it right in the draft. They’ve made it to conference finals in fairness but it’s not enough. Still no where near as bad as other teams like Pistons

Wembanyama is doing well against the top guys in the league. Absolute blocking machine

Yeah I’ve watched like 30 spurs games this year, he is him and then some

Playoff predos if anyone is keen - 1 point for right result 3 points for right score

Just insane endings in the Knicks vs 76ers and Nuggets vs Lakers game. If there are final 5/7 minute highlights of both games it’s worth watching. It’s rare to see games with so many huge plays and still go down to the final shot

The lakers are being bitter ‘it’s the refs fault’ LBJ was playing out of his mind. 2 big 3s with one in front of Gordon. I woke the missus up twice due to that game
