HEY!!! we made 50% from behind the arc and won it.shoteh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 12:09 pm30 attempts from outside at a 50% rate should do it.Moses Scurry wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 12:03 pm We never have an answer for teams like this. They play too unconventional and our guys are pretty dumb, doesn't work out too great.
I liked how aggressively to took it to the hoop without hesitation and no charge call.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:39 pmHis passing out of the post, especially when teams bring the double, has improved dramatically from last season. He’s getting better and we should all be fucking excited.
His passing was exquisite. Clearly, the Rockets' plan was to double him. Towns made them pay.
He can’t get himself traded anymore and now he’s back in rhythm.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:32 pmYep. Why can’t we consistently get this Jeff Teague? I prefer him to the Teague who passes up open 3s and throws guys grenades with 3 seconds on the shot clock.
He is taking his pills as we speak to try and forget Okogies block on Hardensomuchyummy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 10:05 pm where's joda tonight so he can point out the many flaws in okogie's game and what a waste of a draft pick he's been?
Oh, stop. He guarded him plenty. Okogie played him great a lot, but Harden is the best offensive player in the game now. You can play him great and he can still score. Harden took it to him a number of times. That's not a slight on Okogie at all. It's how the game is now. The way the game is called now, there's no way to defend a guy like Harden for 48 minutes.Lightning wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:33 pmyeah, he was the only one guarding him all night, kee-fucking-rist .Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:29 pm It’s weird to sing the defensive praises of a player who’s man dropped 42 points, but welcome to the NBA in 2019, I guess.

I'd love to bring back Taj and $8 seems like a fine number. Several contenders will probably be after him but at this point in his career I think coming off the bench is his best role.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 11:31 pm Dario has really played well moving into the starting line up and Taj is great in his new role. He comes in hot and ready to play. He doesn’t need time to warm up.
If Taj wants back next year, I would do 8 million a year for him. He’s a solid back up big.
Yep. Hallelujah
As bad as people like to hammer him here, he's one of the better PG's this franchise has had.bubu dubu. wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 12:12 am I loved Teague taking it to the rim in the final seconds. He could have dribbled the clock out, but for some reason, James and Paul played some defense on him. Teague and Paul seem to have some weird rivalry. Usually guys coming from the same college seem to have a friendly rivalry, but CP and Teague seem to have a real rivalry. Teague gets up for CP3 games. I looked for those two to shake hands at the end of the game...seemed CP was looking Teague's way, but Jeff seemed to look the other way on purpose.
He's fine. A bit of a dumbass, but he can ball. Definitely starter quality for at least half the teams in the NBA.Sergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 12:20 amAs bad as people like to hammer him here, he's one of the better PG's this franchise has had.bubu dubu. wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 12:12 am I loved Teague taking it to the rim in the final seconds.

The refs were letting then play. Towns didn't attempt a free throw list night.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 10:17 pm One more point on Towns. It's a small thing, but a sign he's maturing.
I've seen him get called for a hook with his off arm when he pivots around a guy in the post. That's an easy call for the ref and a blatant offensive foul.
He did a similar move tonight, but kept both hands on the ball when he did it. I'm not sure if under the rules that's legal, but I know that it's almost never called. I guess it's a "veteran trick." You can get away with a bit of a hook with your elbow so long as that arm is still holding the ball. He got a layup, I think on Nene doing it out of a post-up.
Maturation.
Wiggy should never be muttered with Harden’s name...the day Wiggy is engaged into a game like Harden will be a firstAnokaCountyGuy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 12:58 am harden scores 40 pts on 34 shots, hes the greatest scorer ever.

i'm pretty sure i still thought there was a decent chance to make the playoffs. they certainly weren't mathematically eliminated in february.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:48 pm Need the Heat to take care of the Mavericks, Warriors to take care of the Blazers, and Nuggets take care of the Kings.
We can make some serious ground up tonight on all 3 teams.
You all laughed when I said we can still make a push for the playoffs, better start believing!
