everything wrong with today's NBA can be summed up in the stupidity-plus ending to the denver game tonight. i don't have the clip, but in case you didn't see it - nugs down by two with a few seconds left, they get a four on two fast break, murray pulls up at the three pt line (shouldn't but he did), both defenders converge on him - and ALL THREE of the other nugs go out to the 3 pt line. absolutely NO defenders in the paint - it would have been easy pass and an uncontested layup to send the game into OT. instead murray HAS to pass to one of the boobs (campazzo) out beyond the arc - who totally clanks his 3 and the nugs lose. fucking stupid ass nba ball. dumbest thing i've seen since forever.

When was the last time we’ve seen someone bag a trip-doub with steals, and who thought the next one would’ve come from...TJ McConnell.

Off the bench. While going 8-8 from the field.

He's back and he's going to be a steal for Houston.

IF he can keep his hair from spontaneously bursting into flames. loads of talent and maybe more loads of danger signs on that guy.

and one game does not a player make - (jaylen nowell - 28/5/6 in 28 mins on 11-13 from the floor, 6 of 7 from three.)

The game before this one he had 13 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds. Had some big games last year as a rookie too including a 30 point game. Was a five star recruit in high school, tons of talent.

He actually finished with 27 points, 8 assists, along with a steal and a couple of blocks. If you're in fantasy, pick him up because he's going to give you Donovan Mitchell numbers to finish the season, or even better, because his length allows him to block point guards' shots.

they fell completely apart when wood went down. he's back soon and i expect they'll start to win again now and then. we have two games in a row with them about 5 games from now - i was hoping wood would still be out so that we'd have guaranteed (curse) victories. right now i will take a period of winning in any way possible to get this team out of its loser mentality. houston is still obviously beatable with wood back, but it won't be as easy. in the 9 games wood played in after harden left and before he was injured, the rockets went 5-4. since his injury, it's been 16 straight losses.

Doubtful. Butler probably bails on them just like he did the Sixers and the whole thing is still likely blown up.

Doubtful? You have zero idea what would happen if Butler went there. Morey would probably still be there.

Your takes are bad.

You didn’t even consider the impact of Butler being there.

Just like you have zero idea. Either way, no one is giving you a pile of picks in rd #1 for Dario and RoCo. That trade was atrocious

That’s fine.

I can vouch that the Rockets might still be firing on all cylinders with Butler and Harden.

he'll be rusty for a couple of games - then hit his stride again around the time we face the rockets for two in a row.

GSW is going to pick up the win against houston - up by 16 late in the fourth. no dipo and no wall. wood did allright 21/9 on 8 of 12 - but then i see he missed SIX FTs... but it gets better. nearly the entire team sucked at the line. they're down late by 16 - but have missed NINETEEN FTs. how is that even possible? 21 of 40.
