2013 NBA Discussion Thread

One of the best games I've send Kobe play in a while

He's a had a fantastic season for someone with his mileage. He's going to have to play the way he has the past two games to keep Howard from being a cry baby. They looked good though

About time

About to go on a 7 game road trip after New Orleans Tuesday night. Most critical stretch of the season going into the AS weekend

Roc just waxed Utah. 125-80 final in Utah.

that run of games will determine the future of this team as it stands...

Up 18 in the 4th quarter and fell asleep but a win is a win

And the Lakers come crashing back down.

2nd straight night of a poor 4th quarter after completely outplaying them in the 3rd. The system is still working, shots just weren't falling last night. If only Dwight was even 80% that would help a lot

How bad was his injury, you have any idea? I thought I read Howard got hurt.

Cowherd just mentioned it was his shoulder. If it wasn't for the horrific start they might have time to put something together. I just think they are in too big of a hole. They have had some bad luck this season.

Apparently he has a torn labrum. He left with about 8 minutes left last night and Beasley got some big buckets around the rim without him in there. The problem is with Jordan Hill out for the year they have no size other than Dwight and Pau and the latter is just not a physical player

I wonder if they will make a push for Greg Oden? Miami and Cleveland are rumored to be the front runners but if Dwight can't stay healthy maybe they get in the mix? He would be very cheap so it's a low risk especially for the Lakers and their current situation.

God damn.

Rickey's tie an NBA record for 3s and absolutely out it on Golden State. The record would have been broken if GS didn't foul every play down the stretch.

That was a topic on the radio today. I see both sides of it though. It's one of those rules that you don't keep throwing up 3s late in the game when you are up big. On the other hand if you aren't going to letup then why should Golden State? They can't just let you have the record. I would be annoyed if I was a Rocket fan but I understand why they did it. Still a crazy shooting night though. 140 points?

Most in the nba this year. Everything was falling. I think it's annoying and nerdy and it but why not just D up? If you get beat fair and square then you just suck. It's not like the rockets were only shooting 3s late.

wow, when ali posts a kobe dunk you know its a big deal! lol

NBA All Star Weekend right around the corner and of course its in the H.

Rockets are littered all over it.

Chandler Parsons is on the #teamShaq in the Rising Stars game.

James Harden is in the Shooting Stars contrast with some scrub named Westbrook.

Sam I Am & Big Shot Bob will also be competing in the Shooting Stars contest.



Jeremy Lin is in the Skills Competition.

Former Rocket James White is going to in the dunk contest.

And of course James Harden will be the 6th man on the Western Conference All Stars.

OKC has the best player on the Western Conference team and the best player coming off the bench. Don't forget Oklahoma City boy Blake Griffin also starting. OKC all up in it.

How behind are you? Harden isn't on OKC anymore.

Blake Griffin probably doesn't deserve to be starting either.

JJ is listed at 6"5 295lbs. Damn Yao is a big fucker.

OKC offense is all one on one if you stop their fastbreak, and against the heat, you can't win like that

Wow this team is NOT winning the tittle, ill sport a sig of the banner for a whole year if they do...

Dwight Howard is shot. No Pau for 2 months was the death blow for this team
