Man if both Celtics and Rockettes win the series, LOL.

 

[thekad]

What if we have two teams come back from 3-0 deficits?

There aren't two better teams for it to happen to than the Knicks and Thiefs.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Those fans by the player entrance seemed to be all smiles.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

This one's for you Seattle!

 

[perfectchaos007]

OKC just wanted another free trip to Houston. Congrats guys don't forget to visit our museum district!

 

[cacophony]

FUCKCKKK YEAHHHHHHHH

 

[Psychological Intellect]

hopefully KD takes 35+ shots in game 6.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Who needs Dwight, when you have Omar Asik...

 

[Smokey]

POP THE CHAMPAGNE

 

[linsivvi]

Definitely lower than 52%. That is like 110 orating or something close.

Last I saw closer to 40%

Asik is a 56% FT shooter. That's like 112 ORating if you only let him shoot FTs.

The Rockets ORating is exactly 110.

 

[dalVlatko]

Definitely lower than 52%. That is like 110 orating or something close.

Last I saw closer to 40%

52% would be 104 orating

I think its simply FT% x 200 vs team offensive rating to determine if it will be effective

Houston offensive rating is 109.7
Asik shoots 56.2% in free throws which is 112.4 offensive rating

So you are better off letting them run their offense rather than put Asik at the line

 

[reggieandTFE]

Webber subtly reminding Bulls fans that they could have had Melo and Asik, but they overhyped Deng and Noah and refused to trade them.

Carmelo wanted to go to NYC.

Asik is a different issue.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Wow.....Houston nutted up and won tonight.....

Game 6 is going to be good!

What a joke, even if the thunder win the championship I will hold this hack-a-Shaq nonsense against them. Plus Derek Fisher. I hate him almost as much as ginobili... (Jazz fan).

But honestly any nba fan should be sad about the hack a Shaq thing, considering the #1 seed is doing it to the #8 seed in PLAYOFFS

Ginobiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Black Mamba]

Perkins with 2 and 5 and -13 in 16 minutes

Collision with 6 and 2 with +- 0 in 6 minutes

I don't get it.

 

[jjasper]

It'd be awesome if the Rockets can drag this to 7.

But I think Durant goes for 50 next game.

If Durant goes for 50 OKC will score like 80 which won't be enough to win. He needs 60-70.

Houston one miracle bounce from being up 3-2.

 

[darkside31337]

you never believed.

 

[suffah]

If harden made it to the second round over KD...lol

I hope your talking about sometime after this season......

 

[FullMetalx117]

Well I guess it's been pretty much proven now. Westbrook has been the fire for OKC not Durant.

@Jonathan_Feigen
McHale told Asik to take it, but it was too late.

re: the Durant T

 

[SoulPlaya]

Carmelo wanted to go to NYC.

Asik is a different issue.

Denver offered Melo for Deng and Noah. The Bulls said no, not because they didn't believe that Melo wouldn't sign with them, but because they felt that Noah was "untouchable" in a trade.

Idiots.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

We've said it since last year, if Harden shows up his team wins.

 

[masud]

What if we have two teams come back from 3-0 deficits?

Only half the shame? I'll take it!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

lol. Harden had 31.

and Martin had 3.

 

[effzee]

As bad as Stockton is, Webber has improved quite a bit as a commentator/analyst.

Does Lin play in the next game?

Would be amazing if both series have reverse sweeps. Still can't believe JR and punks on the Knicks wore all black to signify a funeral. Fucking I hate the Celtics and especially KG and the Jet but they are making me root for them in that series. Morans.

 

[Matrix]

I hope he decides to hack Asik from the start of the first quarter.

haha that would be awesome. Being a former Rocket... the extra boos would be hilarious. I think he just found out Asik isn't Howard.

 

[theignoramus]

OKC will win in game 6 or 7, but they might not win a single game next round.

#YNOTMVP


lol

lol. Harden had 31.

and Martin had 3.

1-10 as well.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Houston offensive rating is 109.7

So you are better off letting them run their offense rather than put Asik at the line

You also have to account for the time that doesn't get run off the clock if you are trying to make a comeback.

 

[Smokey]

you never believed.

Since you were banished we have won 2 games. Stay away

re: the Durant T

That would have been the highlight of the playoffs.

"dat mothafucka fuked your wife"

 

[fertygo]

Stop trying to being Lebron and shit KD, you can't.. you more likely score 30 a quarter than that.
Maybe this why YNB chucking.

 

[Emwitus]

What? LOL Or your talking about okc?

 

[balddemon]

so I asked durant to break a dollar but he only had 3 quarters

 

[EvilMario]

@Jonathan_Feigen
McHale told Asik to take it, but it was too late.

re: the Durant T

I'll admit, I was hoping they were going to do this.

 

[Edgeward]

Got to give it to McHale to stick with Asik when the hacking started. Will only do well for his confidence later.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

lol. Harden had 31.

and Martin had 3.

remember when okc-age said martin is a better fit than harden?

 

[perfectchaos007]

@Jonathan_Feigen
McHale told Asik to take it, but it was too late.

re: the Durant T

missed opportunity for lolz there

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Wait wait wait.

Nick Collison played 7 minutes and had 6 points on 3 of 3 shooting, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks?

Is this box score real?

 

[Smokey]

Lin out. Darkside banished from #rednation... Two wins. No coincidence.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

remember when okc-age said martin is a better fit than harden?

Who could forget those mental gymnastics.

 

[mastershake]

Damn... should be 3-2 rox but durant and that bounce :/

 

[Black Mamba]

Asik is a 56% FT shooter. That's like 112 ORating if you only let him shoot FTs.

The Rockets ORating is exactly 110.

I'm not sure what you're arguing with me here. I'm saying the break even point is lower than 52 so obviously it is stupid to hack asik.

52% would be 104 orating

I think its simply FT% x 200 vs team offensive rating to determine if it will be effective

Houston offensive rating is 109.7
Asik shoots 56.2% in free throws which is 112.4 offensive rating

So you are better off letting them run their offense rather than put Asik at the line

You forgot to add in offensive rebounding so its worse. With asik it's like 115+ depending how we treat other things.

 

[pilonv1]

Western Conference teams with less than two wins this playoffs

Los Angeles Lakers

 

[snack]

Houston is a better team without Lin. He should still sit even if he's healthy.

Brooks >

re: the Durant T

This could have been amazing

 

[Bowser]

 

[Dthomp]

How can Kevin Martin be playing this bad? KD is being doubled on almost every possession and yet Martin is nowhere to be seen to help pick up the scoring slack. When Sefo is your second best player in a game you've got issues. I can't begin to comprehend how bad OKC has been since YNB went down. Scott Brooks has been shown to the world he can't coach. Perkins shouldn't even see the court in this series, and against teams like Miami. He does nothing in this series other then commit fouls. Nick Collison comes in and gives points, rebounds and effort and yet he's on the bench. SMH at this series
