Warriors on some Jekyll and Hyde shit tonight. They're playing great D and have some great possessions on offense, but then they're committing these really brain dead turnovers that are helping Memphis stick around.

They have no shooting. It limits anything they can do. They shoot tons of 3 many of them open and just brick them then on the opposite spectrum you have asshat Olynk passing up wide open 3's to try CYO pump fakes that get him nowhere when he could be one of the better 3 point shooters on the team.

They also have nobody who can finish at the rim outside of Isaiah and again I just don't see Isaiah as anything more than a 6th man type player. Was hoping smart would show me something, but has done very little to show any sort of explosiveness to the rim.

Seriously Rockets...
Yeah I just can't see us as contenders when we drop games to terrible teams like this

Yup.

How the fuck can you lose to a winless team after 4 days of rest. Plus you're at home. No reason you shouldn't continue your winning streak. Humiliating.

HAHAHAHA contender?! They just gave up a late double digit lead to an 0-7 disaster.

I was talking about in context of the last season when we got to the western conference finals. And yeah I literally just said I can't see them as contenders when games like this happen.

Barnes had a really efficient night. Feel like his buckets lately have been very timely. He may not put up huge numbers but his scoring always seems to come on line when the Warriors offense stalls.

God. I loathe watching Clippers games toward the end. Fouling Jordan is a fucking routine. How can the NBA rectify this god damn issue?

And regardless of the fouling, step up your god damn free-throw game, Jordan. Your shots are fucking pitiful. How the fuck can you play at the NBA level and have such an abysmal free-throw shot?

Unreal.

NBA shouldn't do shit. Jordan needs to make his shots. I actually find it quite interesting to watch in a cringe worthy type of way

Same here, and I agree, but holy shit. I think both sides are problematic. Obviously it'd happen less if he could make his shots, so I blame him more. But it's clearly exploitable, so I would like for it to be addressed.

As someone who lived through Hack a Shaq, i hope the NBA doesn't do shit. Make these guys hit FTs. If they can't, let other teams take advantage of it. It might be ugly but it's strategy. It's like intentionally walking a team's best player in baseball. If the guy that hits after him starts raking teams will stop.

It only affects 2 teams though, the rockets with Howard and the clippers, so you are essentially changing a rule to benefit 2 teams

I agree. It's tedious as hell to sit through as a viewer, but players like DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard only bring it on themselves by not sharpening their free throw shots. It's why, as a Heat fan, I'm really paranoid that if they make it to the playoffs, teams will zero in on Hassan Whiteside.

It's the easiest shot in the game. It's not like you have to start shooting FTs like Durant or Curry. If Dwight and Jordan would just hit at a consistent like 60% teams would stop. 6 out of 10 of the easiest shot when you are a well paid professional basketball player is not a lot to ask for.
