rockets schooling the warriors

miami playing the sad trombone for the last two games

called it - Beverly is a headache in the backcourt.

he shut down Steph, who only managed 5 FG's the entire game. he scored 22 points, but half his points came from 11 free throws.

and Klay Thompson got douched - he didn't even record his first FG til the 4th quarter.

Beverly is our pest - he is strictly out there for his defense. he disrupts some of the best PG/SG's in the league.

Harden and Howard got off too.....

good game....Rockets need more consistency though...

14-7

Indiana's strength of schedule is looking a little bit tougher of all a sudden, no?

This has been their current road trip:

Clippers - W

Portland - L (back-to-back)

Utah - W

Spurs - blowout W

Thunder - ?

and I laughed when you said they're schedule is getting "tougher"....

through their first 16 games, they have beaten 15 teams that are sub .500 and ONE team that is actually playing .500 basketball, which happens to be Detroit....

they've played two teams that were actually worth a shit in the last week - the Clippers and the Spurs - they split the two.

now they have the Thunder. if they beat the Thunder, I might consider them a little stronger than before....

[Litos]

Indiana hasn't played Miami, Houston, Denver, Golden State, Dallas, etc.....

playing in the East is like kicking puppies.

they could cruise through the season and make the playoffs while having to play playoff teams that are 10 games under .500

out West, all the playoff teams are 3 or 4 games over .500 with actual talent.

any league that has the Wizards, Bobcats and Cavs in the playoffs makes me giggle.....

terrible terrible conference.....

They've only "played two teams" worth anything in the last week?

So Portland is not worth anything?

They ROCKED the Spurs, in San Antonio.

What else do they need to prove to you?

They can only win the games that are put in front of them and thus far, it doesn't really matter if it's a team from the East or West.

listen to what i'm telling you without getting so offended.

they have played two teams worth anything in the last week. TWO !!!!

what did Indiana do when they played a winning team for the first time !?!? they lose to the Clippers on December 1st.

only took them 17 games to actually meet up with a team that isn't playing sub .500 basketball.

then they played Portland 4 days ago - the Blazers were the SECOND TEAM they've faced all year that had a winning record. they won that game.

so, in short, Indiana is 1-1 playing teams with winning records

[squishy]

...So, how bout them Lakers!!

10-9, NBA Finals, here we come!!

Just kidding.

I'm not offended.

I don't understand what you're talking about though.

The Clippers have a winning record. Indiana beat them.

The Spurs have a winning record. Indiana beat them tonight.

Indiana BEAT the Clippers. 105-100.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone here lol.

No no, I think he's talking about December 1, 2005, when the Pacers lost to the Clips 88-76.

[Litos]

sorry, the Pacers are 2-1 against teams with winning records.

they lost to the Blazers, but they beat the Clippers and the Spurs....

in short, they've played 3 teams with winning records up until now.....

Rockets beat the Spurs in San Antonio by 6 also.....

oh, and they beat Portland by 15....

I haven't said one bad word about the Rockets. All I'm doing is supporting my team.

Litos man, the Pacers have a better/higher winning percentage against Western Conference teams than the Rockets do.

And the Rockets lost to the 76ers (one of the Eastern Conference "puppies" you referred to). Pacers beat the 76ers 106-98 back in November . . .

And nothing you say will ever offend me. We're just talking basketball.

You were just saying things that were blowing my mind (e.g., the Pacers lost to the Clippers) and omitting impressive victories (liking blowing out the Spurs tonight on the road).

December 20, your Rockets take on my Pacers at home.

Friendly wager on that game?

I like the way you think!

Ok, it's settled then.

If Litos loses, we get a picture of "PACERS" imprinted on his wife's ass.

i'd be more willing to bet if I knew what ybbiz's wife/gf looked like.....

Rockets pick up another win by crushing the Magic.

Dwight was back to his normal self with 20pts and 22reb.

Looks like the Pacers got dominated by a Western Conference team by 24 points...

they are 2-2 when playing teams over .500 - just sayin.....

Rockets 15-7
