They missed the goaltending on Lins shot

[X-Hoosier 529]

The Rockets are the most boring team to watch. Harden has 14 of their 16. All of Howards shots are just unluckily rolling out. Warriors are just so good. Making it look easy tonight.

They missed a lot and ignored a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if that continues when they play in Charlotte. I honestly don't see how the Hornets win that often with Kemba and Lin playing hero ball. Troy might fit in well there.

If Harden scores 25+ a game he gives up 30+ a game with on ball defense or off ball "defense." He's fun to watch and tell your nephews "this is how not to guard." The Warriors are fun to watch and move the ball well but they get more calls than Kate Upton would if she posted her cell phone number on Instagram.

James Harden and the Rockets couldn't care less about defending. Dude shouldn't be on any all star or Olympic team.

I wouldn't say unluckily rolling out, he just has no touch

It was pretty unlucky for him last night. Grabbed 21 rebounds though.

Pacers made a crazy fourth quarter run. They look like the better team but blew game five. I'm not sure if they're better than the Raptors and "mo" though.

Hornets trying to close out the series verse the Miami Wades. Kemba might end up with 50 FGA

Playing Kaminsky over Zeller in crunch time. It breaks my heart.

Lakers hired Luke Walton as their head coach.

He'll probably regret that a few games in to the season maybe sooner. Lakers are a hot mess. Their best hope is landing KD and Westbrook but both seem to want better than the Lakers.

If they win the lottery; get Simmons, then get Westbrook next year they can have a formidable team again.

It is a bit tougher than just getting Westbrook and Simmons.

Major Laker fan here. 

 

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

The best coach available, even out of Thibs and Scotts. Lakers clearly waited for Thibs and Brooks to commit elsewhere. A young champion who has learned from some of the best coaches such as Phil Jackson and Lute Olson. He's the youngest coach in the NBA right now (HC) which will be great for his communication skills in the locker room and recruiting free agents.

Now we won't rush this come back. We have young talent. We could have a top three draft pick, if our pick is not top three, 76ers get it this year and we'll get it next year. No big deal if we lose it, Lakers stole a top 5 pick in Jordan Clarkson and a gem in Larry Nance Jr.

We will aim for KD and possibly trade our top three pick (if we keep it). Don't expect the Lakers to go after all the big free agents. Our GM, Mitch, has already stated he's not going to sign free agents to only make us mediocre. He wants to save money for next years amazing free agents class (Oladipo, Curry, etc).

Per Jeff Goodman:  So far, here are some alternates for the NBA combine: Yogi Ferrell, Marcus Lee, Jaron Blossongame, Ty Wallace, Malik Pope.

Most recent list I've seen for 46 names who are invites and Troy's not on the list.

Not surprised Troy is missing here. Hope Yogi sneaks in.
