how many foul shots will harden take?
>>66577345
Set the O/U at 15.
These freaking unis, man. Rockets in gray, OKC in that neon orange? Who the FUCK thought these would look good together?
>>66577431
some faggot
>>66577490
Must be.
adams is so dirty
>Jump shot
>jump shot
>jump shot
>jump shot
seriously fuck this generation of NBA.
>>66577514
wasn't it beverly who ruined westbrooks games played record
BALL DON'T LIE
>>66577594
...and that somehow nullifies adams' dirtiness
>>66577594
Adams isn't a fraction as dirty as Beverley, he just plays extremely rough like Bogut
Delly and Beverley intentionally do things to injure other players
will the NBA ever crack down on illegal screens?
>>66577736
nah, i hope not, who cares
>>66577736
will they ever crack down on superstar calls and flopping
good thing they fired kevin
I fucking hate the Cockshits
fuck
>>66577736
What makes a screen illegal?
>>66577736
>>66577755
no and no never ever. The biggest problem with the NBA is the players have too much say and power.
Michael Beasley seems to have been a good acquisition for the Rockets.
>>66577621
lol. Adams is the dirtiest player in the fucking league. Delly plays recklessly, Bev is just annoying.
>>66577783
When they move while setting it. Watch the Warriors, Bogut and Green and the biggest offenders of this in the league.
>>66577787
he was a MUNSTER in college
>>66577785
if they called travels how much would players' PPG be affected?
>>66577807
kek
Which one, I wonder?
>>66577783
moving/leaning
sticking out your elbows
feet wider than your shoulders
guys don't even set proper screens now unless it's off the ball, but the NBA doesn't care because it means more scoring
I jus seen harden do an excellent defensive play I noticed him push beasley To help him notice the back door was open then came and helped on the shot by foye wich resulted in a miss shot ..We always talk about the lil defensive mistake it makes Lets talk about the great ones like that
End 1st.
Rockets 30 - 26 Thunder.
remember this game :^)

>>66577811
Probably 5-10 points at least.
>>66577851
Good catch.
Brad Stevens cucked Steve Kerr
>don't worry guys we can catch up in 1 minute chucking 3s
#LEANINTOGETHER
When people say "x is/was a great college player", it's not really a compliment
>>66577964
Your Mum was a great college player, if you know what I mean.
SILENTOAD
Oh my god get Singler the fuck out of there.
I don't think he's done anything in 5 minutes.
Where do the Rockets go from here? They either miss the playoffs or get raped by the Warriors or Spurs. Dump Dwight this offseason, then what?
>>66578083
imo re-sign Motiejunas and get a better coach.
>>66578051
the thunder are the all-time leaders in "having fucking useless players"
>>66577986
NOW WATCH ME WHIP
WATCH ME MAYMAY
B3V!
>>66578083
sign harrison barnes and pray he can develop into an all star like harden did
>>66578083
fire the head coach obviously
>>66578254
Was it Harrison or Matt Barnes that was one of the dirtiest players in the league?
Oh look, Howard's crying on the bench again.
>>66578266
matt barnes
>>66578301
Not like westbruk doesn't whine like a little bitch all the time.
such garbage.
no contact
just like there was no contact by Adams on Harden a second ago
Fucking refs are atrocious. The whole year. Just fire the lot of them.
westbruk with that >wink wink nudge nudge call from the refs.
>westbrook unselfishly gives it up!
>implying he's not just padding his assist totals
>>66578262
that interim HC is doing a great job not trying lose his shit while his team trying push for the playoffs
I would make Howard fucking leave the court and pick a fight with him.
Singler is the only player that has been able to stay in front of Harden this game
Halftime.
53-52 Thunder.
>>66578363
>muh triple double
>Westbrook with the UNSELFISH assist
>he's a triple double machine!
>that phantom foul
The shilling is real.
>>66578363
>>66578406
>implying you keep track of that shit when you're playing in the middle of a game
That's shit only 3rd parties keep track of and you get informed of after the fact.
>>66578406
this is what I mean when I say triple doubles are an overrated stat
>>66578434
Why you mad family?
People just like Westbrook.
>>66578442
Are you fucking retarded? They show their totals on the big screen thingamajig
Brewer has regressed pretty badly hasn't he?
>>66578448
No one cares what you think. People more informed and knowledgeable than you will still use it and still respect it.
>>66578461
>people
>liking westbruk
Nah pham, they like Patrick Beverly.
>>66578461
>Casuals just like Westbrook
Fixt.
>>66578461
nah he's a stat padder, put him in the clutch and he'll never pass that ball and jump head first into 4 players throwing up the worst shot you'll ever see.
>>66578477
only casuals take triple doubles seriously
>>66578466
>in the middle of a play
>See a guy open for a shot
>about to pass it
>oh wait
>looks up in the middle of a play
>I need a point for a triple dub
>still pass it because that's what you fucking do when someone is open
>the shitty of you
>>66578514
wow you're really dumb
>>66578481
>>66578489
>>66578500
Seems like Westgod fucked some salty niggas bitches.
Stay mad and bask in his greatness as he rapes your team.
>>66578536
You're really mad.
What part of the bay area are you from again, Nigel?
ITT: guys who probably can't even dunk call Westbrook shit
>>66578537
my team has literally won a championship while he was chimping his way to the offseason. Keep projecting your inferiority complex, just like him.

>>66578675
Dude, it's on topic; we're shitposting about a player who's actually playing in this game!
>>66577431
just tuned in. Seriously... what in the fuck?
>>66578731
Best wear some shades for this game.
>>66577431
nba needs to dump these ugly ass gray jersey they make all the teams wear and go back to wearing colors away and whites at home
>>66578814
Agreed.
Wackets getting BTFO
if Adams had done that to Howard he would have been called for a flagrant
but of course between Adams and Howard, it's Adams that is the "dirty player"
>>66578875
Well yes, Adams is the dirty player.
>>66578875
Lol. Howard is hated by everyone, especially the refs. Fuck off if you think otherwise.
>>66578907
show me one clip of Adams committing a dirty flagrant foul on anybody, because I can show you a long list of guys taking cheapshots at him
he just pisses guys off because he plays harder than them and it gets under their skin
>>66578934
>all this asshurt
Dirty players aren't dirty if they play for your team, amirite?
>>66578934
> a long list of guys taking cheapshots at him
hmm, I wonder why, since he dindu nuffin
How quaint that everybody just decided to fucking hate this one guy for no reason in particular
wtf McDaniels is playing? And Gouldelock? And Smoove? Has JBB decided to read all the way to teh end of the roster for a change?
>>66578979
>>66578981
every player that is dirty has some sort of video evidence of it, but the only evidence for Adams is some butthurt guys like Randolph and Howard calling him dirty
FUCK OFF SINGLER
>>66579019
Amazing, right? Dunno why, but Rockets coaches have a history of not using the full bench, and sticking with a 7-9 man rotation.
Thank you Turkish Freddie Mercury.
> Thunder shitting the bed already
Singler catches a lot of shit but Foye is easily the worst player in the rotation
Damn this should be the starting 5 for Houston 2bh
Harden's cooking celebration is the dumbest thing ever. He does it when they're ten points down too.
>>66579052
I'm a Rockets fan, and I had to kek at this.
>>66579021
Adams is as dirty as fuck. He is constantly grabbing, holding onto players too long and generally roughing them up in a cynical way. He's my least favourite player in the NBA because of it.
Howard is just strong and fights for position. He gets a ton of very questionable fouls called against him - a ton of players battle for position and decide to give up all resistance and flop to get a foul called on Howard.
>>66579088
He gave them the lead tho. Trust me, I've seen the Rockets down a lot this season, Harden never does it unless it's important to the game.
End 3rd.
82-80 Thunder.
>>66579129
>Trust me, I've seen the Rockets down a lot this season, Harden never does it unless it's important to the game.
>lil b rip off celebratory wank move
>important to the game
>that foul
Jesus christ, just let him shoot the three
>>66579137
Thanks captain obvious.
>>66579157
I'm not saying the celebration isn't suspect, but I've never seen him do it at a bad time. A celebration is a celebration.

>thinks grabbing is dirty
are you fucking retarded? Every NBA big man holds and grabs and clears out space, and the ones that don't are called soft almost exclusively for not doing those things.
>>66579175
No problem!
>>66579188
>responding to this fucking brit
>>66579188
You're trying awfully hard to convince people that you're right, anon. For your sake, let's hope someone ITT listens to your impassioned pleas.
>>66579191
I heard you were running for president, I'll be sure to vote for you!
>>66579218
Thanks anon, let's make America great again!
>>66579232
Will do!
>Bickerstaff
>>66579188
Watch any OKC game and watch Adams. He's constantly doing dirty shit, just constantly, in a completely cynical and calculated way. The idea that flagrant-2s are the only possible way of being dirty is laughable and dumb.
My "favourite" Adams move is when he wrestles a player above the rim down the floor. He does this every other game. One day someone is going to get seriously injured by him.
>>66579282
Fuck off mate
>>66579282
yumadbro?
>2 assists away
Comin for you Magic.

THANK YOU WESTGOD
HARD3N!
>not calling Durant's 5th foul
Just give the Thunder the game already
>>66579390
Door stopper peepeeman*
Fixed
>>66579422
Nope, that's Hard3n. Remember it!
>all this silence
must be a lot of cussing
The Rockets shooting has been complete shit all year.
>>66579430
Nah, that's le cursed by lil b man.
>>66579454
Nah, that's Hard3n. Keep it in mind!
LOL
Howard flat out shoving Adams because he's a pissy psychopath
>Adams
DANIELS!
That was some Dr. J shit right there!
>>66579454
>slobbing the knob of a D grade rapper

>This game
Oh my Harden!
>Ibaka
Wew, actually stoped doorstopper peepee man.
>>66579530
What did he mean by this
Damn... Harden is pretty good offensively. Never really have given him a chance
>>66579676
What, you never saw the video clip of Dr. J making that same exact move a long time ago? C'mon, git gud, phan!
Do you think a big 3 of Kevin DURANT Kevin Love & Dwight Howard with players Isaiah Thomas and Jae crowder and the rest of the Celtics squad Marcus smart etc. could win an NBA championship
Not saying we would get DURANT Howard or even Love but say Danny Ainge pulled it off is that banner 18 or nah not even
>>66579664
He's a good defender
>>66579709
>what is crack team shipping?
>>66579678
Yeah he's a top 3 offensive player in the league. His defense is just terrible. And it's not like Dirk or Steve Nash where it's just a physical limitation. He was an above average defender last season. He just doesn't care.
Goddammit OKC why do you always shit the bed in the 4th?
CAPELA!!!
Lmao okc is the absolute worst at closing games. Bunch of bums
OKC is fucking bad. Only contenders are Warriors, Spurs, and Cavs.
>>66579788
2bh that's where having two superstars on your team doesn't work. 4th quarter needs a go to guy, and they have 2 of them. Also Westbrook's aggressive playstyle gets more careless as the game goes on sometimes
>>66579813
not even cavs dude.
Whew lad
>>66579813
>forgetting the Mavs
Kek
>>66579813
>Cavs
Rockets gonna win, mothafuckas!!!
>>66579829
cavs are the weakest of the 3 but they are still contenders because of LBJ.
Harden is lowkey the MVP
I don't care what happens as long as Utah gets the 8 seed. A physical slow paced team gives us the best chance of a hilarious first round upset. Houston or Dallas would just get blown out. Utah probably will too but at least they're the kind of team that has a chance. They play physically enough to maybe injure someone.
>yfw Durant says fuck this and joins the Rockets next year
>tfw rockets will make the finals and actually btfo the warriors in the 1st round to trigger reddit and bandwagoners.
Lads is it OK if I tell women I'm 6'3 if I'm 6'2 even barefoot and over 6'3 in my LeBrons
>>66579821
Not true, it's just that Durant and Westbrook are idiots who don't compliment each other and have never had a good coach or been on a good franchise.
>>66579877
Dubs confirm!
>>66579875
SLIP
Tell me why you would take Westbrook over CP3.
>MUH TRIPLE DOUBLES
LOL
Okc is gone 1st round. This is the 13th game they've choked when leading with 5 min to go in 4th quarter
>>66579863
>(You)
>ITT: waaaah the Rockets aren't good, OKC is just bad waaaaaaaaaahhh!
The Rockets have time to come back from being down by like 10 rather than the usual 18
>>66579864
Utah is probably gonna the 7th seed.
>>66579888
Now that's just hyperbole.
>up six with 25 seconds
>LET'S TAKE A TIMEOUT
this is why this sport is shit
>>66579886
Le 4th Quarter Collapse Team
>didnt know this game was on
>tune in with 32 seconds left
>been watching for 12 mins already
>>66579887
You're telling me I have to take either? Gross.
>>66579918
>the rockets are good because of one win
>>66579858
i guess but he's getting older and kyrie will probably be injured by the finals and cavs a shit organization to begin with. spurms and gsw are having legendary seasons
>>66579929
Nah, that's just realistic.
Stop blowing Bickerstaff, ESPN. He ain't good, and Rockets fans have wanted him to play the younger players all fucking season.
>>66579918
They aren't good dumbass
>>66579887
You don't. anyone the actually watches basketball knows chris paul is a better player. Just look at what he did this year without blake griffin
>losing to harden and the bench
>cockshits fans wont even stay to see their team win
How does it feel shitty flyover state of OK?
>>66579984
Inconsistent, yes, but good, also yes.
cant wait for durant to leave but if he goes to GSW the league could be finished
>>66579956
they will still make the finals, that makes them contenders. we saw what lebron can do when he wants it. the warriors a few months ago would be the only contenders but they look weak and shook recently getting wins they shouldnt have due to refball or the other team choking.
>>66580007
That probably would be the league's nightmare scenario, depending on how well he'd fit with that team.
>>66580015
>they will still make the finals, that makes them contenders.
Simple Simon over here.
>We saw what lebron can do when he wants it.
Lose another Finals? Shoot and alienate his team out of multiple games? Fire the coach and sabotage your entire season?
K N U C K L E H E A D
>>66580007
Do you have any idea what cap space is?
>>66580038
>>66580038
if you make the finals you're a contender holy shit ur mad lmao
ROCKETS WIN 118-110!
SEE Y'ALL LATER OKFAGGOTS!
>>66580043
Except it's feasible for Golden State to sign Durant to a max contract with a bit of roster shuffling.
>>66580043
have you been hiding under a rock?
http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2016/2/2/10898196/kevin-durant-warriors-rumors-free-agent-thunder
>>66580055
"no." that's how good the spurs and warriors are this year.
>>66580055
You're not a contender if you can't contend. Learn how to think, my man.
>>66580097
Not that anon, but
>muh circular logic
>Warriors sign Durant
Wow its fucking nothing.
That was the first NBA game I watched all season who should I switch over to now?
>>66580121
Women's Final 4 is on.
>>66580097
>if you can't contend.
If you have a good chance of making the finals you can contend. You're a Warriors fan who's shook his team might not even win the ring.
>>66580134
>Women's college basketball
UCONN WINS
LMAO
Is Westbrook now the best player on the Thunder?
>>66580176
No, it's always Durant.
>>66580167
Maybe so, but one of the teams is still called "the beavers" ek
>>66580176
>now
>>66580149
lol enjoy your shit, non-contending franchise and no rings Duh Land.
>>66580176
Don't worry, he will be next year.
>>66580176
He has been for quite some time.
As for Houston, Harden with twice as many points as the next Rocket and twice as many assists as the next one. he must br so frustrated, man
>100-95 with 4 min
>ends 110-118
>>66580288
Nobody wants to play for him or with him. He's not a leader, he's a mid level manager with ambitions outweighing his talents.
>>66580176
No. Durant is but he's been dog shit this season
>>66580228

>>66580200
How the fuck is Durant better than Westbrook?
Westbrook is having one of the GOAT seasons. This isn't 2013 lads. You gotta move on with the times.
>>66580429
He's a very good player. Great is an overstatement, people throw that word around like it's meaningless.
He's not a leader, he just wants money and adoration and some dubious ''alpha dog'' bullshit he probably doesn't even understand. He doesn't make his teammates better and they can't get anybody to go there, all while people leave. He's like a worse LeBron, who is also shit in terms of leadership.
It's easy to lose in the playoffs in the NBA, half the teams make it, don't act like he's accomplished anything. Should have stayed in OKC like the Manu he truly is.
>>66580453
Better than whatever shit hole you call home, and going to the playoffs with a good GM and a good looking, young roster. Building for the future. Thanks for asking.
>>66580510
>half the teams make it
Top 4 with no other good players on your team is an accomplishment, man.
>>66580505
>hogs 99% of his teams possessions, steals rebounds from his own teammates
>"great season" yet they aren't even close to the second best team in their own conference
>dumb casual
>oh look it's a euro
nothing to see here folks
>>66580546
Looking more and more like that was a fluke post-season.
>>66580429
if anything that team carried him to the conference finals. He was horseshit for the vast majority series and was even on the court during the game 6 comeback. he's a good player, but he has more than 150 isolation possessions that the next highest player and always chokes in the playoffs. Thats not how good leader plays
