But it was McFail
Harden was the real MVP
2nd seed

When your starting point guard is more interested in pounding the air out of the ball rather than passing it like the Warriors are doing tonight

Stop hating on parker!

The Rockets don't deserve to make the playoffs tbh.

Would be nice if the rockets end up 8th then both LA and OKC in the 4th and 5th spot. Not going to happen but that would be.perfect for the spurs. Should put a lot of pressure on the warriors to perform.

[Hoops Czar]

I highly doubt the spurs us in any trouble to get passed by LA. I'm hoping they would win to get that 3rd seed from OKC.

Yeah, with HCA, I don't think either LAC or OKC pose a threat. I just want to push them as far back in the standing as possible so if the Spurs have injuries later in the season, they can still coast to the second seed without having to worry about those two teams breathing down their neck.

I'd rather the Mavs end up 4th than 3rd tbh. If any coach can pick the Dubs apart its RC. If the Spurs can't beat OKC or the Clips they don't deserve to win the le.

Looks like golden state like golden state just had a bad game after all. Klay and green read these forums

They aren't playing desperate b/c they know they will cakewalk into the playoffs

.he Blazers (14-20) are making a sneaky run and have actually looked decent even losses despite road heavy schedule (they played only 14 games at the tricky Moda center)..Pelicans need to go 6-8 win streak..maybe if Howard is out for a couple of weeks, and all bets are off..Also Gobert will be back soon for the Jazz they could snatch the 7th seed from them..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Hornacek is dumb as . WHY do you foul there? There's a 5 second differential, you're down 2. Force a bad shot, get a rebound, call timeout. Now you're cooked.

at what point shall we ask if Gentry is simply nothing more than elite assistant coach? freaking Monty Williams got them near 50 wins and just outside playoffs in tougher year in West with AD missing a bunch of games..

Gentry is a good coach. They started like 0-11 with all sorts of injury.

Davis also played stiff and forced way too many possession. Probably got all the MVP talk affect his head.

Would love to have him as an assistant if the owners fire his ass. He probably a little bit better than Pop in terms of offensive gameplan.

[HemisfairArena]

Alvin Gentry is complete ,,,he takes over a 45 win/playoff team from last year and turns them into a 10-22 team this year with one of the best centers in the game. Can you believe their are dumbasses on this site that think Gentry is a good coach?,,,,

Nothing beats 6, but losing to this Rockets team would be pathetic.

Yep, I'd roll a in' barrel.

Your regular season barrels aren't worth much, Thread.

I know, but, it's better than nothing. I very well may not get such an opportunity after the regular season.
