The Rockets look like ass. Like worse than I've seen from an NBA team in quite some time.

Did you see the Hawks the other night?

I wonder how much Bet365 lost on the Detroit-Orlando game since they had to pay out both sides of the moneyline?

 

[CRHeel94]

I disagree.

You're assuming they still have a soul. Pretty sure that ship had sailed by the second quarter.

Speaking of lost souls, someone told me Quin Snyder has a beach house in CR.

Orlando scored a total of just 19 points in the entire second half last night! 11 in the 3rd and 8 in the 4th. That’s absolutely pathetic. That’d be bad for a high school game.

 

[Icky Mettle]

Also crazy that in two games played last night, one team scored just 79 points for the entire game (Orlando) and another scored just 78 (Houston). Those are shockingly low scores for the NBA and they both happened in the same night by two teams good enough to be in the playoffs!

F’ Bane and Banchero. Loved watching them circle the drain.

For the most part, I have not been moved to hate OAD cookies the way I hated so many dookies through the years. But Banchero, despite his short time at Duke, has always just wreaked of dookieness and is super hateable. Glad we beat his ass twice in two of the biggest college games he ever played.

The Rockets were worse. The Hawks had at halftime what the Rockets had mid way through the third.

Rockets were only terrible on one side of the ball. The Hawks were down 83-36 at the half. The Rockets were only down by 18.

Tune into the Celtics 76ers if you’re not watching.

 

[1moretimeagain]

Celtics were 13-49 on 3s

24-44 on 2s. Maybe they should’ve done more of that.

Cade Cunningham is 24 years old. He looks a lot older.

Cade Cunningham is 24 years old. He looks a lot older.

Wonder if he’s related to Greg Oden?

 

[Icky Mettle]

Cade Cunningham is 24 years old. He looks a lot older.

He’s no Xavier Tillman (age 27).

Not as bad as the Game 6 Second Half Magic just an hour or two earlier.

Not as bad as the Game 6 Second Half Magic just an hour or two earlier.

True, but I didn't watch that. The Magic became like the most unwatchable team in the NBA (or one of them) about eight years ago and they haven't really relinquished that distinction. At least not consistently. I suppose the Kings are in that conversation too. Bulls perhaps. so anyway, I don't exactly go out of my way to avoid them, but I ain't ever sitting around bored thinking, "huh, maybe I'll watch the Magic game."
